Conair 157P Folding Handle Ceramic Dryer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've just ordered my 4th one of these. The same model used to be in stores, blue in color, and did not come with the curl/finger attachment. When I couldn't find it anymore I went on an internet search, and found what I thought was "close." Imagine my jubilation when I opened the box and found it was the SAME good old dryer, only red!

What I like:
-It's smaller than most dryers, and it folds, so it fits in a small drawer AND it's great for travel.
-It's plenty powerful with 1875 watts.
-It has dual voltage so it can go around the world. (You have to turn the screw-type indicator using a tool or a dime, and then you need a plug adapter but no voltage converter.)
-It's much quieter than any other dryer I can find with all the other good things.NOT silent, mind you, but MUCH quieter.

There's nothing I don't like but I'd like to address others' complaints:
1. The buzz: my 2nd one started buzzing after I'd had it for a couple of years.It scared me at first (didn't know if it was shorting out or what) but seemed not to be harmful. So I continued to use it while I searched for a replacement. That's when I discovered I couldn't find the same dryer any more and then found it here. So I guess a few of them will buzz eventually. If it buzzed out of the box, I'd return it.
2. Short life: not mine, they've all lasted several years. The one that croaked after a month must have been built on a Monday? Conair is a fairly reliable brand and I doubt this happens to a significant % of units.
3. It's not "ionic." I had one of those alleged ionic ones before, and I didn't see one bit of difference. I'll take the quiet over the ionic any day. My hunch is that "ionic" doesn't really do anything and it mostly marketing hype. But that's just my opinion!
