Excellant hair dryer, the rubber grip on handle is a great idea, makes it easier to keep hold of. The main advantages are that it has 3 different heat settings (cool, warm and hot) and 3 speed settings, its incredibly versatile for styling or just quick drying, i find it drys my hair extremely quickly when in a rush without my hair feeling dry or brittle.

It comes with a concentrator nozle which is excellent for styling, really easy to use with either a paddle brush or a rounded brush for straightening.

It is really rather quite light compared to many hair dryers which makes it suitable for styling as it tend s to take longer, its even more suitable with the lower heat setting, it makes me feel a bit more confident im not going to damage my hair. It also has a cold air button, which turns the air cold as you guess to set a style and give your hair shine.

It is an ionic hairdryer, theres a switch on the handle which means you can turn it on or off. This is preferable as it supposedly disperses negative ions to eliminate frizz and add fullness and body, resulting in shiny and smooth hair, however in all honesty iv never noticed any difference in my hair when i use a ionic hairdryer or not.

Another good thing about it is it has a removable fluff catcher so its easy to clean, keeps the hairdryer in good condition.
It is a nice simple design, plain black rubber handle with a plastic-which looks almost patent, body. Its easy to clean clean you just have to wipe it with a cloth, its light and fairly small. Its got nice little lights on to show the speed and heat temperature, and also a little blue light at the top shows you whether ions are being dispersed or not. It got a long cord which i always find useful means i can do other things at the same time. Also what I find very useful is it has a little rubber hook near the base of the cord so its easy to store as you can hand it somewhere out of the way. One of the best things about it though is its durability, i tend to travel alot and it always comes with me, its been based around alot and dropped quite a few times but it still works perfectly and its physical appearance is still emaculate!

Iv only ever had 2 problems with it, 1. you cannot retract the cord so can be a pain when traveling or storing. 2. its designed for right handed people. The buttons are all on the left side of the handle rather than the inside so can be a bit of a pain when styling, otherwise no problems with it!

Wow, sounds like it's worth a try. Still using my Remington after 6 years though - Kupo x

i could do with an ionic hairdryer i think, even though never heard of it until now :)
