Like so many other reviewers on on this product, this dryer suddenly stopped working for me also. I was satisfied with this hair dryer for the 6 weeks or so that I actually got to use it. It has a lot more power than your average hairdryer and does seems to cut down on drying time. It is a little heavier than my previous hairdryer but that didn't bother me. I really liked the extra long cord. BUT, this hairdryer completely stopped working on May 19... I purchased it on March 28. I tried it on every plug in my bedroom and it still wouldn't work... other appliances worked as normal in the outlets. There is a 30-day return policy, so this was basically a waste of $50.00 for me. If you still feel compelled to try this dryer, buy it from a seller with a better return policy.
