First, the design and colors are very nice. It is small and lightweight. The handle folds down, making it very compact and easy to store in its cover (supplied). Even if the air flow is slightly below a conventional hair dryer, the heat emitted is very correct and therefore it fulfills its function. Compared to others, it is very quiet and the body does not heat. It may well serve as a hair dryer at home if there is little space for storage.
