I'm so pleased with this hair dryer because it is not too loud and not too heavy and clumsy. Also it is not as expensive as the ones sold at the beauty supply stores. This dryer dries my hair so much faster than my old dryer and I really love the bright clean red color. The only drawback I have is that the grated vent gets blanketed in dust and needs to be cleaned very quickly. But its pretty simple to use a hair brush to brush it clean.
