HELIOS™ 1875W ADVANCED PROFESSIONAL HAIR DRYER

I bought this over two weeks ago as a replacement for my very old (10yrs ) Air hairdryer. I listened to the sales person who said it was the best to have as the Air's would probably be discontinued soon and the Helios was much better. Unfortunately I have to disagree. Yes the Helios does dry really quickly, but unless you are are professional and used to speed and tension, I found this just made my hair difficult to style. The moisture was gone. If I changed the blow speed down, my hair just turned frizzy so it's kind of all or nothing. It didn't make my hair any smoother than the Air, probably worse if I'm honest. There was no life or bounce after drying. Whether this is due to the new motor technology used, I have no idea. The speed switch has to think about changing up or down a level when you're selecting which speed you want, give it a second - it gets there in the end! So I guess this button is either faulty or just badly made. I see another review states the same thing. For the extra ££, I definitely do not feel I have bought a better product or a quality product and remain very disappointed. I loved my Air, that was definitely the best dryer I have ever owned. So much so, I will be putting the Helios in a drawer and forgetting about it. I can't return it to the store as it's classed as a 'personal grooming product'. And I have just placed an order for another GHD Air.

I bought this products a few months ago and let me tell you… it’s the best blow dryer I have ever purchased!!! I have told my friend and family to purchase this product!! You will not be disappointed with it!! I hope to try other products of GHD! I’m pretty sure if this blow dryer blows me out of the water the other products would do the exact same!

I am a hairstylist and bought this for work. The heat, speed and weight were all satisfactory, but the dryer didn't last long. My dryer just died today, after using it for 1.5 years. The speed control broke a few months ago and the dryer was always on "high", then last week I could feel that it was no longer getting as hot. Today it has a burning smell and stopped running. I regularly clean the lint trap and have never dropped the dryer. This is the shortest-lived dryer I have ever had in 10 years. Going to change brands for my next purchase. Sorry, GHD. I will love your curling irons FOREVER though.

This hair dryer is truly a piece of art. It is gorgeous from top to tail, and the attention to detail is impeccable. Beyond that, it’s an excellent hair dryer. It’s super lightweight, dries hair quickly, and leaves me with smooth, silky hair. And GHD tools are built to last! I think this dryer will be with me for a long time.

This blow dryer is absolutely amazing! The quality is great, and it’s super powerful! You save so much time with it!
