I don't know if you really want to be informed, or just using the opportunity to soapbox about nothing. Regardless, take these scenarios:

Why buy a 1000+ dollar computer , when Walmart sells them for 150 dollars? You can run games on low settings.

Why buy a 4k TV when Target has TVs for 300 dollars. A TV is a TV, Why do you need the extra fancy stuff?

People don't spend more money on function alone, they spend money on quality with function.

A 1k dollar used car has the same purpose as a 100k car, the difference is quality. In this case, if you like your hair, you should probably take care of it.

A 10 dollar blow dryer has one purpose, make things hot; that's it. It only has one function/setting on the machine...hot. Basic science tells us, uncontrolled heat + organic material = melt.

https://www.google.com/search?cli...lnspr=W10=
👆🏽And this is why people end up with hair like that link. It's also why salons aren't rushing to buy 10 dollar hair dryers and flat irons.

The cheap comes out expensive.

No company is putting tourmaline or ceramic in a 10 dollar hair drier.

The one you linked is great for projects around the house, or if you need to heat something up. Not hair.

Good question. The Revlon has a cool air button which some people use after drying with a heat setting to "set" their hair. A hair stylist would be able to explain better than me.

I tried this model a while back and returned it. Very weak airflow.

Yours is missing the separate switches for flow and temp that hold position. Look at the front view.

Why would a hair dryer not be good for hair? The rest of us want to know why we're going to buy this and throw our $10 dryers out

I actually wanna know! I knew you were going to get defensive about my question so I tried to make it as welcoming as I could, people are so sensitive. I have the exact $10 dryer he linked, is this OP dryer going to be a big upgrade to that? I use it on my beard everyday and I do know the heat damage it will get. My old dryer was left at my ex's house and I used it recently noticed that it was less hot and quieter which may be what I needed. But what's this ceramic and tourmaline thing about

Lol. I wrote a sentence about if you're actually asking a legitimate question and you seem to have gotten upset about it. It's not that serious, I don't have a stock in Revlon, you should keep whatever you have.

That being said, you're using it on your beard, I don't think you need to invest much more.

A $10 one is probably 1,500 watts and will work on a 15-amp breaker. This one is 1,875 watts so you need 20+ amp breakers to not blow em

These will all work in a 15 amp breaker. The 1875 watts is ok on a 15 amp breaker for a short duration. Both the $10 one I liked to and the OP's are 1875 watts.

Anecdotal experience. As a guy who cares for his hair, I used to use $30 dryers thinking that was enough. My ex gfs all used $100 - $200 dryers which I would occasionally borrow. They left my hair with a silky smoothness that my $30 unit could not match. I have since then become a believer in hair dryer tech.

Be careful with that. Also if you're using them in a bathroom, which is where most people use hair dryers, you should have GFCI outlets. The breakers should be tripping if you overload them.

because most who buys expensive hairdryer don't have the interest in study nor care about the science behind it (no offense) as they often just go for the brand.

technically speaking: you want the hair dryers to remove the moisture on the surface of you hair as quickly as possible, but not cook the hair. cooking the hair is what leads to dryness.
there are essential three ways making water evaporate: higher temperature, higher air flow, or lower pressure. since you cannot put yourself in a low pressure chamber, and high temperature cooks the hair, you really left with high air flow.

and that's what separate different hairdryers, the ultra expensive ones often don't rely as much on heat to dry out hair than it is on airflow. also, to make the noise more tolerable means some thoughts needs to put in the design to either muff the sound, or shift to different frequency.

purely from engineering perspective, the dyson hair dryer is a marvel. ultra fast fan means it can be shrieked into the handle, making it is smaller at the top, lower the center of gravity, and more ergonomic. but if we are back in the land of traditional hair dryer with fan on the top that has been pretty much standardized with heating coil... you are just paying the brand.

at this point, i would buy the cheapest hair dryer as long as they are UL (it is, after all, a 1500W heating coil in your hand), bur i would pay extra for high flow hair dryers, and you don't need to buy dyson for that.
