quiet, fast, and lightweight

Nice dryer and amazon has a nice price on it. Has a ten foot cord (amazing) and is ultra easy on the ears. Heat/air output very good, and dries hair in far less time than old "good" standard dryer. Salon recommended this brand and both my wife (long coarse hair) and I (long, fine hair) could not be more pleased. The "lock in" cold shot button is nice feature too, and well located.

THE BEST HAIR DRYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-11-27
This hair dryer is the best! I have very long, wavy hair and when I use my cheap hair dryer (Conair model) my hair gets frizzy and it doesn't get that straight. After using the Chi Rocket for the first time, my hair was soft, smooth, shiny, and unbelievably super straight! And the drying time was cut in half! From about 30 minutes with the Conair to only 15 minutes with the Chi Rocket! I have researched all kinds of hair dryers on the internet and this is one of the best ones! This product is so worth it. I can understand why the professionals would use this at their salons. The material for this hair dryer seems very solidly made unlike their cheap counterparts. For you ladies out there looking for the best hair dryer, look no further, buy the Chi Rocket. You won't regret it.

High EMF

2007-10-28
I purchased this dryer solely because it was touted as being low EMF. It maxes out the TriField meter (which measures EMF) at the plug as well as at the appliance itself. It dries hair very nicely - so does the dryer I bought at Walmart, which by the way has a lower EMF reading on the meter.

I bought =the TriField Meter to test the EMF in our home and found it where I didn't expect it!! Clock Radio, cordless satellite phone, hair dryer, dimmer switch for light over kitchen table - all off the charts.

BEWARE if you are purchasing this primarily for LOW EMF - it doesn't deliver.

Good product, but don't expect a transformation

I purchased this hair dryer and have been using it for 3 weeks. I read a lot of on line reviews and I guess I just expected a lot more for the money. It's a nice lightweight, quiet dryer. The heat setting is super hot, which gives the impression that your hair is drying faster. I would argue the 40-50% drying time reduction referenced in some of these reviews. Unless you got a hair cut and bought the dryer at the same time, don't expect it to dry your hair in half the time. My hair is shoulder length and it takes me 10 min. to dry. The cool-shot button is nice because you don't have to keep holding it to get cool air. I don't like where it is on they dryer because my thumb keeps hitting the button when I don't want cool air. If you want a great straight look, use a hair straightening serum before drying. It will help create a professional, salon dried look. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase, just don't get caught up in unrealistic reviews. It won't perform a miracle and it's still only a hair dryer, although a bit more expensive than the one your probably mother used.

Impressive dryer!

My wife is a cosmetologist. Who knew that one hair dryer could be so much better than another!? - I didn't. I got this for my wife for her birthday about 6 months ago after I heard her talking enviously about one another girl that works in her salon has. I was a little baffled when I saw how much they cost - so I did my homework. The technology used to dry the hair (ceramic heat & negative ions) makes the difference. She is able to dry hair in about half the time it used to take and without "frying" the hair. She absolutely loves it - I got lots of brownie points! I'm not sold on the "Low EMF," but I don't have a way of testing that out. I suppose it is a plus if indeed it does have a low EMF rating. Highly recommended!

Great Hairdryer

2008-07-07
I bought this hairdryer over a year ago and its still working great. I haven't noticed it drying my hair that much quicker but its definately less frizzy and feels somewhat softer. I generally use the lower heat setting b/c the high heat is really hot! If you're wearing earrings or a necklace while blowdrying they will start burning your skin. I've bought a universal diffuser to use with this hairdryer and even on low heat it really heats up the diffuser attachment. I have to use a towel to remove the diffuser when I'm done. The cool shot button is great and the lights on the side of the hairdryer are neat even though they're unnecessary. I definately recommend this product but just take precautions so it doesn't burn you. Its also so much quieter than my old Conair. I don't feel like I need earplugs to use it. Low EMF was also another selling point for me.

Don't buy it for the low EMF claim

2008-05-16
Most if not all "low EMF" claim for dryers is a marketing gimmick. How they do it? "Low EMF hair dryers use an elongated tube to route hot air to your hair without placing the motor/heater assembly close to your head."

Farouk doesn't even know what EMF is. In its presss release for the launch of its Valentines Day Limited Edition, Farouk spells out EMF as "electro-magnetic force". Well, that EMF is Einstein's concern, whereas ours is "electro-magnetic field".

It's also utter nonsense that "moist heat that dries hair quicker". Moisture in the air always slows down water evaporation, that's why we take wet towel out of shower enclosure to dry.

So buy a long tube with lower wattage from Target or Walmart, save money, save energy while also saving yourself from EMF exposure.

Awesome!

Can I just say awesome!! This dryer is worth the money, I have long curly hair and it dryed my hair quick with NO frizz and left it very soft and touchable. Its worth it, I used a cheapo walmart one for years and I finally took the plunge and spent the money and I am glad I did!

Love this CHI!

I purchased this Chi hair dryer one year ago. I have thick hair, the Chi Dryer dries hair quicker and leaves hair soft and shiny. The Chi dryer also comes with a extra long power cord. I have dropped the dryer many times, and it still works, I'm ordering another today, in case it does fail, and to keep my daughter out of my bathroom.
