Pros: Was cheap, still works after 3 years, neat-o snowflake button. Lights up!
Cons: The handle, I don't like how it snaps apart easily.
The Bottom Line: Was cheap- I think 5 bucks, and never gives me any trouble. Would be great for travel or every day use.

| elgatolocorojo's Full Review: Revlon 1875 Watt Radiance Lighted Travel Dryer Rvh... |
I don't know how to write a lengthy review for a hair dryer-but I'll try to be informative. I bought this hair dryer about 3 years ago and it hasn't given me any trouble.
It has 4 settings. Off, low, high and a blue button with a snowflake on it for cool. There isn't too much difference between low and high- but you can tell when you change it. The blue button you can push while you already have the dryer running, and it makes the air cold instead of hot. You can't hold it down for a very long time and expect it to stay cold, eventually, in about 15 seconds, it starts to blow hot air again. I'm not even sure what it's for, but I use it to cool off my face when I get hot from the hair dryer- I guess that's what it's for!
It has a light inside of it that lights the entire barrel up- I think that's just a "wow" factor, because it's not really a flashlight sort of thing, and I can't think of why you'd need a flashlight in your hair dryer in the first place.
The one thing I can say for it is it doesn't over-heat and shut off like so many other hair dryers I've had in the past would do. I think it has to do with the vented part of the dryer, it's not just a grill on back of the barrel, it actually wraps around to the sides, and I'm assuming helps it cool off and get more air.
I've had it for several years, and never had any trouble with it. The only thing I'd change is that I don't like the handle to bend in the middle. The way I grip the hair dryer, my thumb usually ends up pushing it over so I have to stop and put down my comb in my other hand and push the dryer back together.
