Revlon 1875W Shine Boosting Hair Dryer | Easy Blowouts and Quantity

Excellent deal from a reputable brand
This was a good bang for the buck. I just needed something simple with a diffuser. This does the job, and soo much less frizz than my old machine! I also like the muti heat and blower options as well as the cooling button. The diffuser is simple but seems to do it’s job. I haven’t done any styling with it, just simple drying for body and so I don’t get sick while going in the cold. Will update if it stops working or malfunctions.

Best Hair Dryer I’ve found
I rated this hair dryer as 3-star (or Ambivalent) because of the phrase used for the query. The hair dryer I bought before this was unusable for me because it blew too strongly. On “low” it tangled my hair like driving around in a convertible without a hair-tie or scarf. It tangled my hair even when holding the ends of my hair! (I don’t understand how that is even possible!) The tangles were so frustrating that I retreated to the same exact model as my one before that – RV484.My 2023 RV484 blows significantly weaker than the Conair (also 1875 watts) – which I desperately needed. So, although the Revlon RV484 has “less drying power” than some hair dryers out there, that is a good thing because it doesn’t ruin my hair. If the statistic was worded differently I could rate it as I believe it deserves as “best at drying hair”.Works as nicely as my original (2012) RV484 – which has a metal shell with purple trim (that is: purple where this one is black & actual metal where this one is white). I am still using the 2012 unit at the vacation home. It is a little weaker now that it is so old – took 50% (a full two minutes) longer to dry my hair last week than with the 2023 unit.I’ve specified in this review that I refer to the 2023 RV484 because I notice that the one currently sold on this page has a white & black plastic shell. My 2023 unit has silver-colored plastic where this one has white.I almost always use with the ion switch turned on. I don’t know if that switch does anything because I never notice a difference in brittleness nor shine when I go a few times with the switch accidentally off. However, the Conair I mentioned, the one I dubbed Stormy, claimed to be ionic 100% of the time (no switch) and left my hair awfully brittle. Just one drying with RV484 and all that brittleness = gone. Therefore, I believe that while the switch might not turn anything on or off, the RV484 definitely creates ions & expels them into the stream of warmed air while Stormy did not.Anyway, RV484 is a great hair dryer. I would not rate it high for travel nor for being lightweight. I don’t pack it in my luggage. It is definitely not as heavy as a salon hair dryer, but it is the heaviest I’ve owned since the 1970s. It does a much better job than the antiques & foldables.Probably I should give context that I have a LOT of stick-straight (except on very humid days), very skinny (aka: fine) hair. (My whole head ponytail is only 1.25-inches diameter.) I dry on medium heat hoping to reduce cuticle damage. My normal – no round brush – at-home blow out takes about 4 minutes while my hair is about 16-17 inches long. If you have thick hair – like my friend who cooked my foldable traveler with the lovely retractable cord – you’ll want to know that my easy-dry hair is why Stormy was too much for me.If you’ve bought a hair dryer in the past that was too much for you: 1875 watts is how much electricity the motor draws from your outlet. 1875 watts is not related to the speed nor temperature the dryer is going to throw at your hair. I should have known based on the words, but I didn’t figure it all out until Stormy.(Stormy moved to my nephew’s art studio & is used for drying paint and other creations. Everyone is relieved.)

Lightweight, 3 heat & 2 air flow, ion on off switch, great
Needed lighter hairdryer. Arthritis in both thumbs. This is great for my needs & has every option I wanted. Has 3 heat settings: cool, low, hot and has 2 air flow: low & high. Also has “Ion” switch to turn on/off. Also has “cool shot button you hold down and release as wanted but there’s also a “constant” cool setting.Also has screen cover on rear that twists off to remove for cleaning dust. Keeps motor clean and lasts longer if clean periodically. It’s white with black push up/down selection buttons and black print so it’s easy to read. The ion on/off switch is on top and is a small button to push left/right. The buttons are not hard to push on/off but do require a small amount of pressure. For thumb arthritis it’s ok. The cord is long enough for basic needs and has the “fuse” trip button on plug (if it gets too hot or button gets pushed by accident on cord plug brick it will automatically NOT turn on as a safety feature to keep from overheating. All you need to do is push the button on the plug brick to reset and it should work fine. Very happy with it and highly recommend. Also seems well made. Not junk!!

Great while it lasted
Workers great for the first week I had it. Then the sliding switch for the speed settings got stuck in the low setting. I lived with it for awhile because I didn’t mind the low setting, but on days I’m in a rush, the low setting would take too long to dry my hair. It’s officially been 1 year and 1 month since I’ve had this hair dryer and now it completely died.

Lo que buscaba era poder secar el cabello de mi hija después del baño y considero que hace su trabajo me gusta que tiene varias velocidades y temperaturas. Buen producto hasta ahora. El empaque llegó roto, como navajeado pero el producto estaba en buen estado.

This works well and dries your long hair in no time. seems it will last a long time. i use it every day and im sure i get moneys worth with this one.:) great for all types of hair. i have curly hair and some days straight and works well both ways. i had a perm. and some days i want it straight this works well straightening your hair without a hair straightener. with this you use a brush to blow dry your hair staight and doesnt flatten your hair either as straighteners do. 🙂 works well for me! great or the price too
