Hair dryer test we did with my girlfriends waist length hair:
Cheap $20 dryer - 18 minutes to dry, very loud
Shark: 10 minutes to dry, high pitched whine that was unpleasant.
Babyliss: 10 minutes to dry, quiet and pleasant sound! Babyliss is what professional salons use, about 80 bucks. Should last you 30 years with home use. Highly recommend!
While the Shark looks fancy, a $19 Remington performed better in this test in almost every metric over the Shark. The Dyson was the best performing hair dryer overall but obviously at a big cost. It doesn't look like any 'mid-range' ($90-200) hair dryers perform any better than the cheap ones.
I bit the bullet, my mom has been complaining about wanting a new hair dryer for weeks so will get this for her as an early Bday present. I could not decide between the pro and normal ones, but decided to just get the lower end one since they seemed pretty similar and I know nothing about these things. Any reason to get the pro over the standard one besides more attachments come with it?
Also who ever TD this deal with "Other" must be working for Dyson, lol.
