I have thick hair that takes a lot of time to blow dry, so when my last blow dryer stopped getting hot, I researched this T3 because every magazine I turned to recommended this one again and again. I was highly skeptical of spending this much on a blow dryer, especially because I've previously been pretty non-discriminating about my blow dryers, buying them at drugstores, etc. However, reading the reviews & seeing again and again how much it cut down on drying time and improved the look of people's hair convinced me to give it a try...especially because Overstock had it so much cheaper than any other website. After trying it for a couple weeks, I am THRILLED with the T3. It has absolutely cut my drying time down at least by half, if not more. It's super light, and while it gets hot, it doesn't blow a lot of hot air at you to get your hair dry. I went with the warranty through Overstock, just in case, but hope I don't have to live a day without this dryer again.
