Compared to our old Babyliss (has held the least for 10 years and a great hair dryer was), the device is very light, but remains somewhat with its 2000 watts short of the old 1600s hair dryer. The Remington is hot, but not quite as Stark blows what not disturbing. The hair is dry quickly (without tennis elbow due to excessive weight), are super smooth and shine. Who stubborn, thick hair saves buying a flat iron, because such problems as S-shaped waves in pony or other unwanted curls there with me no longer - without additional equipment, effort or time. The affordable price completes the whole.
