Great dryer but couldn't make this work on my curly hair. I loved the root boost but the way it concentrates air up the hair shaft makes the curls frizz. It was a little loud & heavy, if I'm being picky. It is fast though!!
Well I went out and bought this model yesterday I hadn't read the reveiws here or I probably wouldn't have but after using it for the first time today I have to say that I'm incredibly impressed with the results so far. My hair which has been going through some rough times lately after a spell of hard water damage, is now incredibly soft and silky. I noticed immediately as I was drying my hair that I had almost no static and my hair actually felt thicker. I can't stop touching my hair it's so soft. The dryer was a little louder than I expected, louder than my last model but I can live with that for the results. This is not as light as my old dryer but not what I'd calI heavy. I love the heat settings, it certainly got hot enough for me and I found I preferred the warm setting. I haven't tried the diffuser so can't comment on that but I love the direction attachment. For now I'm very happy and my hair feels and looks much healthier.

DO NOT BUY THIS BLOW DRYER.
I just purchased this dryer in March 2012. Despite some reviews stating its copper coils making the motor die out faster, or something like that (science isn't my thing) I bought it for the decent price and nice aesthetics.
Fast forward June 2012. Mere months. It just died. Out of no where. Of course while I had wet Aphogee Protein Treatment on. I'm not even a frequent blow dryer, by the way -- maybe a few times a week, if that since I have a lot of hair, and I wash it infrequently.
Thank you for nothing Conair. I learned my lesson and will be upgrading to a better brand tomorrow.

I've had this dryer for about a month now. I recently spent 4 months in Italy where the wattage that comes out of the outlets is much higher than in the states, so the hair dryers were all very powerful and got very hot, something I loved. Drying my hair went so fast! When I got back to the states my hair dryer just wasn't adding up so I bought this dryer to try and replicate the dryers in Italy; the motor is supposed to make it extra powerful to speed up drying time. Happily, this dryer does just that! The air speed is powerful enough to cut drying time down. What it doesn't do, though, is get very hot. Overall, though, I am pleased, and so far it is definitely worth the $30 price tag.
I bought this hair dryer because mine died on me suddenly one morning and I needed a quick replacement and didn't have time to go to Ulta and really search for one. I fell for the Jonanthan Anton endorsement on the box and the special AC motor. I paid $40.00 for this, plus tax. It dries my hair and it is lightweight. Other than that, I hate it. The two concentrator attachments make drying my hair more difficult because they're so narrow, it doesn't seem to get as hot as my other 1875 dryer did, and I feel like it takes longer to dry my hair now. It's only worth about 10 bucks, and when it dies I will be very happy. I am thinking of purchasing another hair dryer and keeping this one as a backup. I don't recommend this at all.

The reason I like this blow dryer is that it doesn't get so hot that it fries my hair. It's dry and damaged enough from heat styling so I'm trying to only use tools that go easy on my mistreated hair. It's extremely light weight and comes with a concentrator with really helps.
I bought this at costco for $14 and I'm really happy with it. (So far, after reading some of these reviews I am now a bit nervous.) But I would recommend, at this price point you can't go wrong and you won't have to because this is a quality dryer. (While it lasts!)

This thing is loud, doesn't get near hot enough even on the hot setting. I wish I had saved the box to take it back. Please don't waste your money.

I've had this dryer for 9 months. I purchased this at Ulta after the SA raved about how good this dryer was. And for the price ($30) it seemed like a good buy. However, after a few months it seemed to loose heat, and power. And now I'm looking for a replacement. What has me so irratated is I had saved for a month because I wanted a good hair dryer and was tired of buying DS or discount store dryers. Now 9 months later I'm starting my search over for a good quality dryers.

This blowdryer is very good, i have very wavy hair. The back of my hair comes out straight when i take a flat brush and brush it side to side in the back while it is drying. I don't know if that sounds confusing, but this dryer is the only dryer that has ever blown my hair straight in the back, AWESOME!
This review is for the orange dryer that is pretty new on the market. It's full title according to conair.com is "Infiniti Pro by Conair™ 1875-Watt Salon-Performance AC Motor Styling Tool ". Note that the advertisement says the MOTOR lasts 3x longer than a conventional DC motor (which is what your run of the mill dryer has).
I was extremely impressed with this dryer for about 6 months. I was able to achieve an almost salon perfect blow out with this and my favorite round brush (I say almost because I'm no stylist :) ). It was quiet, heated up quick, got as hot as I needed it plus it was lightweight. So why is my review in past tense? Well, as of this morning it isn't blowing out any hot air. The motor is still powerful as it was when I bought it though. I called a friend of mine who is an electrical kind of guy and he said that the heating coil was more than likely made of copper which burns out pretty quickly. It's also cheaper than the metals used in more expensive models so that explains the cost.
It was only $30 so I'm not disappointed, I just wouldn't purchase this again. I now realize that they say the MOTOR lasts 3x longer than a conventional DC one..not so much the "dryer" itself.
