CHI Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer

i am a professional hairstylist and absolutely love the performance of the CHI turbo. It is fast, hot, and super quiet! I can use it on the high setting and still carry on a conversation with my client without shouting! It does get very hot so i am constantly clicking the cool shot button so as not to burn my client. The down side is that I seem to be constantly replacing them. Ive had some that last 2 years and some that only last 3 months. I dont know what makes the difference, but I cant afford to be without a dryer while im waiting for a replacement over and over. I am still searching to find a dryer to equal the performance of the CHI without the hassle of constantly breaking.

Just after warranty expired (14 months). I would not purchase this again. I had a second one that also broke within a couple of years.

I have had this blowdryer for two years and this week the heating element stopped working. The dryer part still works. I am afraid to replace it with another CHI product.

my heating element cut out - exactly 2 years to the day since I purchased this hair dryer - it must be a scam - I sent it back for my money back - I will keep you posted

I purchased my blow dryer about four years ago, and it is still going on strong. I am very surprised to hear so many are having problems. They may not be making them like they used to.

I DID like this hair dryer. This morning in the middle of styling my hair, the heating element quit working. I've only had it for TEN MONTHS! I believe I paid around $130 for it. For that price it should last a few years. I will not buy another CHI as a replacement.

I was curious when my friend said she had a ionic hairdryer, coz I really had no idea about what Ionic hairdryer could do until she compared her hair with mine. I was jealous of her shiny and smooth hair, and it did cause my purchase of this ionic hairdryer. I'm just thinking that I should have bought it earlier! you guys just remember not to buy a hairdryer could just blow your hair, but with ionic device inside, then you will get the same shiny and smooth hair as I have.

Since my first purchase, that did have a 2 year warrenty, I am on my FIFTH replacement. After the first two they now cost shipping plus $35 to replace. The last two the plugs heat to melting point. I can no longer recommend no wish to use the replacement.

My old dryer had 2-year warranty, but it just stopped blowing at it's 26th month, and I had nothing to complain about. but this hairdryer just has unexcited 1 year warranty compare to its excited function. I will buy the other one...

I really doubted the difference between a professional and a conventional hairdryer before I have this CHI ionic hair dryer. it's strongly recommended by my stylist, but I've found that this ionic hair dryer could make my hair very smooth differently from my conventional hairdryer which costs 20 bucks in supermarket. gotta believe now, professional is professional, it's different.

my son dropped it into the bathtub filled with water, fortunately he didnt get hurt, I will never leave my hairdryer in bathroom any more, so dangerous. now i have to buy a new one, and I still choose this CHI ceramic hair dryer, it blowed so great!

I have had it for a week, but nothing exciting happened, no better than my last Sedu hair dryer. anyway, this CHI is not bad, it could satisfy me basically, that's enough.

I bought this CHI hair dryer at September 2007, it still blow outstandingly as the day when I used it for the first time. it would be perfect if it has a lower price, aha..

my chi ionic hair dryer blows very fast, especially the concentrator does a great favor in increse the speed of the airflow it blows out, making a 10minutes-finish on drying my thick hair of shoulder length, that's awesome!

I purchased this hairdryer in June 2008, and the heating element broke yesterday! When you own a dryer that costs this much, you don't usually have a "back up dryer". Do I buy another CHI and hope that it doesn't break again? I loved it when it worked, but I'm seriously thinking I don't want to chance it.

It has given service for more than 2 years already, and nothing wrong with it, so i did make a perfect deal at this CHI high quality hair dryer, it makes my paid worth!

heard of its magical function in making hair smooth from a stylist, I bought one for myself 3 weeks ago, and in return, it made my hair smoother than ever before, I dont regret my paying that much on it, it's worth.
