What I like:
- Very ergonomic
- Lightweight.
- The buttons are well placed and easy to use.
What I do not like:
- Speed 1 (cold): The least noisy and sufficiently silent. But it is hardly cold with a little bit of heat. It is useless. It's not even a real cold like other products. For example, the old model philips hp4961 / 22, we find the same power with a noise but not much louder this time with a real heater blower on 3 speeds and an extra bonus button to cold.
- The second speed (TP) is already at the maximum that the unit can supply, with power / heat very average but a very loud noise. Supposedly this is not to burn your hair but do not hurry either!
- The third gear has exactly the same power as the second. It heats supposedly a little more but I do not see too much difference.
Result:
- Only the second speed is useful. The others are useless. The power / heat ratio is a regression compared to the old model. For cons, the ergonomics are better.
- Philips has made this unit a thermo-protect function while removing previously existing different combinations on older models.
- Speed 1 directly corresponds to the combination "cold" found on other products with an additional button.
Finally, this unit has hot and noisy that 1 + 1 combination almost cold and silent combination.
