The jury's still out on this one. [SEP] I bought this to replace my Chi blow dryer.  This product has a decent weight and doesn't feel flimsy, but on the other hand it doesn't feel quite balanced like the Chi.  This unit is more 'high tech' than the dryer it replaced, but I'm not convinced it does a better job or lives up to its claims.  If you're looking for high power this definitely would fit the bill.  I felt like I was drying my hair with a leaf blower.
