This Remington hairdryer D-3157 is a very good hairdryer for the price, I think it has many advantages and it's good value. I bought this hairdryer from Argos this year for £14.99. At the time I was looking for a hairdryer with a diffuser to style my hair curly that wouldn't be too big to pack in a suitcase for travelling with. I didn't have much time to look for one but I chose this because it wasn't expensive and it's compact which was ideal for taking on holiday because of its size.
This hairdryer is a 2000 watt with three heat and two speed options, the weight is not too heavy as it's only 0.275g and the diffuser and concentrator attachments were included. It's not complicated to use because of the fact that it only has a few different settings. I like the design too which is a nice mainly green and black with silver on the front and back edging parts of the hairdryer.
Despite having a lot of advantages for a cheap but good quality hairdryer, it does also have a few disadvantages compare to other hairdryers. Firstly, the fact that it does not have many options to change heat etc could be a problem if you want to do certain hair styling. Secondly, the hairdryer sometimes overheats quite quickly compared to my previous hairdryer which can be a problem because it can lead to the hairdryer turning itself of and not turning on for a few hours. Finally, the hairdryer is quite cheaply made so it would break fairly easily, but for it's price you can't expect too much.

This was a ideal hairdryer for me as it was just what I was looking for, I would also recommend it to anyone that wants a hairdryer with diffuser if they want to take it whilst travelling because of its weight and size. It's not a bad hairdryer at all, I've had it since March and it dries my hair quite quickly considering it's not very powerful.

This hairdryer is still being sold at Argos and other shops, although I found Argos the cheapest at the time.
