I've had this dryer for a little over a year. In the beginning, the hot setting made the dryer emit a rather disturbing burnt plastic smell, but since I never needed to use that setting given how hot the warm setting is, it wasn't much of a problem. But after a year of use, the warm setting is beginning to emit the same burning smell! The last thing I want near my head is something that smells like it's about to catch fire. I'll be replacing this dryer. My other complaint is that, from the beginning, the "cool" setting (and thereby the cool shot button) isn't all that cool. It won't "freeze set" your hair as it claims.

PROS: Hair dries FAST! Lots of power. High heat. Lots of heat/speed settings. Housing looks nice.
CONS: Shuts off everytime it gets too hot. (Which is good I suppose... if you are concerned with overheating. But for me it would die in the middle of getting ready for work. It cost a lot of time waiting for it to cool and click back on.)
FINAL NOTE: It completely died!! Granted, I used it almost everyday for a year or more. But today when I went to use it, it just wouldn't turn on. Totally dead. :(
DECENT DRYER FOR THE PRICE. BUT IF YOU'RE WILLING TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE, TRY SOMETHING BETTER.

I love this hairdryer! I have used them for about four years now, and alot of places are discontinuing them at the stores. I found them on here, and got such an incredible deal, i ordered three!!!! Not alot of hairdryers "Blow" as much air as this...they should keep this model, instead of all these new ones...the four other brands i have tried, i have returned, for the lack of air flow. My only recommendation with this is that it gets hot, and if you shut it off on the hottest setting it will not kick on for a few minutes...i always put mine on cool for the last minute before shutting it off, and i dont have a problem...i think it's just a safety feature. Keep this hairdryer Conair, and dont discontinue it!!!

I have had my Conair translucent dryer for over a year (and I blow-dry daily). Pros- hair dries FAST due to the SUPER heating elements. It's lightweight, and not as loud as some dryers I've used. The filter snaps on and off easily, so a quick cleaning is no problem. Not many dryers come with three heating options (four, when you count the cool shot button) AND three speeds, as this one does.
That said, the cord is really thick and often rolls up on its own--annoying--plus there's no hang loop. The heat is almost too hot. It sometimes smells like the plastic is melting. I definately wouldn't recommend this to someone with fine or damaged hair.

This hairdryer is wonderful. Works great! Enjoy ease of use and looks. Only drawback is the additional parts tend to fall off easily.
