Hot Tools - Soft Bonnet Hair Dryer

This hair dryer (The Hot Tools Soft Bonnet Hair Dryer, Model 1051) was a big disappointment. After only three uses, the bonnet area where you place the hose ripped and the hose falls out. The hose is very short and makes it inconvenient to find a comfortable position to dry your hair. Also, there is air that leaks out from somewhere along the air hose which means that I have to sit for 2 hours to dry my hair. Very poor quality.

I have been searching for a bonnet hair dryer for about five years at the various stores in Pittsburgh. I am from the old school (smile) and I love to use a bonnet hair dryer when I curl my hair, it is convenient and it holds the curl better. I decided to look on Amazon and I found this hair dryer and I read all the feedbacks of all the dryers for sell. I love this hair dryer, it has quality and it was a very good price. The heat is great!!! I think some people expect portable bonnet hair dryers to have the same heat capacity as a professional hair dryer in the beauty salons and this isn't going to happen, if you need a longer cord just use a extension cord. I liked the fact that the bonnet was easy to use, the hose was not a big struggle to work with either. My hair turned out great and this is a great value for the money. The seller was excellent with the customer service and shipping

this product is good if you seldomly use it. Well I need to use it once a week and now that I've had it for about 2 months, the hose connection doesn't connect to the bonnet. ALL the hot air blows out of the bonnet. OK, how can I dry my hair now? you can't reconnect the connector to the bonnet at all. not even with crazy glue! HORRIBLE quality and it takes FOREVER to dry my hair and that's even if it drys at all.

The motor/blower unit is actually quite good, but the air tube is not long enough. Where the tube meets the soft bonnet is a very weak area and when heated up to highest temperature becomes weaker. The bonnet does not provide even heat to entire head. If they could perfect the air tube and bonnet, this unit would be worth the price. It's so hard to find a good soft bonnet hair dryer! This would be perfect for traveling if it just did what it was supposed to do.

Had to send the first one back and got another because the motor sounded so loud I thought something was wrong. Tried out the second one, the motor is still very loud, unlike other Hot Tools hair dryers I have had. Nothing against Cosmetic Solutions, but I think the product is not very good. Guess I keep it and hope the motor gets quieter with use.
