1500 Watt power I think is sufficient, the airflow is strong enough.
The hair dryer is well balanced and not too heavy, just right for men's hands.
However, the power saving is the heat generation due to say that he sometimes just so warm blows at the highest level, as my old at the lowest level.
Well, you do not burn the scalp or earlobes, but I would have some reserves have wished.
I wonder if the strange smell actually came from my old hair dryer or perhaps of burnt hair ...; o)
I reserve the Rowenta in any case anyway, because the quality is convincing and the optics also appealing.
