I believe the chemicals in hair spray and other products break down the rubber over time. I keep my hands clean and the rubber remains perfect. I love the dryer.

I've had mine about a year and the handle is starting to peel, but not sticky... Yet

I had that issue with my old hot tools dryer, and have had this version for about 9 months and I have yet to have that issue. Hopefully it doesn't happen, because I LOVE this dryer!!

I have put it in the dryer one time after washing but it takes a while to dry. Now I just take it to the dry cleaners and have them take care of it. To me it is worth the 20 dollars to get it dry cleaned.

Earl, Since I have not experienced a sticky" handle, thankfully, I am unable to offer a solution. However, my opener gradually lost power so I replaced it with another brand.

No haven't had mine quite that long. BUT if you haven't taken it apart and cleaned it i would. Sometimes the gas bulbs/whip cream can leave residue and buildup. Might be causing the handle to stick open. If you can't fix it just learn to love lots of whipped cream :P

it's the rubber washer, it's a hard rubber. I had a slight issue at extreme bends. just go to lowes and bring the old washer. tell them you want a softer rubber. mine is orange.

Pull on the handle and hair dryer at the same time. It's a bit stiff at first and you think it will break but then it goes smoothly. I love the hair dryer and me and my husband could not figure it out either so just did it and it's great. Enjoy

Not really; I washed mine and the filling in the comforter has been kinda funky and some what mis-shaped since! Wish I hadn't done that one!

I will tell you that this dryer broke on me in less than 3 months- and I only use a hair dryer about once a week. It was bought to replace a Conair that I had had more than a decade before it bit the dust. Might have been a fluke, but the EVA one I got to replace it has a much heavier feel and a thicker electric cord. I've only had it about a week though so I can't attest to its longevity yet.

Hi Larisa, Just like all styler dryers I've used it does get a bit hot to the touch. I've never found it to be a real problem as long as you're careful. I have very short hair so I have to be a bit more careful but as I said its not been too bad. For me it's still the best styler dryer I've ever found. Hope this helps you.

I agree with you Carole about heating it up in microwave & washing. I am going to wash on delicate and air dry. I will let you know how it turns out.Thanks for the suggestion.Washed in washing machine on hand washable with Woolite. I added a towel so it wouldn't bounce around so much. Turned out clean and I am air drying, taking awhile but so worth it!

It does for me, but... Sometimes they ball up so i just have to take them out and rearrange them a little. I restart the dryer and they come out fine. I even put my thick comforter in there:-)

Never had a problem. Careful to open up and dry in house after each use. Feels like hard rubber or hard vinyl, but I have no clue as to actual composition.

I washed it in my washing machine, let it soak a bit to try to get out the strong rubber odor. Then I let it air dry. It helped a lot!

Heavy plastic handle and tip.....I set it on a dry washcloth. No problem. Love this dryer!!

I don't even use the attachments. I still dry the old fashioned way - a brush in one hand, the dryer in the other. I did notice that the brush bristles did seem to feel pretty soft, though.
