The first one lasted five years and the second lasted 4 1/2 years. That's roughly $6/year which allows me to justify replacing the unit with the same model. That and the fact that the mount is already on the wall. Of course, we still have our backup hair dryer which is a Gillette Pro-Max that I received 30+ years ago when I was sixteen. That one is still going strong. Rating: 4 / 5 We’ve owned three of this model hair dryer now. The first one lasted five years and the second lasted 4 1/2 years.

This helped for a little bit but it completely burned out. We had it about a year which is as long as the warranty is good for. :( <br /> Rating: 4 / 5 As the other reviewers all said, it does work well while it lasts.

The first one lasted over 4 years, and has seen extensive use. I stopped using the first unit when it made grating noises on high. There was never a noise on low. Dryer functionality was never compromised, but I felt a new one was the prudent course of action, and retire the old one. I would highly recommend this model. It is easy to install, convenient to use, and the nightlight is a bonus, expecially if you are prone to make nocturnal visits to bathroom in the middle of the night. It puts out very good heat, and high an low are different enough in velocity/heat to enable one to make a choice for different situations. A fine product.

Lantz Tue, 15 Jun 2010 14:16:43 +0000 http://www.myhair-styles.com/hair-products/conair-134r-wallmount-dryer#comment-21366 After seeing one of these at a motel, decided we needed a wall mounted hair dryer. For our small bathroom, it is very convient and easy to use. Mounting was simple, all hardware provided. <br /> <br />We liked the wall mount as it saves time not having to take a dryer out of the drawer, then out of a case and plug it in. While not as powerful as the older dryer, the time saved just taking it off the wall base and turn it on makes up for it. That's all. Take it off, turn it all and you are receiving a blast of hot air. <br /> <br />Another feature is that it comes with a night light that does go off when the bathroom light goes on. Would recommend this highly. Rating: 4 / 5 After seeing one of these at a motel, decided we needed a wall mounted hair dryer. For our small bathroom, it is very convient and easy to use.

It's 1600 watts supplied ample drying power, and the unit even has the ability to be shut off from the handset... a feature I am very fond of! The problem; they don't last! My first one lasted about 9 months and then began to continually overheat and shut off several times during my styling process. Blowing into the back got old pretty quick, and in the hope that I just got that one lemon, I decided to order another. I've owed my present unit for not quite a year now, and a few days ago I went to turn it on, and it just wouldn't. Terminal. I find myself again in need of a new wall mounted hair dryer, dreading removing this one and remounting the next. I'm presently seeking a better made model, after all, if you're going to mount something on your wall, you want it to last more than a year, no?

I've used this model dryer twice a day for about 3 years and finally burned it out. This is my second purchase of the same exact dryer. I highly recommend it as it really does a quick job and keeps the frizzies down to a minimum.I also bought one for my daughter and she loves it, too. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a terrific hair dryer!!

The power is good. My only disappointment is that I thought it had 3 settings for the power. It only has 2, medium and high. I wanted one that also had a Low power setting for finishing. The heat settings are excellent. I had a Wigo and I like this one much better. Rating: 4 / 5 I like the Hair Dryer very much as it is very light. The power is good.

My hair has been coming out frizzy lately so when my old hairdryer died I decided to spend a little more for a higher quality one. This hairdryer definitely helps with the frizz factor, however I am disappointed in the amount of time it takes to dry my hair. I'm not sure what that other reviewer is talking about. I think it actually takes longer than the last hairdryer I had. Also, there are two sets of buttons on the handles (they are more like toggles). There's not much room for your thumb on the handle and the buttons are frequently hit while I'm blowdrying. I don't hate it, but for what I paid, I don't love it either.
