BERTA1875W Professional Salon Hair Dryer Negative Ionic Blow Dryer, 2 Speed 3 Heat Settings Cool Button with AC Motor, Concentrator Nozzle & Diffuser

This is a great hair dryer. I have thin hair, but a LOT of it, and with a natural wave/curl, it takes me forever to blow dry my hair usually. With previous blow dryers, I always have to dry in small sections and go over those sections 4, 5, 6 times even, just to get the hair dry (and on HOT and HIGH settings!) Even then, after all that, I normally had to run a flat iron through it just to reduce some of the puff-- despite my valiant round-brush efforts. For those reasons, I resigned myself to always having to spend a full hour to go from the shower to having my hair dry and finished, and that was that. I got this blow dryer after my last one bit the dust, and I couldn't be happier. First, I love the weight of the device itself-- not so heavy I have a one-sided arm work out every morning, but heavy enough to feel substantial and not-flimsy. Secondly, the settings are just what you need-- cool, warm, hot, off, low, high-- plus cold button. No more bells and whistles than you need-- which I find to usually be directly correlative to the quality of the machine. Secondly, I can actually dry my hair on LOW with only 1-2 passes on sections, which means I'm done in at least half the time, and minimal "poof"-- so need need for flat ironing afterwards!! My average time blowdrying has gone from 45 min to about 25-30 min tops. And without needing an additional pass or two with the flatiron, that's a whole extra half hour I can stay in bed in the morning. Thank you, Berta!

I just bought this because I was needing a hair dryer. This brings out my curls and makes them look BEAUTIFUL! Very good buy!

UPDATE......After my review the company contacted me, they apologized for my bad experience and said they would have it looked into to right away to find out why and how it could have happened. They offered to send me out a replacement at no extra cost to me, I've since received it and I've been using it with no problems. It works great, does an amazing job as I described the first time no frizzy hair, and shiny. I'm very happy with this blow dryer, my first one was a fluke and I'm so satisfied with how stand up this company is. They went out of their way to contact me and resend me a replacement. I'm a very happy customer.I happy with this blow dryer, no frizz and shiny hair. Until..... My son walked in to ask me a question and I pulled the dryer away so I could hear him and at that moment a very big spark came out before I could even turn it off. It made me jump, and scared me. Not good considering I just received this product on Friday today is Sunday and it's only my second time using it. I usually wait to review items I've purchased to give a fair review but this one I had to post now. I will give it a two because it did work nice before the malfunction.

Bought this as a gift for my college age daughter. She loves it! I had a chance to try it while she was home visiting and I have to say I really love it too! I never used an Ion dryer before and wasn't quite sure about the healthier hair claims. I just wanted to dry my hair. After using this for a week, I went back to my old dryer. Eeek! My old dryer frizzed out my hair, it took more work to get it under control. I did not even realize how much time I was spending to get it to style the way I wanted even though my hair is healthy and shiny with no split ends, color damage, etc... The Berta dried my hair faster without using the highest heat setting & left my hair super shiny. My son had always complained about my old dryer but I didn't see the problem. Long story short, I've purchased a 2nd one!In case you want to know our hair types:Daughter - long thick hair with layers, unprocessed, med. texture, will curl if left to air drySon - short, baby fine thick layered hair, with natural waveMine - shoulder length, med. texture, unprocessed, will curl if left to air dry

UPDATE: It is now January 2021 and this hairdryer is still working well. It may be a tiny bit noisier than when new, but still dries my hair quickly and efficiently. I would not hesitate to buy another one when I need a replacement.I've used the hairdryer less than a week. So far, I like it. It seems like a nice quality dryer. It has good air flow and dries my hair quickly. My one dislike is the location of control buttons. I have had to adjust my usual grip. Not that big of a deal. My hair dries smoother with this type of dryer and I am not disappointed with this one. I tend to burn up hairdryers quickly, even with good maintenance practices, and It is too soon to know how this one will hold up.

I have had this for 5 days now. I love it! I recently had my other dryer break and was using a travel dryer for a week before this was delivered. So this is what I am comparing. My hair was frizzy and awful with the travel dryer. This came and what I noticed immediately was the frizzy was gone! I like that the heat settings are actually correct. No surprises there. There is a nice long cord so I can flip my hair upside down to dry and I don't have to be scrunched up next to the wall to do this. I really don't think any dryer can be low noise so I wasn't getting it for that and Im not sure it is on the high setting but pretty quiet on the lower one. Honest it takes me half the time to dry my hair in the morning. I am so pleased with this dryer, I would buy again.

I love it! It does a great job drying my hair, which is heavy and holds water like a sponge. It is pretty quiet, as far as blow dryers go, which is nice. My husband loves that he can come in an chatter at me while I am drying my hair...I think that this may be considered a downside to the quiet, but you can judge for yourself with your own man. The only thing on this that I am having to get used to is the way the switches are positioned on the handle. They are not the way any of my dryers have been in the past, and I keep accidentally turning it off and changing the heat settings while I am styling. This is certainly more of a MY fault issue than that of the dryer though.All in all, it is a good quality hair dryer, and I am pleased with its performance.
