Vidal Sasson VS505 1875W Fast Dry Turbo Dryer

Hair dryers are one of life's necessary products and even though I rarely use them, I still recognize the need and that is part of the reason I own this hair dryer from Vidal Sassoon. I rarely use a hair dryer but even with my limited usage, I can clearly see the advantages of owning a hair dryer like this one. First, it is nice to have three different heat settings and two different air flow speeds. I have owned simpler devices before that only offered two heat settings and one speed. On warm heat and high airflow, my hair is completely dry in about two to three minutes. There is a higher heat setting that would probably do the trick even faster but I avoid this setting because it is too hot on my head.

Vidal Sassoon Professional also offers special attachments and added features that make it a good choice for those with longer hair and special hair problems. One added feature is the ionizer. This is easily turned on or off using the switch on the top of the hair dryer...Read more

I have used this hair dryer for a several months and am very pleased with it. I had a perm when I first used this hair dryer and used the diffuser to avoid frizz. It worked great. My granddaughter who has long thick hair used it while visiting and was pleased with how quick it dried her hair.

With the diffuser on this hair dryer is a little heavy, but I think any hair dryer with a diffuser on is a little awkward. Now that I am no longer using the diffuser, I find this to be a very comfortable hair dryer that dries my hair quickly. I like the choice of temperatures and speeds this dryer offers.

You won't find a better hair dryer for the money!

I went to visit my mother and she had a Vidal Sasson turbo 1875 watt dryer (not this model), it was fast and I was impressed with how fast it dryed my massive amount of thick hair. I go online and buy a Vidal Sasson turbo right away but when I get it the only thing "turbo" about it is the word on the box. This is not faster than my current dryer at home with the same 1875 watts. There are 2 speeds and 3 heat settings like it says but no turbo button like I expected. Perhaps the HIGH setting is supposed to be the turbo setting, but it doesn't say that and it doesn't feel like that. It's not a bad hair dryer but the reason for the lower rating is it's just not what I signed up for. Update: After giving this dryer a chance for a month I found that it has another down side - the speed and heat slider buttons are right under where your fingers go. I constantly turn the dryer off unintentionally while drying my hair because of the placement and it's quite annoying.
