Styling A Smooth Look
Comment:
This is the origianl T3. I bought this dryer a couple of years ago. I didnt notice a huge cut in dry time, but did see a different in less frizz and better styling. its made for salons, not everyday folk. If you are blow drying challenged-this is not for you. it takes time, but it's worth the work if you can us styling tools properly. I have a knack for that, so I love it.<br /> I prefer the lower air pressure/ flo because it keep frizz way down, even on HI heat. They have a NEW version T3 I just bought in fall '12. Airflow is much more powerful and dry time decreased, but more frizz is inevitible. It's a trade off, but i find myself using newer version more frequently. it's better for hair dryer challenged folks and faster dry time. be prepared for frizz;-0

Cant Control Heat Setting

Comment:
I love the weight of this hair dryer and it is very easy to use. It also appears to control my fly aways a little better. But there is only one heat setting and it gets VERY hot - it makes my scalp feel like I've burned it. Because of that, I am switching to another hair dryer.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very Disappointing - Safety Issues

Pros

Comment:
I bought this hairdryer because of its features, especially the low noise and its light weight. It was quite an investment financially so I had high expectations. It also came with a great warranty which I had not seen with other products.<br /><br />The problem I had with this product was not its failure to meet its claims; the problem had to do with the quality of its construction and safety. The units kept short-circuiting. I had to return the product to the salon three times within six months of using it; each time, they gave me a replacement unit and each of them short-circuited; one of them short-circuited in as little as a couple weeks after I got a replacement.<br /><br />By the time I returned my third unit, the salon told me they no longer carried the product and I would have to contact the company that marketed/distributed the product. By this time, I could not locate my original purchase receipt and I'm still debating about contacting the head company for resolution or just considering the whole matter an expensive lesson learned.
How long have you owned it:
Three-to-six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
