(More customer reviews)My hairdryer died and while I was waiting for a new one to come from Amazon, I picked up this hairdryer at my local Target in desperation. (I don't like walking around with damp hair when it's cold outside). For the price I paid for it (a quarter of the price that the amazon reseller is charging), it was a good deal - good airflow for a compact hairdryer, and the ions seem to be working, no dryness or frizzyness. It dried my hair quickly, and my hair was soft and shiny afterwards. Also, the cord retracts into the dryer quite smoothly and easily at the push of a button. I wasn't really looking for this feature, but it's nice nonetheless.
However, the sound coming from this hairdryer is incredibly loud and annoying. If I could, I would record and measure the decible level coming from this thing, and I know it would be uncomfortably high. Fortunately it's meant to be a travel hairdryer. I wouldn't use it on a daily basis in a small bathroom with the door closed, you'll probably experience hearing loss over time. I am guessing that the high, loud noise emanating from the dryer is a function of compact hairdryers as a whole. It's likely that the only way to avoid the excessive noise is to stick with regular-sized hairdryers.
So all in all, this hairdryer works well and is a decent value at the price I paid (a little more than a Hamilton). But the NOISE!
