Elchim Basic 2001 Excessive Strain Hair Dryer – 1875 Watt Fast Dry Skilled Salon Blow Dryer

Works as advertised
I am giving this dryer five stars because it does what it says it will. So many products don’t, so this is a relief. After reading all of the reviews, I expected two key things. One, that the dryer would malfunction in some way (flames flying out of it, wires in the cord breaking, etc) and two, that my hair would be dry in no time at all. So far, so good on the malfunction issue. I’m not living in fear of my dryer. To help the cord life, I attached a larger loop to the dryer so I could safely hang it on a hook (the loop hole on the dryer was too small for my hook). As far as my hair drying at warp speed, the jury is still out. My husband mentioned that he thinks he can dry our daughter’s hair faster, so maybe it does. Personally, I don’t see much difference in dry time from this expensive one to my BJ’s cheapo purchase a few years ago. It’s not a significant enough difference to justify the cost.I’m keeping this dryer for two reasons. First, it’s hard to find the speed and heat combinations that this one has. I can use a warm/hot setting for my kids that won’t burn their delicate skin (2 and 4 years old) and a hot/hot setting for me to dry my medium length, thick hair as fast as I can. In either case, I can use a “low blow” setting or a “high blow” setting (such technical terms I have) so I can not only control the speed at which I dry, but also the level of noise output. That brings me to my second reason for keeping it. LOW NOISE LEVEL. The is the quietest dryer I’ve ever owned and the key reason I’m keeping it. I can finally dry my hair before I go to bed at night, without fear of waking the entire household. And if I use the “low blow” setting on hot heat, I can get my hair totally dry with very little noise. For me, that’s worth the cost!Mine came in black, which is what I ordered. I got two filters for the back of it (I don’t know why though) and the nozzle that concentrates the heat to one area. I don’t use that, but I found that my old diffuser fits over this dryer and I use that quite often. I would say my hair dries much faster with the diffuser over the top.Some reviewers said the dryer is too heavy. I’m 5’1″ and I don’t work out (unless running after my kids counts), so I was concerned about this fact. I dry my hair pretty much daily, so weight isn’t a small concern over time. But, it’s not a problem. In fact, it’s slightly lighter than my last dryer, so I’m happy!Overall, I would recommend this dryer to others and I would purchase it again in the future.
