the jurys still out on this one [SEP] i bought this to replace my chi blow dryer this product has a decent weight and does not feel flimsy but on the other hand it does not feel quite balanced like the chi this unit is more high tech than the dryer it replaced but i am not convinced it does a better job or lives up to its claims if you are looking for high power this definitely would fit the bill i felt like i was drying my hair with a leaf blower
