I enjoy using mine very much. It dries my hair about 10 - 15 min.Lucille Kong - 10/1/14

I love mine. I have thick curly hair that takes hours and hours to dry naturally. This dries my hair in 10-15 min and does not frizz it out. Go for it.

I LOVE my Babyliss! I'm on my second one and the first one lasted quite a long time. Just used it this morning, in fact. It is a little hard to get the very bottom of your hair if you have longer hair (I just sit forward a bit so it hits the bottom of my hair once the rest is finished), and you have to be careful with the "cuff" where the dryer connects to the pole (that is where my last one cracked, which eventually did it in). Otherwise, this dryer is GREAT and it is good for your hair and even better for curls that you don't want mussed. I only wish I could take it on vacation with me! I LOVE my Babyliss!

Totally worth it!! Should have gotten this sooner, my 2 girls and I use it before curly or straight styles. Everyone has notice a difference in our hair more shine less frizz.

I would NOT buy the conditioning dryer whisper light from Go Gorgeous. I would not buy ANYTHING from Go Gorgeous. The dryer broke within 3 months (and i don't even use it everyday and when I do, for no more than 4 minutes) and Go Gorgeous wouldn't do anything for the defective device.

Honestly that is hard to say. I really couldn't recall if my previous hair dryer was of a higher/lower wattage. All I can say is that this is a pretty average hair dryer. Meets basic needs, I have had mine forever and it has lasted. The diffuser attachment for curls isn't great though. It is too open and not enclosed enough so I had to buy a separate attachment. Not sure if you want to use this attachment.

The dryer takes 2000 watts. I don't know what the conversion is- but this is the best dryer out there!

Hi Kate, I purchase this item for my daughter who makes alot of dryer items for the grandkids. I can ask her next time I see her. Sorry I don't have the answer now

It is, and honestly, if you haven't purchased it, don't....I'm going to get the regular one as soon as I have a little extra to splurge. This one is sub par, and keeps turning off while drying because of the switch location. Which would be amusing, if I didn't have long hair and a job. Also, I realize it's not as strong(wattage) but basically, this is equivilant to a drugstore blowdryer.

way better! No hand held blow dryer has this much power and the attachments. The heat is pretty hot (but won't burn) or you can use just the air which is slightly warmer than your room temperature. WORKS GREAT AND FAST!!!!!

I don't work for the company, just commenting as another customer. The hair dryer might be the issue. Even small ones are 600+ watts.

Could you provide a 'diagram'???I also have EE background - would like to try metering my clothes dryer(220VAC).BTW - do you have a recommendation for a 'whole house' WAM?? preferably with logging, USB capabilityRegards,WT

My dryer is called 1875 Ion Select. In case it's the same, I would estimate it is at least 2 lbs and is a little heavier than some I've tried. However, it dries quickly and it also has an on off switch, so you don't have to unplug it after each use.

i installed it and my dryer worked for about a month, just fine. then my husband was using it and said he saw sparks. and we havent used it since and i'm just going to replace it. Are the problems related? Sorry can't say. it fit fine and did heated fine also. Sorry i couldn't be be more helpful.

I have the PEBCO pro tools 2900. Cost around $220. It works really well. Dries my hair completely in 1 hour. That has never happened when I've used any other drier at home. It has always taken 1 1/2 to 2 hrs depending on the drier and I've had many.

I have thick hair as well. I have travelled with an 1875 watt before to Italy and idid well. I found the dryer stronger in europe than here. Could just be my house

Not recommended. Women's blow dryer require more than 1000W to operate with heat on. The good ones are on the 2000W range. Once you start blowing with heat you will eventually burn the fuse. You have to use a step up transformer with the appropriate rating. Unfortunately, any step up transformer of 1000W and above I have seen are massive (like 10lbs). By chance I have one 1000W and another 1500W. I use the second for my European expresso machine and works fine. I tried one 1850W blow dryer on both and the difference is noticeable and even in the big one it is not like it used to be in Singapore @ 220V outlet. Bottom line: It is cheaper and easier to have a second 110V blow dryer. Not recommended. Women's blow dryer require more than 1000W to operate with heat on. The good ones are on the 2000W range.

Mine was. It's not my favorite dryer. My hairdresser uses it and loves it but I thought it would be hotter. I kept it and keep it in my gym bag or use it if I need a spare.

Boy I bought that dryer over 2 years ago. And it still awesome! It dries my hair so fast! I think I got it for about $86 on Amazon.
