Review on Hair dryer Philips HP8657 ProCare, beige by Aneta Postek ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I should have looked better, spent money on an ordinary product.

After using a styler manufactured by the same firm for five years without issue, I made the decision to replace it and after much deliberation settled on this particular model. Disappointingly, one feels let down. You can get used to its heavy and enormous nature as well, but the loudness is going to drive you crazy! It is inconvenient for me to blow dry my hair late at night, even in front of the neighbors (I am not referring to people living in the same home as myself). In addition to this, I have long, wavy hair that has a tendency to become fluffy as it is drying, which can make it difficult to hear. And there is absolutely no way to modify it; the power is reduced only when the temperature is lowered. They simply blow the strands off the brush, and that's all there is to it. The force of the wind is so strong that it is even impossible to twist the hairs as they remove them. Perhaps, given my crooked hands, the problem lies with me. I have fixed up my old brush and continue to use it. The only benefit is that you can use it if you need to dry your hair very rapidly, in which case you certainly can. If you don't go deaf. In addition, the volume nozzle operates effectively. Purchasing is not something I encourage doing. There are variants available that are not only less expensive but also lighter and more energy efficient.

Pros
  • Made to a high standard, as expected from Philips, with a multitude of nozzle attachments, a cord that does not become tangled, a carrying pouch, and a variety of operating modes.
Cons
  • It's extremely cumbersome, it's very loud, and it blows too much.
