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.
Thanks! - In for one to replace the one my mom stole when visiting (since she liked it so much) - 'Compact, fairly light, good flexible cord' - I recommend it to anyone.

My fiancee can vouch that the Babyliss is much faster than the cheap ones.
Cheap one took 20 minutes. Babyliss took 10 minutes and is much quieter/more pleasant sounding.
No clue why free shipping isn't working for some people. Mine was $71 shipped after tax and discounts plus 4% CB. Great deal for a birthday present. Thanks OP!

Judging by that review the $20-30 are just as good as the $500, lol. Well that saved me money, will return this one after I get it.

Buy a Babyliss. It's what most salons use.
