Travel Folding Hair Dryer - Lightweight and Powerful 2000W Blow Dryer, Dual Voltage, Worldwide Use, 2 Heat/Speed Settings, Black/Orange, 5334U

Great little gadget take it everywhere. Quite powerful for a travel dryer

It is quite a compact hair dryer for 2000 W. There are many smaller travel hair dryers but they are almost invariably less powerful, which I find takes too long to dry my long hair, so this hair dryer seemed very attractive. When it is folded up, it measures 20 cm x 14 cm x 9 cm overall, excluding the cord, so it is much more compact than an average 2000 W hair dryer. It fits comfortably in the bag that it comes with. The bag feels quite sturdy, so it should last for quite some time. The hair dryer itself seems much lighter than most 2000 W hair dryers. It feels 'plasticky' as a result, but this is a compromise I am prepared to take to reduce the weight I carry around when travelling. It does not mean it is too flimsy though - I have put it in a corner of my checked baggage and it has survived without any issues at all despite some rough handling by both airline baggage handlers and myself. The description mentions "dual voltage adapter" but there is no separate adapter - it is just a simple matter of turning a switch with a screw driver, so it is even more convenient. Functionally, it dries my hair just as quickly as I would expect from other 2000 W hair dryers, so its performance does not seem to be compromised by it being light-weight. During first use, it smelled strange, which I believe came from the chemicals used during manufacturing process or protective coating which was evaporating from heat. It did not last long though, and within a few minutes it was no longer emitting that smell. However, I do recommend using it in a well-ventilated area if you are using it for the first time, as the smell is not exactly pleasant. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product, especially for the price I paid (£9.99, from Amazon.co.uk) but I'd have happily paid more for it.

Brought for a family member who seems happy with the product. Lovely size for travelling and has more power than her previous one. Lost a star due to the conflicting product listing about what’s in the box. Says includes a carry case but no such item is included, not in hers anyway.

My normal hairdryer is a Dyson and nothing can quite compare to the speed and quality of the dry from that. However it's price tag makes it an expensive option for travelling if it goes missing or damaged. Since it was off to a pool holiday and knew there was no hairdryer at the venue I needed something cheap, light and powerful to cope with my thick hair. Having read the reviews this seemed like a good option and it really is. It might not be the lightest of travel hairdryers but it is smaller than a standard hairdryer but still packs a punch. At 2000W it's as good as many full size dryers and did my hair much quicker than the piddly hotel ones. I did find my hair was rather flyaway and didn't have it normal sheen but it was dry in a reasonable time. It's not a day to day dryer for me but I'd have no problems taking it travelling and would recommend it to others.

Such a handy little hairdryer. I’ve used it aboard on holiday and even taken it to the gym for my post workout shower. It’s powerful for its size and does the job. The fact it’s small in size and even folds is so handy when packing a small suitcase

I am currently backpacking and needed a hairdryer to take on a years travel to Australia. This one appealed because it seemed a little nore robust than others, but still portable. I am really impressed with it and it has been great for me so far. I have been using constantly since October, rather than the more brief intervals these kind of hairdryers are normally used to and have not had any issues. I have long thick hair and the dryer is powerful enough to dry it reasonably quickly, and does not struggle with it at all. I needed something compact and not too heavy and this fits the bill for me, I love that it folds up, but still feels durable, and packs away into a case which means it is much better in my suitcase and stops having wires and plugs all over the place.

I bought this to take into hospital. Nice and compact and powerful

Not the smallest travel Hairdryer but it is light and works well
