The hair dryer is well made and smells slightly new - the Smell falls especially when hair is dry on but then quickly disappeared. The hairdryer is black with a pink stripe on the discharge pipe and the slider. Weighing in at 485 g and a length of about 20 cm with styling nozzle it is quite light, compact and can also, thanks to the retractable handle stowed, well. The length of the power cable of 1.7 m I find sufficient.
The handle of the hair dryer can fold. He is included hanging loop and cable protection 16 cm long - when folded closes the handle about the blow pipe - with attached concentrator - from. At the handle there is a voltage selector. You can choose between 120 V and 240 V. Also the grip is the slider for the air flow and temperature. The following 3 settings are made possible, gentle drying and quick drying - a Cold does not exist.
The hair dryer is good in the hand and you can reach the slider easily. Between the two steps it shows a difference in both the temperature and the air flow. The hair dryer is not particularly quiet and sometimes rattles slightly during operation. Amazed me that the blow pipe was not particularly hot during an operating period of about 5 minutes. I could blow pipe during hair drying touch as opposed to styling brush that was extremely hot.
The airflow of the travel hair dryer is weaker than my normal hair dryer so I had a fear that I dry the hair - short hair - would take much longer. The nomad elite but then surprised me. His hair was quite fast dry course is a little faster with a normal hairdryer. For short hair the hair dryer is well suited for long hair you will need a long time until they are dry because of the air flow, in my opinion, is not particularly strong.
A pity, I find that you do not remove the air intake grille - which is of course today hairdryers quite common - and thus can be easily cleaned. So you only have the option of the grid to clean from the outside.
The Nomad Elite Rowenta is nice and light, can be folded compactly and stowed so good, unfortunately lacks a storage bag. When traveling, it is safe, thanks to its low weight and folding handle, an alternative to a normal hairdryer. For everyday use I find it unsuitable because the Cold missing and the air flow somewhat weak.
