I am considering adding a hair dryer and diffuser into my routine because I'm tired of having wet hair for hours and hours after I wash it. Even just to get it to a damp stage and significantly shorten my drying time.

I've never used a hair dryer on my hair before because I grew up thinking I couldn't on my curly hair, but I've done some research and saw how people in the curly hair community do it do so it works well with their hair.

That being said, I've looked into which hate dryer would be good and not super expensive and I keep coming across this one. But when I look it up to purchase it there seems to be at least 3 different models, and they all kinda have mixed reviews which makes me nervous. Has anyone here used more than one of the infiniti pro conair hair dryer + diffuser models and can recommend one over the other? Thanks!

I have a Conair 1875 that has finally, after 20 years, shit the bed (still functioning mechanically, but the back vent cover is all but gone and I'm afraid it's gonna suck my hair in and make me suddenly bald, lol). It's ok, because Christmas is almost here and my wishlist is -empty- My favorite thing about the 1875 is how insanely quickly it can dry my hair. If I turbie towel first, my hair can be fully dried inside of 5 minutes. If not, inside of 10 minutes. It's serious heat! I would love to find something with as good of a quick-drying quality.

I totally missed the ionic hairdryer trend like a decade ago. Are those still a thing? Are they worth it? Is there a new thing? Ok there's a Dyson air wrap and the Shark thing, but I don't ever want to do a straight blowout or smooth wide curls; I have naturally wavy/curly hair and I embrace it as is!

RECS??? Also there must be a pronged diffuser attachment or I will weep. I heard T3 is good? Is it?

I bought a Dyson hair dryer recently from Costco when it was on sale from my local Costco. Informed by Costco employees that they locked up the dryer in the supply room due to stealing/people opened boxes. Got it anyway. I went home open it up (seals still intact), plug it in, didn't work. I put the serial # on Dyson website and it showed it was the 1st generation (Unsure what is the current gen right now). Called Dyson support and was directed to exchange at Costco for faulty product.

I went to a different Costco 15' away from my local one to see if they have the "lock up" issue there. Turned out there was a whole pallet of Dyson hair dryer. This time it worked! I entered the serial # again on Dyson and it showed a different model (Maybe the newest generation?). I deep dived in the r/dyson and was surprised my first one might be a counterfeit, which is unbelievable because I got it from Costco, not some random sellers. Here are some differences between the faulty one and the new one I got:

Anyone bought a Dyson from Costco and had the same problem? Will cross-post this in r/dyson
