MUST BUY ASAP!
Dudeâ¦..bruhâ¦..this blow dryer is FUE-GO! ð¥I highly recommend if you want a sufficient blow dryer that measures up (or in my opinion BEATS) the dyson blow dryer!And itâs affordable, comparing to the dyson. Super SUPER lightweight and easy to handle. The tips are interchangeable and magnetic! Easy for switchingDrying is super fast and it gets hot very quickly. Now the system of the power and adjusting the heat has a learning curve but after a few uses, it becomes easy.I love the fact that it has the self cleaning system for the filter. It scared me at first because I thought i broke because it was cleaning for a while but it just does that.Itâs even fun to show off to clients because it just feels so fancyIf youâre a barber looking to upgrade your blow dryer to the next level, this is the one yall! You wont break the bank and youâll get a lot out of it.(I have dropped it 3-4 times by this time, because Iâm a klutz, and I was worried every time because itâs like a hard plastic but nothing has changed its performance or appearance.)

This thing has some power to it!
3 attachments! Tons of power! Light and quiet! This thing is a win!I had no idea Wahl made anything but clippers so when I saw this I had to try it. Realistically I thought this could go either way and it was a total win for me!- This comes with three attachments two concentrators and a diffuser. All three of the attachments are magnetic and very easy to click on and off.- This is super lightweight and easy to hold.- Itâs quiet (as quiet as a blow dryer can be) thanks to what I suspect is one of the newer style brushless motors that they add into dryers anymore. There are some other blow dryers have a tendency to whine thanks to the brushless motors but I didnât notice that with this one. The pitch didnât bother my ears at all.- As a left handed person I often find that buttons tend to be designed for right handed people and thus Iâm usually accidentally hitting them since my dominant hand is reversed from the better part of the population. That did not happen to me with this dryer I didnât ever at any point accidentally hit a button I didnât mean to.- The attachments are magnetic and while initially, I thought maybe it wasnât a very strong hold I was wrong and the magnets are plenty strong enough. Looking at them you canât tell theyâre magnetic if youâve ever had a blow dryer with magnetic attachments. These look slightly different. I believe the magnets are recessed so that there is a firmer connection to the dryer itself.- The air intake is at the back of the dryer head and not the handle so if you were looking for a blow dryer with the air intake in the handle because you have a tendency to get your hair caught in the ones that pull from the back of the dryer head, this might not be a dryer for you. But I didnât find that to be a problem. Iâve been using the handle air intake the handle style for several years now and transitioning to this one did not in anyway cause a problem.- while Iâve not used this in a professional capacity. I will say it does seem light enough that extended periods of use throughout the day wouldnât cause too much shoulder fatigue for a professional or your average every day person when theyâre doing their at home blowout.- This has three wind speeds and if youâve never had three, I suggest you transition to only ever have three because itâs delightful.- And what itâs calling four heat settings but what realistically is three heat settings and a cool shot. The cool shot has a setting in the device as well as a dedicated button if youâre just looking to use it for a quick style setting option and not needing to actually change the temperature of the device long-term. The cool shot is exactly that it is quite cool and cool off very quickly. Itâs not just lukewarm air as I have run into in other dryers Iâve tried.- Thereâs a hanging loop and Velcro cable management tie included, and the cord is plenty long enough for both home and in my opinion professional use. The fact that a cable management tie and a hanging loop are included with this is a delightful little touch that I find is often overlooked even in some of your very high-end devices.- As for blow drying my hair, I donât happen to have curls or frizz for the most part so my hair drying session is usually a very straightforward high heat high wind speed dry with a cool shot at the end to try and give it some volume/lift at the root that I know will not last, but I try in vain anyway. When I was drying my hair, I found I actually didnât need the high windspeed, medium with plenty enough and when attempting to smooth and blow out my hair, the low wind speed/ high heat, then setting with a cool shot button being used is exactly what I needed to achieve the look I wanted.- This was able to dry my hair very quickly with a minimum amount of fuss. The two different concentrators that are included in this set are designed for different purposes, but either one could accomplish the same goal although having both of them included is a very nice touch, especially at the higher price point of this dryer.- The filter cover on the back is very easily so you can easily maintain the dryer without having to fiddle with hard to reach areas. The cover itself is not magnetic just so youâre aware you do have to twist and pull to remove it, then realign it in the right location push and twist to put it back. Itâs very easy to do.- While this is a more pistol group design blow dryer I will say that I think itâs small enough to easily travel with a professional if they weâre looking for something to use for on the road job. This would probably be a good investment in your business.Over all I really liked this little blow dryer. I will definitely be recommending it to others and was pleasantly surprised with what Wahl was able to accomplish while stepping out of their usual hair clippers comfort zone. I canât wait to see what they come up with in the future.

Really Nice, Light Dryer with Strong Airflow, Excellent Nozzles, and Well Placed Controls
I am very pleased with this Wahl Professional Vanquish Hair Dryer. It rivals another much more expensive professional dryer that I currently use and is LIGHTER and easier to control the airflow.This dryer has an air flow opening that is a smaller diameter, which gives me much better control over the very strong air flow. Add a nozzle, and that even further refines the air. The smaller nozzle is the one you are most likely to use when drying with a brush, while the wider nozzle is better for finger drying as it is wider than most brushes and you will lose hair off the brush if you are not very careful. The nozzles and the diffuser attach securely with strong magnets. I carelessly pulled the nozzle off the first time I used it, but it was not hot enough to burn me. Better to wait a moment or use a glove, though.The cord on this is long enough to be used professionally, and for drying your own hair at various angles far from an outlet.The controls include three temperature settings, indicated by the red lights. The maximum heat gets quite warm and will tame even the wooliest hair. The air flow also has three speeds, using green lights to indicate the level. Those controls are on one side of the handle. On the other is the cold shot button. The on/off switch is directly under the filter (back) part and is well placed to avoid turning on/off inadvertently. The handle itself is one of the few I have used recently that is comfortable in my small hand. I don’t think it is designed for small hands; I think it is adaptable to small hands as well as average. And to repeat, this is quite light, but not flimsy. FYI this wall measures 4-1/4 inches circumference, while my other dryer measures 4-3/4. The 1/2 inch makes a difference!The dryer is quiet enough that you will not have to yell over the air if talking to a client (or your husband). The filter is easy on/off. The entire dryer feels balanced. My only complaint (very minor) is that if I am using a brush in my right hand and the dryer in the left, it is slightly harder to turn off with my thumb. I am already starting to adapt, and because it is smaller, it will work once I get used to it.Do I recommend this for both salon and home use? Yes, I do. This is a well-designed dryer by a company with a good reputation in the industry. The price is in line with the quality, in my opinion. I hope this will have a long life because it is not often that I find a dryer that fits all my needs.

I am very pleasant to test this Wahl Vanquish hair dryer, which is definitely a winner when it comes to styling, and itâs easy to see why. This little powerhouse packs an impressive punch, delivering three levels of blowing power that rival any top brand out there. Even at the lowest setting, itâs more than enough for a quick dry, but the top settingâmy wifeâs favoriteâdries hair in record time with a strong, steady airflow that doesnât miss a beat. It is also relatively quiet compared to the mainstream hair drying products on the market.There are also three heat levels, plus a refreshing full cool-air option. Itâs perfect for anyone who wants to control their styling and hair health with precision. But the real surprise? How compact and lightweight it is! This dryer is very small comparing to its competitors, it almost feels like itâs defying physics by being this powerful. Itâs a dream for travel and for anyone who doesnât want an arm workout just from drying their hair.Then there are the magnetic styling attachmentsâthree of themâthat snap on and off with ease, letting the user experiment with styles and volume without any hassle. From the quality of the build to the professional-grade performance, the Wahl Vanquish has really raised my expectations for what a great hair dryer should be.

This hair dryer has a sleek, compact design and is lightweight. The cord is quite long and has a flexible base, which is handy for far away outlets. It runs very smoothly, and I am impressed at how much quieter it is than my regular hairdryer. The powerful airflow dries my hair faster, and the ionic technology leaves it looking shiny, static, and frizz free. The LED screen displays the heat and speed settings, which allow you to customize different styling options. The magnetic attachments and auto-clean function are neat features, and add to the premium feel of this digital hairdryer. I am really pleased with the overall quality!
Customer Review –
I have been using hair products for a while now since I enjoy styling my hair. A hair dryer is a must for volume and styling. There are many well-known brands like Conair, particularly in this case WAHL, which is a century old. I just loved the packaging of this unit, and it just gives off a premium feel, which it should since it’s $250. I never had a hairdryer this expensive before. My old hair dryer needed an upgrade, especially since it does not have a GFCI adapter on it, lacked attachments, was quite noisy in the morning, lacked blowing power, and was overall inefficient.My first impressions of this new hair dryer are that itâs quite light to hold and grip. The build quality is not the greatest since itâs all plastic, especially the intake grille cover, which is quite creaky and squeaky. The buttons feel solid and clicky, which I like. The GFCI outlet is not compact and will cover the second outlet. Upon searching the number on the adapter E256185, it says it is UL certified. The test and reset buttons work as they should.Turning the hair dryer on, it spools up quickly and sounds like a jet engine, but way quieter than my old hair dryer. It heats up really quickly and cools down very quickly with a press of a button. It has a strong blowing force to it since itâs more focused than my old one, which had a wider diameter and no narrow channels. The attachments give it more practicality for styling since they easily snap on thanks to the magnetic design and overall feel sturdy. Different attachments give different levels of focus, suiting your needs. Itâs easy to store everything in my drawer and clean the air filter at the back by twisting off the cover.Overall, I think this is a good hair dryer from a well-known company, but they should work on the build quality to feel even more premium.

This is an excellent quality Wahl hair dryer that has many features and is a great tool for anyone. The dryer works quickly to dry hair with plenty of air movement capacity. The dryer has many speed and temperature settings to use with any hairstyle. The ionic feature keeps hair smooth with less frizz.The product is constructed with high quality and is built to last. The plastics used are premium feeling and the dryer and the included accessories seem to be very durable. The dryer is heavier then average however it also has a superior motor and internals.The three included accessories (diffuser, narrow nozzle, and wide nozzle) are magnetic and are easy to get on and off the dryer quickly.The auto clean function helps keep dust and dirt out of the device motor area and is useful to help with regular maintenance of the appliance.There is an LCD display to show any of the three speed settings or four heat settings that are selected.Overall this is a great quality product that works to achieve any hairstyle.

I recently tried the Wahl Vanquish Hair Dryer, and I must say, itâs been a game-changer for my daily hair routine. The lightweight design makes it super comfortable to hold, especially for longer drying sessions. The BLDC motor is incredibly powerful yet quiet, which is a huge plus for those of us who donât want a noisy dryer disrupting the peace. The ionic function is also a standout featureâit helps reduce frizz and leaves my hair feeling smooth and shiny, which I really appreciate as I have coarse hair that tends to get frizzy.The LED screen is a nice touch too. It clearly displays the settings for heat and speed, which makes it easy to adjust the dryer to my preference. I also love the three attachments that come with the hair dryer. The concentrator nozzle is perfect for styling, while the diffuser helps me get more volume when Iâm air-drying my hair. The third attachment works great for general drying, allowing me to switch things up based on my needs.Overall, the Wahl Vanquish Hair Dryer is a great option for anyone looking for a high-quality, versatile dryer that works well on all hair types. Whether you have fine, thick, or curly hair, it does an excellent job of drying fast while maintaining the health and shine of your hair. Iâm very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend it to others looking to upgrade their hair care routine.
