I've been using a Vidal Sassoon travel hair dryer for years and it was time to replace it. I started looking at more expensive brands and was about to pay $139 on a light weight Sedu. I asked my hairdresser for recommendations and she actually told me to save my money and buy a drug store brand. After reading all of the reviews on Amazon, I settled on the Revlon RV544. It's bigger than my travel hair dryer but it's about the same weight and it's a lot more powerful. I've only used it a few times but I like it. Unlike some reviewers, I don't find the buttons poorly placed and I think the cord is a good length. Bottom line, you can't beat the Revlon RV544 for the price. UPDATE: I've changed my mind about this blow dryer. I have a lot of fine, layered hair. The blow dryer doesn't give my hair body. I thought my hair was looking flat because I was in need of a hair cut. Then I used a blow dryer at my gym and my hair looked fine. I realized that it's not my hair, it's the dryer. NEW BOTTOM LINE: Based on the positive reviews, I think this hair dryer is good for people with thick or curly or frizzy hair. I can't recommend it for people with fine hair.

This is a powerful dryer, but it doesn't singe my hair the way most do. I'm used to a smaller dryer, so the heft took a little getting used to, but my small ones never felt like a salon dryer the way this one does. My one caveat is if you have a specific storage space, be sure to pay attention to the measurements. I didn't, but I lucked out. It stays in a drawer in my vanity that has an electrical outlet built in, and it fits in there with no room to spare. If it's even lying on a hairpin or its own cord, the drawer won't shut. So, I'm glad I bought it, and I expect we'll have a long and beautiful relationship.
