Overall, I am extremely pleased with this hair dryer.It did improve the texture of my hair. My hair is much shinier and healthier-looking than the results from my old dryer. The fly-away hairs are minimized, which is great news during a Wisconsin winter. It was not quite as heat-intensive as my previous hair dryer (also a Revlon product), which I'm guessing will also help the future health of my hair.The buttons were a little stiff at first use, but I'm hoping they'll loosen up with more use.This dryer was approximately the same weight as my previous dryer. It was slightly less noisy, but at a different pitch (it seemed a little higher pitched).The only thing that prevents me from giving a five-star rating is that it seemed to take a little longer to dry my hair than with my previous dryer, which was the same wattage.I chose this product over the Conair product because this had more options in the heat/air level settings.
