BaBylissTravel Folding Hair Dryer - Lightweight and Powerful 2000W Blow Dryer, Dual Voltage, Worldwide Use, 2 Heat/Speed Settings, Black/Orange, 5334U

I bought this hairdryer to only use for travel, but it actually dries my hair so much smoother than my actual hair dryer, so now I'm just using it all the time. It takes a little longer, especially as I have very thick hair, but totally worth it for how much better my hair looks.

Had an older version for years, very reliable but worried about it clapping out when I’m away - hence buying the new one. Small (folds up) and lightweight - importantly for me, anyway, is it is very powerful.

I keep this in my van and use when i go away. It travels great and is just the right size. its powerful too.

Decent length cord, handle folds down so easily fits in suitcase. This has been to hotels with me both abroad and in the uk and it’s more powerful than the ones found in the rooms so you’re not waiting forever for your hair to dry.

It is quite a compact hair dryer for 2000 W. There are many smaller travel hair dryers but they are almost invariably less powerful, which I find takes too long to dry my long hair, so this hair dryer seemed very attractive.When it is folded up, it measures 20 cm x 14 cm x 9 cm overall, excluding the cord, so it is much more compact than an average 2000 W hair dryer. It fits comfortably in the bag that it comes with. The bag feels quite sturdy, so it should last for quite some time.The hair dryer itself seems much lighter than most 2000 W hair dryers. It feels 'plasticky' as a result, but this is a compromise I am prepared to take to reduce the weight I carry around when travelling. It does not mean it is too flimsy though - I have put it in a corner of my checked baggage and it has survived without any issues at all despite some rough handling by both airline baggage handlers and myself.The description mentions "dual voltage adapter" but there is no separate adapter - it is just a simple matter of turning a switch with a screw driver, so it is even more convenient.Functionally, it dries my hair just as quickly as I would expect from other 2000 W hair dryers, so its performance does not seem to be compromised by it being light-weight.During first use, it smelled strange, which I believe came from the chemicals used during manufacturing process or protective coating which was evaporating from heat. It did not last long though, and within a few minutes it was no longer emitting that smell. However, I do recommend using it in a well-ventilated area if you are using it for the first time, as the smell is not exactly pleasant.Overall, I am very satisfied with this product, especially for the price I paid (£9.99, from Amazon.co.uk) but I'd have happily paid more for it.

Neat hairdryer which folds up so takes little room in my suitcase. Very good value. Highly recommend.

As my main Babyliss hairdryer has been reliable I decided to go for this travel model. Generally travel hairdryers seem to have mixed reviews but this seemed well-reviewed and has performed well in use. Travel hairdryers by their nature are less sleek and quiet than the larger versions and this sounded like it was trying very hard, but not in an alarming way. There was no sign of overheating or any other problems.The one available heat is fine and my hair ended up very much as it would with the main dryer. The folding handle makes it nice and compact for packing.

The perfect travel companion, this doesn't take up much space at all and folds in on itself.Pros:✅ Instantly kicking out warm air✅ Folds away nicely✅ The low heat is a perfect temperature for not damaging your hair causing split endsCons❌ Louder than other portable hair dryers I have used❌ Slightly larger than other portable hair dryersNeither of these really impact my star rating, so for what it is, it can keep 5 stars.Because it is smaller than a normal hair dryer, I don't own a full sized on anymore, and just use travel ones.
