My old dryer was a Conair as well. I was glad to see that I could get another that was very similar to my old dryer. The new one is a little smaller than my old one so it is actually easier to handle.
Nice hair dryer, but they made the power cord too short by at least a foot. I have to be careful which direction I stand to ensure the cord reaches when I bend over to dry my hair -- that's never happened with any previous hair dryer.
I bought this hand held hair dryer rather quickly in order to replace a previous one that was slowly dying. I was super impressed by the noise level of the dryer on “high” … measurably lower in decibels that my previous! What a nice change!
I am very happy with this product. I like the push button settings and three levels of drying power and heat. I actually went back and bought another one a few weeks later for an upstairs bath.
