Both hands are free to hold a hair brush or separate sections of hair. Less hot and more comfortable than standing (near moisture with a hair dryer) in front of the bathroom sink.
Small bathroom accumulated too much moisture after showers. Kept loosing its suction.
Dries hair very fast. Heat & 2 speed switches, which i prefer.
It's not a big and bulky dryer nor is it dinky and powerless. This is actually a repurchase. This dryer is lighter than my last one from john frida.
It also has a silky satin-feeling finish that makes for a nice (literal) touch. Little heavier than what i'm used to but has a nice feel and very sleek appearance.
Second purchase is same item as last one lasted about 4 yrs. She and i both look to amazon for trusted and honest reviews so i hope this is helpful to you!
Some reviewers seem to be expecting the quietness of soft loving mouth blows and exhales with the drying power of a jet engine. It is not too loud. It has power and dries my hair well.
The body of the dryer is too long, especially when the concentrator is attached. The high is so much that my hair gets tangled and the medium is not enough airflow. It's powerful and gets hot, but it's so loud and rackety.
