Hot Tools Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer By Tina Lehman on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
Sparks began to come out of the end of my old hair dryer just as Christmas approached last year. Luckily Santa was good to me and brought me a Ceramic Ionic hair dryer from Hot Tools!
This hair dryer is really nice! It has variable heat and speed settings, probably 6 or 7 of each, which is a lot more than the traditional 'hi' and 'lo' speeds, and the 'hot, warm cold' settings you normally see. You can set the air to have an ionic charge as it comes out, which is supposed to reduce static electricity. I was skeptical that it would work, but it did! The dry winter air no longer had a flyaway hold over my hair! Thank you Santa!
The highest heat and speed setting is farily quiet, and not-too-hot. The lowest setting is perfect for kids' hair.
A nice thing about the digital setting on this dryer is that wherever you set it, it stays there when you turn the dryer on the next time.
My main complaint about this dryer is that the buttons are hard to push. I use this dryer to dry my hair and my daughter's hair, so I have to swtich the settings often. You can't really feel the buttons with your fingers, so you have to look for them to adjust it. Then you have to press fairly firmly for a second or two before the setting changes. If you do not have to change the settings much on your dryer, this won't be much of an issue.

Santa is such a great guy! Sounds like a good dryer with some nice features. Maybe, the stiffness in the buttons will wear off in time.
Sparks are never good where hair is concerned, remember what happened to Michael Jackson? I like that this dryer has hot warm and cold rather than speeds. Might have to check this one out, thanks.
I'm in the market for a new blow dryer! Mine has definately seen better days! This one sounds like something I would really enjoy. Thank you for sharing!
You must have been a very good girl to get this from Santa! I think it's great that it has so many heat settings. I love my dryer but it only has HOT or if you hold in the button you can have COLD. Not much of a choice huh? I think this one is a winner!
I love the Hot Tools brand. I own their ceramic flat iron and curling iron and have had very good luck with both.
This sounds like a great hair dryer, I desperately need a new one.
This really sounds new to me: "set the air to have an ionic charge as it comes out, which is supposed to reduce static electricity" in a hair dryer !!Very innovative indeed. thanks for sharing that knowledge.
With the buttons being so hard to push, I would have a hard time using it. Thanks for sharing all the information about this dryer. I think I will avoid this one.
Hot Tools is great-I have had one of their dryers before-it's so quiet but packs a punch!
Never heard of this brand before, but will keep it in mind next time I need a new hair appliance.
