Pros: Very quiet, defrizzes hair
Cons: None

My fourteen-year-old daughter needed a new blow dryer as hers was become quite finicky after five years of use. So, for Christmas I decided to get one for her. I went online (of course!) and ended up at drugstore.com. My daughters had mentioned ion blow...

Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Works bad.

$20 may not seem like much money. But in reality it is a lot—especially when you spend that money on a product you expect to last for three, four, or maybe five years and in the end it survives for less than one. After my second uber-powerful Revl ...

Pros: Dries hair quickly, ions work!, easy to use, 2 heat settings, cool shot button
Cons: Brief instruction book does not detail all the features.

I love the reliability of Conair hair dryers. My old Conair, which I owned for about 10 years, finally went to that great hair salon in the sky. One day the heating coil failed. After researching the various models, I chose a Conair Ion Shine 1875 ...

Pros: Quiet dryer and ion shine really seems to work.
Cons: The controls are cumbersome.

I bought the Conair Ion Shine dryer (on sale through Drugstore.com) when my daughter swiped my old dryer. I bought it because it advertised the reduced frizziness of the ion shine feature and the quietness of dryer.

Ionic dryers are supposed...

Pros: Works very well.
Cons: None that I can find.

For quite a few months now, I have been experiencing bad hair days everyday. At first I thought it’s the humidity, then I was thinking it has to be the shampoo I am using. The shampoo has to be extra cleansing because my husband uses it too. He gets a ...

Pros: Quiet fan, ionizing feature works as stated, vent flips up for easy lint cleaning
Cons: Decreased air flow, holds heat in hair, makes hair flat

Mr. Trusty, the 12-year-old blow dryer, has died. I was very attached to him, but one has to move on. So it was off to WalMart for a new one. I decided I’d stick with a ConAir, since in the past 20 years I’ve owned 3 dryers… all ...

Pros: Conditions as it dries, Less drying time
Cons: None found

With so many different hair care products on the market these days and more appearing every day, it ...

Pros: Quiet motor, 1875 watts dryer power, lightweight full sized dryer
Cons: None that I have discovered yet

I am of the nature that smaller and lighter is better and easier to use. My previous 3 hairdryers have been the small handheld, compact style models, including a Conair.

Anyway, my hairdryer one day suddenly quit. I gave it to my "handyman"...

Pros: Reduces frizzies and quieter
Cons: Switches easliy turned off while drying hair

I have been in the market for a new blow dryer and was comparing them when I was at a local Walmart. I had seen the dryers talking about the ions and how they made your hair more manageable by eliminating the frizzies and static cling. Since there was ...

Pros: Looks good.
Cons: Button placement is awful, loud, still have frizzies.

I have wavy hair that I always blow out straight. In order to do this effectively, I need a great dryer that comes with a concentrator attachment. When my old reliable blew out I was on the hunt for a replacement. I headed over to my local Target and ...

Pros: Power, Focus Nozzle, Makes Hair Sleek
Cons: Control Placement, Can't fit a diffuser

I am not sure if the ions have anything to do with it, but I think this hair dryer works great. I have a ton of straight hair with fine texture. I went to a local beauty chain Ulta, and asked for advice and this is what they recommended for my hair type, ...

Pros: Quiet operation; gentle, thorough drying; removeable washable dust filter.
Cons: The power and ion switches are a tad touchy.

As a child of the Sixties, I still wear my hair long and I blow it dry every morning. When my old Hartman Protech 1600 hair dryer hit the bathroom floor, things weren't the same. Eventually, in a spectacular pyrotechnic display, it breathed its last. ...

Pros: Pretty, Sturdy, Ions
Cons: Noise but it's not bad...just not whisper quiet

After having the same hair dryer for the last five years, I finally broke down and got a new one. The old Conair was very basic and the vent was so clogged up with lint that it no longer had 2 speeds....just "so hot you fry your hair" speed. So off ...

Pros: Produces a lot of hot wind when It's working properly.
Cons: Hair enters and gets tangled in the fan. Ion generator stops working.

This is my review of the Ion Shine. I am going to point out two reliability problems with the Ion Shine. I was recently handed a Conair Ion Shine 1875 blow drier for repair. This drier is 1 year and 3 months old. This reveiw is based on my repair ...

Pros: Faster drying, stylish look
Cons: Short cord, switch placement

This dryer dries my hair faster than any dryer I've owned. I generally use the straightening attach ...
