HOT TOOLS Professional 1875W Turbo Ceramic Rainbow Hair Dryer, 1 ct. | Lightweight, Fast Drying Blow Dryer with Quiet Operation and Ion Technology for Shinier Hair, 8 Ft Cord

Short of getting a Dyson hair dryer, I really wasn't sure what to get for my salon work. The requirements were that it had to actually get hot, it had to have an easy-to-use cold shot button, it had to have controls that I wouldn't accidentally change the setting of through normal handling, and it should be well enough made that I not have to get a new dryer every 6-12 months. After getting Amazon search blindness, I finally settled on the HOT TOOLS Professional 1875W Turbo Ceramic Rainbow Hair Dryer. Sure, the rainbow accent matches my shears, but what really drew me to this dryer was the brand. Hot Tools has been around a while, and I would expect this item to be fairly durable. It has a 7 year warranty, but I haven't really seen what that claim process looks like. As it is, the unit is lightweight, but feels like it has good build quality. The soft-touch/sueded texture feels nice to the touch, but may not wear well over time. The positioning of the temp and speed controls is great. While the cold shot button is placed really well, I wish it were kind of concave, instead of convex. The air gets sufficiently hot, and dries hair quickly. Oh, and I LOVE the rainbow trim. The dryer overall is gorgeous. At 8' the cord is great for a salon station, though it may be a bit much for a small bathroom. As far as the value proposition of this dryer goes, I think it's quite good. The unit works well, has good controls, and seems to be built to last. Sure, there are cheaper hair dryers, but how many of those do you need to buy before you realize that you should have just bought a better, more expensive one, in the first place? Highly recommended

I love this blow dryer! My blow dryer went caput right in the middle of me drying my hair. I bought three different blow dryers from Ulta before I decided to order this one on Amazon. I love that the air doesn't blow so hard that I can't even do soft styling. And the heat settings are amazing! I would definitely recommend this blow dryer for anyone who likes to round brush their hair

Revising my review- after following the troubleshooting options I was able to get the dryer to work. I don't usually write reviews but I needed to for this hair dryer. It worked great until it didn't, it stopped getting hot....no heat at all. of course it is right after the return window closed. I had another older version of this that lasted at least 10 years. I guess they don't make things like they use to. Super disappointed as this is not a cheap dryer.

Product works well but packaging wasn’t. I expected the product would be placed securely in an Amazon box for delivery given there’s no styrofoam or bubble wrap inside the product package. It was delivered in a thin plastic Amazon bag instead. The product package was somewhat damaged. The hair dryer seems to be ok.

I've had this unit a few weeks now, and it's the fanciest hair dryer I've ever had. I like that it is quieter - doesn't have a high pitched sound at all - and that it has medium and low heat settings (although the low setting is cool). Also appreciate the long cord, which gives me more range of movement while using. The dryer also has a 7 year warranty which, if true, makes this unit a good value over the long term.
