does not work after a year
I did not buy it from Amazon, but i would like to warn people of this faulty product. I had it for about a year and then one night while i was using it, i saw a bright, red glow coming from inside the dryer, and then the dryer suddenly stopped. I thought it overheated so i put it down for a bit. After waiting for a few minutes, i turned it back on and it didnt work AND i could smell smoke coming from the dryer. So, bye bye dryer...i will not be buying Revlon products ever again.

Too Hot
I have owned this hair dryer for about 6 months and use it daily. I just noticed a large spot on the plastic near where the air comes out that is deformed from being melted. I turned it on and noticed that inside the dryer this spot was glowing. Will be returning it.

Dangerous
This dryer gets too hot. Even on the warm setting it must be moved very quickly while being used to avoid burning your hair. But there is a worse problem. The coils are too hot for the casing material and the casing is melting. And just in case you are wondering, no, I don't ever use the concentrator that restricts the airflow. Can't imagine what might happen if I did.

do not buy
I purchased this hair dryer 5 months ago and the end melted because it gets too hot. Yes I use the diffuser, but it comes with the product and it should not melt when used. Avoid this product.

Burned the living hell out of my hair!
Is it possible to give a product zero stars? That's what I'm trying to do. If the app doesn't let me, then one star will have to suffice. I have owned this hair dryer for less than 6 months. I have never used the concentrator attachment. I agree with the other reviewers that stated that the dryer becomes too hot. The end is melting, the inside gets bright red (and sometimes I see white sparks), and best of all, my hair is now completely fried from using it. I consider myself lucky that I never actually lit my hair on fire while using this dryer, but I think that's a distinct possibility, what with the shooting sparks. Don't buy this dryer!
