Customer Reviews of Revlon RV544 1875 Watt Tourmaline Ionic Lightweight Dryer, Silver/Black
Customer Review: Not same league as a professional dryer, but excellent value
Summary: 5 Stars
I also have a professional BaByliss Turbo hair dryer ($200). I bought this Revlon model because I wanted a lightweight spare for travelling. I've compared the two on a very thick head of hair.
The BaByliss is quieter, hotter, and blows with more velocity. It comes with a nice long cord. It dried a full head of long hair in 5 minutes.
This Revlon model is quieter than a generic Conair dryer, but I wouldn't say it's super quiet. It get's hot enough, and has adequate velocity. It is definitely lightweight.
Nonetheless, the Revlon dried the same head of hair in 6 minutes, with similar "ionic" results.
Overall, hey - you get what you pay for. But, for $25 this hair dryer is an excellent value. It does the job very well. I'm going to buy another one for a gift. I'm fairly impressed with it (given the low cost).
Customer Review: Can't afford the big boys? Get this.
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't afford the $200+ price tag of some of the other hair dryers, so I tried this one instead. I was surprised at how good it was in comparison. My very thick, shoulder-length hair was dry in less than 10 minutes - my former dryer took 20 - and it was smooth, shiny and sleek. Other dryers made my hair puff out like a pyramid, and lifted every split end. It's very light. My hair with this dryer looks fantastic. I wish I had switched long ago.
Drawbacks? It's a little loud, the switches turn off easily when you're holding the handle, and the hot setting is really hot. But all of these things are minor complaints and worth dealing with.
So, if you don't have $200 to spend on a hair dryer (who does?), get this one. It's 90% as good as the top-end ones, the extra 10% better isn't even that noticeable, and your hair will look fantastic.
Customer Review: BROKE AFTER 7 WEEKS
Summary: 1 Stars
I liked this hair dryer when I first got it. Worked well, although I didn't think the tourmaline made any difference.
After using it twice a week for 7 weeks, it just stopped working. I tried the reset button -- nothing. I waited till the next day to try again, with the same results. I didn't drop it, I didn't get it wet. Nothing was done to it and yet it stopped dead.
I called Revlon and was told I could return it to them for an exchange. However, as it cost me $18.99 when I purchased it last Nov., and it would cost me approx. $8 to return it and another $5 for them to return it to me, I didn't bother.
I am extremely disappointed in this blowdryer and will never purchase anything from Revlon again. I guess this is just more junk made in China. I'm going back to my 25 year old Gillette dryer.
Customer Review: Makes me look good for less $!
Summary: 5 Stars
This dryer is a really good value. I was willing to spend more, but hesitant to shell out the money for a T3. Unfortunately, there just isn't much in-between. After checking the reviews, it seemed many of the negative reviewers seemed to expect this to be AS GOOD AS the T3. I'm sure I would like a T3 if I had one, but I think my hair looks pretty great with this one. I have a lot of very fine hair which takes a while to get completely dry. This dryer is probably the quickest I've used and gets it pretty smooth. Those are my main requirements of a dryer. The loudness and weight of the dryer aren't terribly important to me, so I can't say whether I would recommend it to anyone looking to fill those criteria. It doesn't seem overly loud, and I can get through drying my hair without my arm aching, so that's good enough for me.Customer Review: Not worth $15
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this dryer at a local drugstore when they had them on sale for 50% off so it cost me $15 + tax. The first one I brought home didn't work at all, so I returned it and got a second one. The second one never worked right, but since I threw my old dryer away as soon as I opened the first one, I TRIED to use it for about a week, before ordering a new one and throwing this one away. The switch to change between high and low speeds is a rocker switch (not a sliding switch) with high on the top, off in the middle and low on the bottom. NEVER did it work. Once used on high, I could turn it off, but not switch to low. After a couple of days, it switched to low, and then never switched back to high again. Junk. I ordered the Conair Pro (the orange one) from Amazon, have been using it for a couple of weeks, and like it SO much better.
