After carefully
reading the questions and reviews of many travel hairdryers, I finally narrowed
the choice down to two worthy contenders--the BaBylissPRO TT and the Conair
MiniPRO. I ordered both, and the following is a comparison of the two.
First off, they are both excellent travel hairdryers, easily besting my old
heavy, bulky travel dryer that was about 20 years old and had gotten sticky
with age (why does the rubberized coating on some items inexplicably
deteriorate spontaneously into a gummy mess?) These new ones have much more
airflow (I estimate about the same from both, maybe slightly more from the
Conair, but hard to say with no way to objectively measure it as I don't have a
anemometer.) Neither has as much airflow as a typical full-sized hairdryer, but
that is just physics, and the trade-off for portability. They both seem to get
about as hot, although the Conair might be a smidgen cooler on both
settings--it is close. The Conair handles 220 volts by locking out the
"high" setting, thus only having one heat/airspeed setting abroad.
The BaByliss has a true 220 volt setting, with both low and high settings
functioning abroad. Both are relatively quiet, but the BaByliss is not quite as
shrill nor quite as loud. The BaByliss is smaller, not by a huge amount, but
definitely smaller. The total weight (dryer and cord) of the Conair is about
0.2 ounces less (I consider that an insignificant difference), apparently due
to it's 10 inch shorter cord! (The body of the Conair weighs more than that of
the BaByliss.) They are both covered with a similar texture & color grippy
finish, that I hope does not get sticky over time like my old dryer. The
BaByliss has a removable back cover to allow cleaning of the lint screen, the
Conair does not. The Conair, as of this review, is about $12 less expensive
than the BaByliss.
So there you have it. I think that if you are pinching pennies and are willing
to give up the low setting when traveling abroad as well as a little extra room
in your suitcase, the Conair is the better value.
But if you are like me and want that dual setting abroad, smaller size, and a
longer cord (at essentially the same total weight), you will find the BaByliss
the better dryer.
The only alternative travel dryer that I am aware of having true dual 220 volt
settings is the Brookstone, and that is about $54, larger, and heavier. I'm
keeping the BaByliss.
