Conair Infiniti Pro Styling Tool
This is a nice hair dryer.
It is significantly more powerful than the current model my wife was
using. The volume of air seems to be 30%
to 50% greater. I did clean the lint out
of the old one to insure I was getting a fair comparison. The dryer has a five year warranty although
they want you to include $5.00 if you send it to them for warranty repair. In general,
I find that policy of requiring the customer to pay for shipping and
handling on warranty repairs repugnant.
Not just Conair but any company that does that.
I did not find the dryer significantly quieter than the
dryer currently in use. I plugged the
dryers in side by side and my decidedly subjective sound test determined that
there was not a significant difference in noise level between the old dryer and
this dryer. Although in all fairness
the current dryer was purchased primarily because it was supposed to be
significantly quieter than normal.
Personally I find all of them grossly loud but being bald I don't need to suffer through that
inconvenience.
Engineering wise, the brushless motor should provide
longevity. The casing seems much more
durable than the current hair dryer.
That casing may be the reason it did not seem any lighter than the
claimed 18% decreased weight from a conventional AC motor hair dryer that
Conair claims. The old dryer feels much
flimsier than this unit.
This dryer appears to offer greater durability and a higher
air flow than my wife's older (approximately 1 year) dryer. Although pricey the durability factor may offset the higher cost. The Amazon link below gives a lot more detail on the product.

If reviewing a product, it may have been received free of charge. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
