Because wet hair holds most of its moisture in its inner layers, too much heat from a hair dryer can seal the wetness in, actually making it harder to dry. This full-size hair dryer with its 1875-watt motor generates high-powered air flow so less heat is needed--meaning less drying damage. In addition, five ionic ports release negative ions into the flow, which help counteract static and frizz. Three heat settings and two speeds give excellent styling control, while a cool shot button helps set the desired style in place. An air concentrator with intake vents snaps on the front for precision drying, and the six-foot cord with hang loop allows good maneuverability. The air intake grills wipe clean to prevent dust from clogging the motor, thereby adding to the life of the dryer. Although the hair dryer is on the heavy side, it is actually quieter than some smaller models. Remington covers the dryer with a two-year warranty against defects.--Ann Bieri

Customer Rating: Summary: BLEW UP WHILE I WAS BLOW DRYING MY HAIR!!!!! Comment: I am so freaked out by this blow dryer. I have had this I'll say less than 3 years I bought it from a retail store in town. I have had no trouble with the blowdryer and it did a good job of over all drying and spot drying with a brush to give me a flip. Today when I was drying I heard a loud crack and saw a flash and smelled like an electrical burning smell. I immediately dropped the dryer to see that the cord had dislocated from the dryer it's self!!!!!! I am not buying anymore Remington products. You've been warned!!! Customer Rating: Summary: Up in smoke Comment: After one year of light use this hairdryer literally went up in smoke today. It started to make more noise than normal and a few seconds later smoke was pouring out of it. Beyond the fireworks, this unit was bigger and noisier than I expected. It was serviceable, but the build quality was suspect. Customer Rating: Summary: Best Dryer I've ever had!!! Comment: This is truly the best dryer I have ever had. I have had several different brands and models over many years, and this one is hands down the best! I've got pretty thick hair, and from start to finish it takes about 6-7 minutes to dry my shoulder length hair. I would recommend it to anyone. It's a great buy! Oh, and I almost forgot, it truly leaves your hair shiny and not staticky! Customer Rating: Summary: This is the best hair dryer EVER! Comment: I think this is hands down the best hair dryer EVER! I have told everyone I know to get one (and they all agree). As far as it being heavy, I would agree it weighs more than most but my 57 year old mother uses it with no problem. I am on my second one but I dry my hair every day. Mom still has hers after a few years with less use. Worth EVERY penny. Customer Rating: Summary: Fan Has Bearing Design or Spec Problems Comment: I've had this hair dryer for 2 years and for the past year it squeals with a loud high pitch unexpectedly (really wakes a person up) and you have to immediately turn it off. Then it's ok for awhile, then it squeals *loudly* again. It's related somewhat to the position or orientation of the hair dryer and cold start temperature. After a year I've noticed that it squeals whenever the room temperature is below about 71 deg. F, say, in the wintertime. But now it basically squeals all the time until the unit is warmed up. Other people have stated this problem, you can search this online using this product name, model. It should have been a factory recall. It's most likely due to poor motor bearing specifications. I recently bought a new hair dryer, a different brand, to replace this Remington SuperSonic dryer. I am a engineering professional degreed in several areas.
