Strange Hair Dryer

My wife and I needed a new hair dryer and when we saw this model for VINE's review we agreed to test it. The first thing we thought upon unpacking it was that it was broken because it wouldn't turn on. That's because we haven't figured out the controls: you have to hold down the start button for a while. This is not a fatal error, but it was the first of many confusing facts about this dryer. We thought: why not just make an easy switch? Why is there a "press and hold" button? As we started, the light in the bathroom started flickering. We consulted with a friend who is an electrical engineer and she told us that the device is likely drawing more current than advertised, which is overloading our bathroom circuitry. We don't have this problem with other devices, including older hair dryers. So that's another confusing issue: why is the light flickering? Obviously, we don't feel comfortable using it in such circumstances. Also, learning the various other controls and navigating the numeric settings up and down seemed like an unnecessary hassle to us. We are much busier in the mornings when there is little time to just grab a good hair dryer, just get it going and do our hair. We explain this because you may be looking for those extra features in this hair dryer. boasts: the ability to gradually adjust the heating and air speed. You might like the features, although it requires more fiddling with the device. For us, however, this dryer only causes irritation.
