BUYER BEWARE!!!- do not buy this dryer
By regularguy71
I originally purchased this dryer for my wife as a gift after looking at several soft-bonnet hair dryers. My mother had one for years, so I figured if I bought one of the higher priced ones I could not go wrong....haha. According to my wife this dryer would dry okay if there was a secure way to attach the bonnet to the hose. However, what the picture doesn't show is that the flimsy apparatus for attaching the hose constantly falls out, forcing her to hold them together. I might as well put a plastic bag on her head and blow through a hole....The worse part of this whole fiasco came when we tried to return the dryer to BEAUTY SUPPLY 4LESS. We were given the run around until it was pointed out by the oh-so helpfull customer service people at BEAUTY SUPPLY 4LESS that their return policy only allows for exchanging the same item for the "damaged item". Unfortunately, this item was not damaged, it was designed wrong.In the end I had to glue the whole thing together, not cool after paying 40+ bucks for this thing....

I'll go back to buying vintage ones on Ebay
By S. Mcwalters
I had high hopes for this dryer, since my previous experiences with bonnet dryers were with ones from the 1960s and 70s that I found used. I've bought several old ones for around $6-$8 over the past several years, and have ended up giving some away to friends who liked them, and using others until they died. In general, I've been really happy with the performance of the old ones, but I figured getting one new could only be better. Wrong.I respect the opinion of the other person who wrote a review, but I have to differ on several points-- the dryer is neither particularly quiet nor powerful. True, it's quieter than a regular hair dryer, but the air output is absolutely lousy. Even on the highest setting, it can't fully inflate the bonnet, even after I made sure the plastic wasn't sticking to itself. I found because of the weak airflow, the front of my head gets getting absolutely NO air. The plastic is just flat against it. I've tried rearranging it, and finally have found that the only way to dry my hair on all sides is to rotate the bonnet regularly, defeating any "convenience" this product might have had.The other point I must disagree with is about the length of the tube. It's simply not long enough unless you're sitting up aginst the unit and not moving.Pros - Despite the fact that I overall don't care for this unit, there are some positive things about it. The cord, tube, and bonnet store inside the actual unit. The tube is sturdy. Also, the unit kicks out a decent amount of heat.Cons - Weak airflow and short tube. Not worth the price. Also, the dryer is not very tall, but has a really large footprint. It takes up about a square foot of space on my counter. It's larger than any of the even the clunkiest vintage dryers I've had.I highly recommend finding a vintage bonnet dryer in a thrift store or on Ebay. I've owned several, and have never been disappointed in the settings, airflow, or performance. Those things are workhorses, and they come with really neat "hatbox" type cases for storage. Plus they're so cheap that if you do get a bum unit, you can afford to replace it easily.

Works well
By XeeBee
Bought this dryer a couple weeks ago.So far it works surprisingly well. I have a very short hair cut so the bag is a bit loose on my head as I don't use curlers or other styling aids that may take up volume. However, the heat settings are very effective. In fact the highest setting tends to be too high and therefore I maintain the dryer on the medium setting. Otherwise, the dryer works very well and I have had no problems so far.
