Customer Reviews of Vidal Sassoon VS783 1875-Watt Professional Anti-Static Ion Dryer and Styler
Customer Review: Old model was better
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this dryer at a retail store when my VS model #VS-540 burned out because I figured this was the new and improved version. Well it's not! It's shape makes it very difficult to hang on to, it's bigger and heavier, and the cold shot button is right in the way of where your thumb has to rest and I keep hitting it when I'm using the dryer when I don't want to hit it. Thankfully when I searched online for the VS-540 model & it was still available on Amazon so I bought two of them. Luckily they still have replacement combs that fit both model numbers available through Helen of Troy, since they do break very often. For the people having trouble with theirs overheating, this happens when you get it too close to your head/hair and it blocks the vents. I found if you blow on the air intake vents or wave the dryer back and forth, it cools off and restarts very quickly!Customer Review: From unkempt poodle to sleek afghan hound...
Summary: 4 Stars
I have long, thick, curly hair. Think Kerri Russell without the full time stylist. The humidity where I live makes it very hard to style and even harder to hold the style. Enter this jewel. One handed styling with the comb attachments works wonders and the ionic technology dries my hair faster, shinier, and straighter than anything else I have ever used. A few small issues: the brush attachment is absolutely useless. I would have preferred a concentrator. The fine tooth comb, necessary for a smooth finish, is starting to loose its teeth after only four months. When I have tried to use the dryer without any attachments, it overheats, but this is easily resolved by simply keeping one of the combs on at all times. I love my new soft and sleek look and feel that my hair is healthier than ever before.Customer Review: Attachment might fall apart
Summary: 1 Stars
The hair dryer is good, But if you're like & me want to use the attachments, you should know that the bristle/brush attachment is very low quality. After one use, half of the bristles fell out. When I tried to get a replacement, the company told me that the attachments are not covered under warrenty and that I would have to buy a new one. Like im gonna buy another one and watch the same thing happen again?! Yeah right! I feel really ripped off cause that was the main reason I bought the hair dryer. So if you buy it, just know that that attachment will be useless.
Update: The company offered to send me a complimentary replacement! Isnt that nice? I will make another update if anything changes. It wont let me change the star.
Customer Review: Great Dryer, But.....
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the best blow dryer I have ever had. It's fast and leaves my hair straighter than the others did. It is loud, but it's fast so who cares. It does stop when over heated but that's a good thing folks. It could also mean that you are placing too much heat on one area of your hair. When blow drying, you have to keep the dryer moving constantly. When the dryer stops, I blow into the vents to cool it off and it comes back on within seconds - so I don't know where some of these 5-10 minutes cooling times come from. My only major complaint is that the combs need to be more sturdy. This is a powerful dryer and the combs cannot withstand the heat.Customer Review: Sensitive ears?
Summary: 2 Stars
This hair dryer is the LOUDEST appliance in my entire house. I can only tolerate the lowest setting - Any higher than that and I have to put in ear plugs, it's THAT loud. And the low setting really doesn't kick out the kind of heat I need to straighten my wavy hair. Also, the bristles on the brush are totally wimpy. They're made of cheap plastic that's supposed to look like boars hair, which simply don't grab the hair well enough to do the job. AND - The handle of the dryer is too fat to easily grab and my hand gets tired before my hair is dry. All these things combined - Think twice about this one before buying. I definitely wouldn't do it again.
