Look and Feel:
The Philips is well in hand, makes a good impression and is processed compared to brown over 100 grams lighter. (Brown weighs just 600 grams, the Philips only 500 g). The cord is about 10 cm shorter, but long enough to easily play with the hair dryer for my taste. The essays are easy to install and without hakeln and sit well. The operation of the temperature and speed settings lies with Philips in while they are mounted at Brown outside. The internal operation has in my view no advantage or disadvantage, it is a matter of habit.
VOLUME:
A hair dryer makes noise, which is in the nature of things. The sound is a little more comfortable when Braun, Philips developed the higher, slightly unpleasant sound, but the differences are marginal.
SPOILER:
The diffuser is placed at the hairline and brings wealth. This I can confirm, however, he fluffed the hair on not only, but blows it pretty messed up. My tip: Wet hair with the diffuser to dry to bring wealth into the hair and then blow-dry the lengths with the brush.
Ion function:
Personally, I could not tell the difference for blow-drying without ion function. Maybe a slightly lower tendency to "fly" and a little less frizz, but would refrain from that the ion function these effects actually completely prevented. In my view, this is a promise that can not quite keep both hairdryers. I know, however, from other users that they are delighted with the ion function well. Maybe it's the hair and the effect is different for each. You just should not expect too much of yourself.
Drying Rate:
The hair is Rip-Rip dry, similar to the brown. Here the Philips plays already in the upper class.
MY CONCLUSION:
The Philips is a quite high-quality hair dryer, the loose who stars in the upper class. The hair is Rip-Rip dry, it is handy and lightweight. The ion function may well achieve in one or the other an effect here, however, one should not approach with high expectations.
