T3 Bespoke Labs 83808-SE Featherweight Professional Ionic Ceramic Tourmaline Hair Dryer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the T3 featherweight for my wife as a Christmas gift for my wife.She has extremely thick hair and drying it takes a very long time. After purchasing the T3 from an authorized dealer, I found the Good Housekeeping review that gave a favorable review of the Revlon Tourmaline Ionic. Since the Revlon is 1/10th the cost, I bought one at Target and gave both to my wife for Christmas.

I was hoping that she would find the Revlon comparable and we could save the expense of the T3.No such luck.She first used to T3 and found that it was much quieter than her current dryer and that it reduced the time it took to dry her hair by about 10 minutes.When she next used the Revlon, she ended up burning her hair and refuses to ever use it again.She's been using the T3 for about three weeks as remains very happy with it.

Being the more analytical one, I decided to do a scientific comparison between the two.Note that I only had one sample of each dryer and I didn't use calibrated instruments, so these observations are only useful in comparing the two samples that I had.

The first and most important difference concerned the temperature of the air exiting these two dryers while set for high output and hot temperature.The T3 held a fairly consistent temperature that most of the time fell between 190 and 210 degrees.Extremes fell between 180 and 230 degrees, but these were for only a second or two before the temperature returned to 200+/-10 degrees.

The Revlon was much less consistent.Its temperature continuously fluctuated between 130 and 235 degrees. Once I observed the temperature spike to almost 260 degrees.I must have been one of these spikes the burned my wife's hair.I took measurements over three different periods and noticed wide fluctuation during each one.Keep in mind that I only had one sample of each dryer so these problems may be caused by a defective unit and not indicative of the entire line.

Both dryers are very quiet compared to those that my wife has used in the past.The T3 ran at about 100 decibels at the intake and output ends and about 90 decibels on the side. From one foot away, the dryer ran from 78 to 84 decibels. The Revlon was a little louder, running about 105db at the ends to 90db on the side.From one foot, it in ranged from 82-89 decibels.These measurements were taken in our bathroom which has almost no sound absorption.

The Revlon did push out more air.On the high settings, the air exiting the Revlon had almost twice the force of that of the T3. On the low setting, T3 had about 75% of the force of the Revlon.

Bottom line:The Revlon had temperature problems and burned my wife's hair.If that could be fixed, it would be a great dryer as it's 1/10 the cost on the T3.But, right now, there's no way my wife is going to give up her T3.
