Have ordered this hairdryer after I had already bought from Valera the metal version and my daughter 12J was too heavy. This dryer here is really easy and very quiet. The build quality is above average. I particularly like the solution to twisted cable which I would have liked also to the other model. The power can not be compared with the larger model but perfectly adequate. Lightweight and quiet just does not go together with especially powerful. We are satisfied and would buy it again.
