The travel hair dryer is well made and smells only slightly re - the smell is but disappeared after a short time. The hairdryer is white with two turquoise stripe at the end of the blow pipe and the air intake grille. Weighing in at 450 grams the travel hairdryer is pretty easy despite its size blow pipe about 16 cm long plus 5 cm for the concentrator, handle with hanging loop about 19 cm. The length of the power cable of 1.8 m I find sufficient.
The handle of the hair dryer can fold one trip - the hairdryer is going on in any grip position. You can adjust the handle two different voltages 110-127 V and 220-240 V. Also on the handle there is a slide switch with 3 heat / speed settings Strong airflow, constant temperature and cold setting - and the off position.
The travel hairdryer fits comfortably in your hand and is fairly easy. The cool shot to fix the hair is rather lukewarm than cold. Between the settings Strong airflow and constant temperature in my opinion is the only difference that the strong airflow is warmer. The volume of the hair dryer is somewhat subdued - a conversation in a normal voice but you can not run while the hair dryer is running.
The airflow of the travel hair dryer is weaker than my normal hair dryers, so I had a fear that I dry the hair - it would take a lot longer - short hair. The Essential Care Travel has since then, however, surprised me. His hair was quite fast dry course is a little faster with a normal hairdryer. The cold stage is not particularly suitable for fixing the hair, since the air flow is not really cold.
A pity, I find that the air intake grille can not unscrew what yes today is quite common for hair dryers - and thus can be easily cleaned. So you only have the option of the grid to clean from the outside.
The Essential Care Travel is nice and light, can be folded compactly and stow away in the included large storage bag. When traveling, a safe alternative to a normal hairdryer, thanks to its low weight and easy storage possibility. For everyday use I find it not suitable because the cold stage is not really cold and the air flow a bit weak.
