...My first Braun PRO 2000 hairdryer was a Christmas present last year from my daughter as between us we had worn out our old one! The name suggested it would be as good as a professional hairdryer.
I have to say that for the first six months of its life it performed perfectly, was really powerful - and I could dry my whole head of hair in one go. Toria was using it too, and she has long hair as well, so it was getting a bit of a bashing.
In July it started to cut out - half way through drying - so if I left it too late getting ready I was going out with one side of my hair smooth and straight and the other, wavy - very classy!!
I looked and looked for the guarantee as I assumed it had a 12 month warranty, but as usual it had fallen into that black hole where all things you need go to hide.

Advantages: Good range of heat settings. Cold shot. ?Ionic technology. Long lead. Disadvantages: Large and heavy to use. A bit noisy.
...I was deeply sceptical about the "ionic technology". The idea is that static electricity (which can make hair bush out) is not built up by this drier so your hair lies smoother on your head. Whatever the drier emits when the blue button is pressed, I do think that it (or something) makes my hair less flyaway. You can switch it off if you like.
There are 3 heat levels and 3 fan speeds.The "cold shot" is useful for helping to set a style before venturing out into the cold outside..
This hairdryer is very powerful and dries hair quickly but inevitably, given its power, is a bit noisy. The long lead makes it relatively easy to look in a mirror when drying hair. Unfortunately the dryer is a lot larger and heavier than my old Braun, which doesn't have a direct replacement, so it's less comfortable to use and takes up more storage space...

Hair free and not as painfull as led to believe.
After all these years I invested in an epilator. I always thought it would hurt as everyone I knew had said it was.
When I opened my product it looked scarey. I plugged it into the mains, it has a... more
I saw this shaver on special offer in my local Comet for only £133 (Argos were selling it at £250 so the saving was over £100!) so I decided to take the plunge and buy one after waiting so long.
Unpacking the shaver is an adventure in itself, as the... more
I was given this for Christmas and I hate it. It is the worst electric rasor I have ever used in my life.
It looks nice and I was quite pleased when I opened my present, however, after using it a few times, I've now had to admit to my girlfriend that... more
Although I don't usually spend a lot of money on electric shavers this time I decided to splash out. The features which caught my eye were the 'Clean and Renew System' and the Power comb 1 hour charge time and3 minute quick charge. The 3 minute quick... more
