INFINITIPRO BY CONAIR Pro Performance Frizz Free Hair Dryer

I loved my Babyliss blow dryer, but it had a design flaw. The housing, between the handle and nozzle, where the motor is, was very round. When I set it down on the vanity, it would sometimes roll off and crash on the floor. Eventually the housing started cracking, so I started looking for a new dryer because I didn't want to shock myself or start a fire.I spent a long time shopping, comparing features and prices, before deciding to purchase the John Frieda JF1 Full Volume Hair Dryer. My two highest priorities were wattage and price. I don't want to spend a long time fussing with my hair, so I wanted power. And I didn't want to spend $150 or $200 because I'm not convinced that those dryers are any better than mid-priced ones.Power: It's possible to find a less expensive dryer with 1875 watts, but the reviews tend to be negative and less expensive dryers offer fewer features. This is mid-priced and has plenty of power.Price: Mid-level.Attachments: A concentrator with two openings, the one that attaches to the dryer, and one for outflow. A concentrator with four openings; this has vents on its sides and is my attachment of choice. I can direct flow to an area to dry and build volume, and begin styling, and a little bit of airflow is diverted. This makes it easier for me to control styling, and speeds the drying process vs the other concentrator. A diffuser. My hair is straight, and I rarely use a diffuser, but I've tried this one. My hair dries slower when I use it but WOW! does it build volume!Switches: Low, medium, and high heat. Off, low, and high speed. Cold shot button. High/high dries hair really fast. High/low is fantastic for styling while getting done fast.Cord: Non-retractable with GFCI feature. Where I live, building codes require appliances that draw heat to comply with GFCI. I do not wind the cord around the dryer. I have a space in my bathroom cabinet for storing the dryer, and just fold it a couple times. I've had no problems with the cord tangling or twisting.Dust vent: The dust vent stays on, but can be opened easily. There is an inner dust vent to further filter inflowing air. Good protection for the dryer, but not an obstacle in any way.Size/shape/weight/noise: A natural feeling grip, conical (not round) housing, not travel weight but not an arm breaker, loud. I expected loud with 1875 watts. If it matters to you, this dryer is a good-looking appliance.I've used this for two months every day. It performs flawlessly, and I'm very pleased to have found the features I want at a price point I find acceptable. I'm giving this the HB stamp of approval ;)

A great value for the price. I have been using this now for a few months and have no complaints. I confess that I bought it mainly to color coordinate with a matching John Frieda Curling Iron to go into a new StyleAway Curling Iron/Blow Dryer Holder, all bought on amazon for my bathroom when I remodeled! It looks as good as it works. The blow dryer is very stylish looking and the finish is holding up very well, it has a nice finish that doesn't look cheap. It has all the heat setting that I need, with a cool shot button that I do use with round brushing to set the curl. The blow dryer seems much more powerful than my previous dryer as my hair seems to dry much faster than with my old dryer. I have read some reviews complaining about the weight, however I don't find that to be a problem. Really, how much effort does it take to hold a blow dryer for a few minutes, even if it does weigh 1/2 # more? The sleek design is well worth any extra effort. Very happy with all my purchases! My bathroom looks great - neat and tidy with all my products color coordinated and organized together in the StyleAway, it all hangs conveniently from a towel bar next to my vanity. You will be happy with this blow dryer, especially if you get the matching curling iron.

This dryer BY FAR IS THE BEST EVER!!!! I have really long hair extensions and they take FOREVER to dry, and after reading the reviews for this dryer I decided to try it because they say drying in half the time.They weren't kidding, this dryer is AMAZING to say the least, I have never owned such a great product that is so inexpensive; so do yourself a favor, purchase this dryer, you wont be sorry, it is truly the best! Even on cool or medium speed this thing is magnificent! Some of the reviews comment on this dryer being heavy, I'll share a secret...cheap dryers are superlight weight, but in all sincerity, this dryer is not heavy at all, so not sure why some reviews say this. The button placement was an issue when I read the reviews but decided to try it for myself, and what I personally found was, where I place my hand is at the bottom anyways, so it was a non issue for me. It's totally worth trying because everyone is going to hold their dryer in a different spot anyways, and if I didn't purchase this based on what others said about weight and button placement, I would have missed out on the BEST DRYER EVER, and believe me, I have tried them all. And side note, it really does dry in half the time, which means an extra 20 mins in the morning hitting the snooze button ; )
