"if i knew then what i know now i would not have purchased it"

"dryer dont get hot enough"

"fell on a carpeted floor and had to throw it away"

"i go from hard shrinkage to glorious soft combed out afro or now straight combed out replaced hair "

"really annoyed as was so looking forward to using it especially after reading all the good reviews !"

"usually have really flakey scalp and dry hair this hair dryer has resolved these issues"

"i was really sceptical when i saw this hair dryer but i decided to get it anyway"

"it’s not a terrible hairdryer but it’s definitely not worth the money when you can get the same if not better product for less than half the price!"

"this hairdryer runs relatively quietly isn't overly weighty or cumbersome and dried my hair in half the time and i didn't need to use the highest heat or air flow settings!"

"really dissatisfied nowhere near as powerful as it claims takes quite a while to dry my hair"

"i like the fact how you can adjust the settings from slow blast to fast and the diffuser makes styling a quiff really good it adds texture and it don't burn well worth buying"

"the only thing that i would criticize is the shape and handle which is not that easy the use"

"but this lightweight hairdryer seems to make it so soft and natural looking just simply adore how my hair feels"

"i have quite thick coloured hair and this dryer doesn’t do much to improve the softness of my hair my hair feels no different from using a cheap dryer and using this rather expensive one !"

"this is quite heavy to hold and the "nano" technology left my hair feeling limp and floppy"

"bought this for my wife for christmas to replace an old nicky clarke hairdryer it was between this and the more expensive ghd hairdryer but reading reviews i decided on this one"

"it takes ages to dry my medium length hair comparing to my 6 year old dryer that unfortunately broke"

"the cold blast really seems to fix it in place"

"it's very spotty"

"does not get as hot and feels gentler on the hair"

"it cannot blow dry a fringe straight!"

"only issue is it is fairly heavy"

"however it does dry my hair quickly at a lower temperature than previous hair dryers have so may be avoiding some of the heat damage i would have incurred using other more inexpensive hairdryers"

"the extra money instead of the cheap ones was well worth it"

"i've been suffering with really dry hair since having a few colours put on it recently and started getting dry frizzy patches around my face"

"its not powerful at all and my hair feels more damaged and seems to take a long time to dry "

"it wasn't too heavy which was a bonus and i enjoyed the cold blast button"

"very quick to dry also makes my hair very straight like i’ve styled it with out the actual hassle of doing so"

"so many things wrong with this product: too heavy and too bulky to operate easily takes too long to dry hair not powerful enough hair is left fluffy and frizzy noisy to operate nozzles don’t stay on properly glad i’d bought when reduced though nowhere near value for money at half price"

"never in my life i felt happy with my hair just after using a hair dryer but this panasonic nanoe is definitely different"

"it is a little heavy after a while but not a major problem"

"negative : while being delicate on hairs and giving a slightly quicker drying than non ionic hairdryers at comparable air pressure and temperature settings the air pressure at max setting it's acceptable but not really the best if you need to dry your hair quickly i found lower than most higher powered cheap hairdryer and the temperature setting number 1 it's basically a cold shot while at highest setting can burn your scalp in a few seconds so that we never use more than the 3th setting"

"i spent so long looking through reviews for a new hairdryer wondering whether or not to get the much more pricey dyson one or the ghd one"

"but after testing for over a week and having to dry an extremely oily hair every day during winter i can see my hair is clearly glossy and not at all dry"

"overall it’s a great low volume not overly heavy dryer that leaves hair shiny"

"it is weak hair drier and people with thick and long hair shall not waste their time and money on this one"

"it's also quite chunky and doesn't feel that powerful although it is a lot quieter than my old one"

"if anything it makes my hair feel limp rather than shiny"

"after a while my hand kept slipping to the top of the handle so the cold button kept getting pushed in"

"the cover on the outer side is matt and if your hands are dirty or oily or if you've had hair product on your hands it marks the dryer with this oily residue"

"so many things wrong with this product: too heavy and too bulky to operate easily takes too long to dry hair not powerful enough hair is left fluffy and frizzy noisy to operate nozzles don’t stay on properly glad i’d bought when reduced though nowhere near value for money at half price"

"can't say my hair is in any better condition but there is nothing invented yet that can sort my dry damaged hair"

"the power cable is not long enough"

"a major plus for me has been the lower volume of this dryer the lowest setting can be used at any point time of night however it is awkward to hold the dryer as the control switches change position very easily"

"negative : while being delicate on hairs and giving a slightly quicker drying than non ionic hairdryers at comparable air pressure and temperature settings the air pressure at max setting it's acceptable but not really the best if you need to dry your hair quickly i found lower than most higher powered cheap hairdryer and the temperature setting number 1 it's basically a cold shot while at highest setting can burn your scalp in a few seconds so that we never use more than the 3th setting"

"i have quite thick coloured hair and this dryer doesn’t do much to improve the softness of my hair my hair feels no different from using a cheap dryer and using this rather expensive one !"

"bought one for my daughter for christmas and return window its closed so im now stuck!"

"also found it took me around 10 15 mins longer to do my hair which is frustrating as my hair is very thick and hoped this would cut drying time"

"i haven’t found this too heavy as soon people have mentioned but possibly because my last hairdryer was quite heavy"

"at first i only want to buy a new one as replacement of my existing noisy and extremely hot hairdryer"

"she has thick hair so it takes a while to dry it anyway but you need to be fairly strong to hover this thing over your head for 10 minutes!"

"i like the options with heat speed settings however not too keen on the weight plus it’s cumbersome but maybe that’s because i was used to a smaller hairdryer and will get used to this in time"

"not too noisy fries hair fast"

"very good build quality and features but very heavy"

"however any one who wants a hairdryer with several settings cool shot a pretty long cord multiple attachments and also cares for your hair leaving it in optimal condition then this is a must"

"it seems far gentler on my hair and i am really pleased with it"

"although she loved the look of the pink hair dryer when the diffuser unit was added to the end it became incredibly heavy and unwieldy to use"

"i have managed to get one section of my hair to hairdressing blow drying standards by using this dryer so it is possible if you have the skill dexterity to get that shiny smooth effect all over even with unruly hair"

"a little heavy"

"so many things wrong with this product: too heavy and too bulky to operate easily takes too long to dry hair not powerful enough hair is left fluffy and frizzy noisy to operate nozzles don’t stay on properly glad i’d bought when reduced though nowhere near value for money at half price"

"it is very pricy but i don't regret my decision"

"the diffuser is also huge and sadly leaves my hair straighter than desired"

"this week it's lost a lot of power i'm presuming motor is on the way out"

"this hairdryer is like your bog standard hairdryer nothing special about it plus it’s heavy"

"negative : while being delicate on hairs and giving a slightly quicker drying than non ionic hairdryers at comparable air pressure and temperature settings the air pressure at max setting it's acceptable but not really the best if you need to dry your hair quickly i found lower than most higher powered cheap hairdryer and the temperature setting number 1 it's basically a cold shot while at highest setting can burn your scalp in a few seconds so that we never use more than the 3th setting"

"unfortunately it's not any quicker to dry my hair which is odd as others said it did and my hair isn't even particularly thick it's actually quite fine"

"it's quite a big dryer and i wouldn't call it light so would travel with it but it's dries my super thick hair really well and its always soft and it's less frizzy than it used to be"
