CONAIR1875 Watt Compact Dual Voltage Travel Hair Dryer with Folding Handle, Grey

I have tried 5 different blow dryers and so far this is my favorite. I have thick, wavy long hair and this dries it quickly. I had another dryer before this that put out a lot of air but not enough heat, it tangled my hair too much even on low speed and still didn't get it dry. I love the compact and light size too.

Stick of standing in line at the gym waiting to use that ONE dryer they have? Need something small enough for travel but MUST have a cold shot? You still want powerful right? This is second to the tiniestkind out here, it's not the smallest/it's the second smallest but it had everything that I wanted in a hair dryer for the gym/travel. Only thing is the LOW setting is when you push the slider UP and the HIGH setting is when you push the slider DOWN (with your thumb there are no buttons to press on it). Just so you know. At first, I pushed it up and it wasn't very HOT, so I tried the other way and WOW yep, this is a powerful hot small portable dryer. I'm very pleased with it AND if folds!

Have had this thing for 7 years and it still works perfectly. But there are a few things to be aware of.1. The way these things work is that when you turn the switch to 240 V it just prevents you from using the high setting. When you use the low setting at the higher voltage, it basically is doing the same thing as when you have it on the high setting back home in the US. So another words you only get one setting when you are traveling to Europe, Asia. If you have very fine hair, you will not be able to use the low setting when you are abroad and you may find the dryer is too hot.2. Don’t forget to flip the switch to 240 V when you are going to use it in Europe or Asia. If you forget, and you turn the dryer onto the high setting, you could damage or even destroy it

I needed a hair dryer that was small enough to pack, yet still powerful enough to dry my hair. This is the one!

I bought this hair dryer to take on trips. It fits nicely in my carry on bag. It also dries my hair fast and leaves it silky smooth. Highly recommend.

TRULY a life-saver! If you'e traveling in Europe and staying in hotels or AirBNBs where you might not have access to a hair dryer, this is so useful. It comes out of the box set to US voltage, you'll need a dime or a penny to insert in the tiny round button at the base of the hair-dryer, turn it all the way to the EU voltage setting. IMPORTANT:: If you read the instruction booklet, it informs you that when used in Europe, on the EU voltage setting, you should ONLY click the dryer into the "LOW" position. Setting the dryer to "LOW" on EU voltage actually makes it work as if it were on a "HIGH" setting on max heat. There is no way to use it on the EU voltage and use it on a setting that blows in a way you'd expect a normal "LOW" or "COOL" setting on an American hairdryer to work. Fine by me though, as it's tiny and not salon-dryer powerful so I can't imagine wanting to use this on a setting other than "high & hot."TLDR; When using it in Europe:1. Make sure you used a coin to switch the voltage knob on the front to the EU voltage setting2. On EU voltage, ONLY use with switch in the "LOW" position - counter-intuitively this will give you the equivalent of a dryer set to "HIGH/MAX HEAT" and the booklet says this is the only safe setting to use when abroad.

LOUD. Works great, compact, light weight, but super high pitched sound. I thought I might just be sensitive to the loud noise but it made my Apple Watch noise alert go off when I use it. Returning it.

This little dryer worked great for me in France, UK, Spain and Italy. The low setting at 250v is identical to the high setting at 120v. When it's set to 250v, you can only use the low setting (which is like high) - it locks the high setting to prevent it from being used. So, if you like to use the low setting on your hair dryer (for a less powerful heat/blow), you wouldn't have that option when it's set to 250v. Personally, I don't ever use the low setting - I want my hair to dry as quickly as possible! And that's exactly what this little guy does for me. It is a little loud, but in my experience, that's how it is with small hair dryers - and it's a small price to pay for so much power in such a small package. I also find that my long hair gets more easily sucked up into small dryers, and this one is no exception. I just take a little extra care not to keep the air intake close to my hair - which isn't hard, since it's opposite from the dryer nozzle I use this when I'm traveling in the states, too, but not when I'm home, as I have a larger quieter dryer I use when I'm not traveling. This dryer folds up very compactly, and is easy to fit into even a small bag. I love this little dryer - if it broke, I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
