I really liked this product when I purchased. Lightweight, dries your hair quickly, quiet etc. But after 12 months of normal use, it's a broken hair dryer. It only blows cold air. Really disappointed. I have a few "cheap" hair dryers that I've had for years and I was going to give away since I had this one. Luckily I've kept them or I would be w/out a hair dryer now. I noticed that this dryer does get really hot - probably why it dries your hair so quickly but wondering if this burns it out faster than other ones. After reading other reviews, seems like it is a common problem with these dryers and no warranty coverage when you buy through Amazon (other than 30 day warranty).
