Most Helpful Positive Review So worth it I am so pleased with this hair dryer. I've been using this for over a week now , and this is my first smart dryer and I'm impressed. The design is great, it's not big and bulky, easy to hold , and doesn't make your hand tired from using like some dryers can . I love the white color, it's very modern and clean looking. At first, I was worried that a magnetic diffuser extension would easily come off while using , and I was proven wrong because it holds really well and stays on the whole time . Another really great feature is the controls on this dryer. There's an on switch, a rolling switch to control the air flow, and controls for the heat intensity too . This is fantastic that you can customize how you dry your hair , and change it to exactly what you need . There's also a cooling button to lock in the style as well . To me, the coolest feature is the automatic shut off as soon as you set the dryer down when you need to take a quick break while drying to brush through a section or whatnot. Then as soon as you pick up the dryer, it will continue drying . This is literally so much easier, and fast for hair styling. My hair dries perfect every time, and dries smooth, and healthy as well. I love this product, it works so well, and does a fast, and effective job . Compared to other dryers I've used , this is by far the best one .
Most Helpful Critical Review This is most impractical dryer I've ever owned This dryer is the most aggravating piece of styling equipment I've ever owned. The super long handle is difficult to hold and the on/off switch, airflow control and heat controls are placed in such a way that you can't help but hit them accidentally while holding the dryer. The dryer (way overpriced by the way) does not come with all the accessories that normally come with a hair dryer. I have curly hair and use a diffuser every day. I've never purchased a dryer that didn't come with one, but with this one you have no choice. And it's expensive!! Speaking of accessories, these are magnetically attached - just barely. They fall off at the slightest touch which is, again, so aggravating. Apparently, a big selling point is that the dryer cuts off automatically when you need to put it down to section your hair and turns back on when you pick it up. I've spent way more time picking the diffuser up off the floor than I ever did switching a hairdryer on and off. I do not understand all the positive reviews for this thing. Worst piece of styling equipment ever. Period.

Read all the negative reviews before you buy this hair dryer 1
Jemsmith from IA
I bought this dryer when it was advertised on Today Show steals and deals. It didn't even last a year, turned off sporadically often, and it's so awkward to use because it's top heavy. To counter the weight you try to hold it up higher on the handle which makes you hit the heat control buttons all the time. It's not worth the money at all! My cheap dryers have lasted forever but I thought this one was "the one". Buyer be warned!!!
DANGEROUS 1
Susan from Boston, MA
DANGER, DANGER, DANGER, DO NOT BUY this hair dryer. This is a replacement dryer by Ulta on 12/28/20. Lets face it I really didn't use it much during the Pandemic. Sadly, I used it this morning & could immediately smell electrical & it had sparks & grey Smke coming from the blower. This is the SAME description of the faulty product I had previously returned. SO DANGEROUS! I cannot believe this appliance is still being sold, someone os going to get hurt. Terrible, dangerous product! What a waste of $$$$$. BEWARE!!!!
Absolutely horrible! 1
Mandyyy from Michigan
I got the dryer because I thought it was cool that it would shut off if you would set it down without pushing the button. Well, the whole time using it, the heat was never steady, it was cold air most of the time, it would randomly shut off to cool itself down, and it took twice the time, if not more, to dry your hair.
Do not buy 3
amie from dixon,il
This sounded like the most amazing hair dryer. mine stopped working after 2 months. Smelled like the motor burned up as I was using it and stopped air flow. Even working as designed it took forever for my hair to dry. Better results with my old conair one.
Would not buy again. 1

I don't love this dryer. It's top heavy, the controls are right where your hand is holding it so they are always being messed with. The air flow doesn't turn down that low. Went back to using my Dyson.
Better dryers are out there 2
BT from Idaho
I bought this because I read all the great reviews. Well, I don't love it. It does not seem to dry any faster than my 6yr old Babybliss dryer. Yes, it is true that it shuts off randomly. It is really annoying when your in a hurry, and it makes it difficult to multi task because you have to constantly adjust where your hand is and the air is flowing. I wish I hadn't bought it.
I'd buy it again 5

Best dryer ever! This drys my hair super fast about 1/4 time needed with my old dryer. I love it!
Absolutely in love with my new dryer! 5

I love my Instyler 7X blow dryer so much that I actually just bought this one and the diffuser attachment for my twin sister. I love that if you lay the dryer down it pauses. I don't really like that the attachments are magnetic because if you bump it it falls off and that they don't have a comb attachment
Product isn't worth it 1
Hair challenged from VA
Way too much money for inconsistent performance. May be faster but it shuts off arbitrarily. I have cheap hair dryers that still work after years of use. Sorry I bought this.
Not thrilled with it 1
anonymous from Upstate NY
I bought this product through Steals and Deals on the Today Show. The first unit I had quit working after the first use but was replaced under warranty. I have been using the second one I received for a few weeks now and I just don't like it. It stops working intermittently in the middle of blow drying my hair, it doesn't get that hot even on the highest setting so it doesn't blow dry my hair quickly, and the buttons on it are very sensitive. I don't feel like it works any better than blow dryers I have used that are 1/3 of the price. I am very disappointed as I was really looking forward to using a high quality blow dryer for the first time ever.
DONT DO IT! 2
anonymous from New Boston, MI
I have yet to be able to complete my hair style using this product. IT DOES NOT STAY ON WHILE TRYING TO DRY MY HAIR! It is supposed to shut off when you set it down, but it really just shuts off whenever it feels like it. No matter the angle, no matter the setting - shuts off while drying. I have to pull my old Revlon mini-dryer out of the drawer to finish the job. If it weren't for such a great air-drying quality I would rate this a ZILCH. Too bad it wasn't perfected before putting it on the market for public FRUSTRATION. I see other comments regarding the same problem.
This dryer stopped working after 6 months! 1
Debiam from Venice FL
I was so disappointed when I plugged in my hair dryer and it was dead only had it 6 months!
I did like how you could adjust heat and speed but will get a different reliable brand next time. I have had hair dryers last 10 years!
I would buy this product again!! 5

To dry my hair.
inferior product. 1
anonymous from nyc
i have had this product about 1 month. i have used it 2 times. 1st time it stopped in the middle of using it. 2nd time it wouldn't turn on at all. it was purchased through steals and deals on the today show. the team at instyler refused to to accommodate a return for me on an inferior product. DON'T purchase this product. instyler is not a reputable company. giving no stars was not an option.
Would buy again!! 5

Not what I expected, extremely pleased. I don't feel the weight if it is different then other blow dryers. My hair is less frizzy when using this as well. Would buy products again!!

Am I going something wrong?? 4
anonymous from Laredo, Texas
This was a stand by purchase, didn't want to be caught suddenly w/o a dryer. I tried it out as soon as I received it. It quickly became my go to, except it turns off when in use even when before setting it down. I wonder if the auto-shut off could be bypassed. I have thick shoulder length hair and this dryer really cut down on drying time.
Love this dryer!!! 5

I love that this dryer is so powerful! It dries my hair in half the time! Highly recommend it!
FANTASTIC NEW ERA OF BLOW DRYING 5
anonymous from Charleston, South Carolina
Firstly, I have very thick hair that has a bit of natural wave to it & I've always wanted that "super sleek" look. My search is over! After having had Cervical Spine surgery on my neck I've lost the ability to reach my upper back and my shoulders started to cramp with my previous dryer due to it's awkward design and weight. The 7x has enabled me to dry and style my hair in less than 5 minutes! I definitely suggest that you give it a try!
The verdict is still out 4
anonymous from Upstate New York
The verdict is still out on this one, as I have only used a few times and not sure if I just need to get used to it. I have very fine hair so maybe that it is meant for people with a really thick full head of hair. Not crazy about the "dial" as it is hard to know where to keep it. My finger keeps hitting the cool shot while I'm using this dryer. It shuts off while I am holding it in a concentrated area. Annoying. Also, it does NOT always shut off right away when it is set down. The dryer is advertised as quiet but it is ANYTHING but quiet. My whole family says it is way louder than my old $45 dryer. It is a decent dryer, but for the price is should be A LOT QUIETER than it is. I wish the cool shot was an actual button, or that is was located in a different place on the handle.

Awesome Hair Dryer 5

This hair dryer takes 1/2 the time for me to get my hair dry and styled. After drying I have to do very little to my hair
