It meets all the claims when it works; after about 10 months, its starting to die. It will quit heating for a while, then start heating, then quit...an so on. After trying it with an extension cord from a different, more modern, electrical plug, the problem seems not as bad. I wonder if they circutry was cheaply made and can't handle ANY minor normal power fluctuations. I don't expect the unit will work though the end of the month. Buyer beware.
See below: these guys get real crabby when their distributor middle men arn't getting the cut they think they diserve.

I saw these hair dryers in the store a while ago, and thought it was nuts to spend close to a hundred dollars on a hair dryer. There was nothing wrong with my $30 model; my hair dried just fine. This hairdryer, though, works so much better!
A few weeks ago, I went to a spa and while I was drying my hair, I noticed -it was so conspicuous -how quiet the dryer was. I finished drying my hair in what seemed like less time, and left the spa feeling like the treatment left my hair softer and smoother than before. I thought it was just the spa environment. The next day I bothered to notice the brand of the hairdryer, and was recognized the "chi" brand.
I came home and bought the hairdryer, knowing I could return it to the store if my experience didn't duplicate the experience I had at the spa.
I still have the hairdryer. The dryer is much more quiet, it dries my hair faster, AND it does leave it smoother (it wasn't the spa products or their water!). I wish I had bought this years ago.... it is so very much worth it.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. This model is great. Maybe the $200 model is better, but this one is good enough. If I were to lose the dryer tomorrow, I would go out and repurchase it again quickly. It really is that good.

The heating element broke on 3 different units after less than 9 months of continuous use. This product is a lemon.

This hair dryer has completely changed my ability to manage my mornings! I have 2 young children and a 45 minute commute so, as you can imagine, I don't get much time for myself in the morning. Well, now I don't NEED time for me. I used to spend at least 3-5 minutes drying my layered, shoulder-length hair and then from 5 and 10 minutes getting it styled properly. The CHI 1300 hair dryer dries my hair in about 45 seconds, and it no longer requires separate styling the dryer works with my hair's natural texture and leaves it shiny, soft and needing only some pomade to look finished and gorgeous. The volume and body last all day no more bad hair days. It sounds silly to say an appliance can really improve your life, but this one has. Well worth the expense!

I've owned this hairdryer for about a year and a half. It is well worth the higher price tag. It is the ONLY hairdryer I have ever used that has decreased my fly aways and made my hair feel smoother and healthier. I did have a piece on the inside of the hairdryer come loose about 6 months ago after a small tumble from the bathroom counter, but the manufacturer honored it's warranty and replaced it. I've had no problems since then.

This is by far the worst hair appliance I have ever purchased. It was a complete waste of money. It does nothing to my hair absolutely nothing. I could also hear it frying my hair. Very disappointed. Do not waste your money on this.
