TOP 5 hair dryers with professional AC motor

The Spanish brand Cecotec has already established itself as a manufacturer of household appliances with good value for money, and this hair dryer is another confirmation of this. For a very attractive price, you get more than you could expect - a professional-level device that will become a reliable assistant both at home and even in the salon. Of course, first of all, we must recognize the merit of a durable AC motor and a power of 2200 W - the capabilities of this tandem are more than enough for quick hair drying.

But during styling, not only speed plays an important role, but also quality, because hair looks beautiful only when it is healthy. Cecotec has also taken care of this. Firstly, an ionization function has been added: a special generator emits negatively charged ions during the operation of the hair dryer, which close the scales, retain the natural moisture of the hair and make them smoother and shinier. Secondly, flexible temperature and power settings allow you to choose the optimal parameters depending on the specific type and characteristics of the hair. There are two speed levels and three temperature settings to choose from, which are regulated separately from each other. In addition, there is a button for cold blowing - it is often used to fix the finished styling.

Users also praised the build quality, stylish design and thoughtful design of the hair dryer. It is not too heavy, so it does not cause discomfort during long work. Cecotec Bamba IoniCare 5320 Flashlook is equipped with everything you need for quality work. This is a long cord (2.5 m), a hanging loop, a convenient and familiar location for many control buttons, as well as a good delivery kit with three nozzles. Two concentrators (standard and ultra-thin) will help create a directed airflow to give the strands the necessary shape - add basal volume, straighten or twist the ends. And the diffuser is useful for owners of curly hair - it will "tame" a naughty mane and turn chaotic waves into neat curls.

BaByliss focuses on the fact that its hair dryer is of foreign origin: despite the French roots of the manufacturer, the model is made in Italy. Apparently, from there she inherited a minimalistic stylish design with an advantageous combination of black and gold (to be more precise, rose gold), matte surface and glossy inserts. In addition to the fact that the device looks pretty nice, it is also convenient: the light weight is not felt during prolonged use, the handle does not slip, the long 2.8-meter cord allows you to “walk around”, but at the same time does not get under your feet, and the hanging loop is useful in storage time. All these little things are especially important if you choose a hair dryer not for home, but for professional use.

Of course, for the title of a professional device, not only useful additions are needed, but, first of all, a high-quality “stuffing”. And the BaByliss 6709DE has it: the AC motor is durable, reliable and stable, and the power of 2100 W provides an air speed of up to 106 km/h. That is, drying even the longest hair will not take much time. But the most interesting thing is that with such a high power, the model is quite quiet and does not cause discomfort to the owner and household members with its noise.

Functionality, one might say, is standard for devices in the middle price segment. Simply put, it has everything you need for effective drying and high-quality styling without harm to your hair. Two high-speed and three temperature modes are regulated separately, which is very important for choosing the right settings depending on the type of hair. It is unusual that there is no separate button for cold blowing on the case - it acts as one of the temperature modes. The air is really cold, and the very decision to get rid of the extra button is quite successful, since you do not have to constantly hold it down. Although, of course, no one is safe from accidental clicks.

Ionization has become a familiar function for modern hair dryers. In this case, it automatically turns on while the device is operating, and, again, no buttons need to be pressed for this. Ions remove static electricity, smooth fluffy hair, add silkiness and shine to it. In addition, they help the hair retain its natural moisture and prevent overdrying.

The hair dryer comes with two nozzles, necessary for a beautiful styling. The diffuser will add volume to your hair and shape the wavy strands into tighter, neater curls. A narrow 6mm concentrator paired with a round brush will help straighten hair and curl the ends.

The prefix ProLuxe in the name of the model indicates that we have an expensive professional hair dryer for salon hair styling. The manufacturer has added several technologies and additional features for a more gentle impact on the health of the hair, and also “pumped” the main characteristics for more efficient operation.

It is based on a professional AC motor with a high power of 2400 W, which forms an air flow at a speed of up to 150 km/h. In plain language, this is a real beast in a fairly compact body that quickly and efficiently performs the tasks assigned to it. Depending on the length of the hair, drying and styling takes only 10-20 minutes, which is one of the main benefits for most users. Agree, no one wants to spend a lot of time on their hair, especially in the morning, when everyone is already in a hurry to work or study.

The Remington ProLuxe AC9140 offers two power levels and three separate temperature settings to help you find the optimal settings. The built-in generator releases ions that prevent tangling and electrification of the hair, as well as making it smoother and more manageable. In addition, the OPTIheat intelligent technology is announced, which provides uniform heating, eliminates overheating and overdrying of the hair. Of course, its effectiveness is difficult to verify, but the overall result is really pleasing: the hair dries quickly, looks healthy and well-groomed, does not fluff, and the styling lasts all day, or even longer.

The main difference between the model and most competitors on the market is the additional Style shot mode. It activates the most powerful yet gentle flow of hot air to quickly shape your hair and keep your styling for a long time. The opposite is the more familiar True Cold blowing, which can be used to consolidate the result.

Together with the hair dryer, the buyer receives as many as three nozzles. There is a diffuser for shaping curly hair, a concentrator for straightening, and a specially shaped 7mm concentrator for increased airflow and concentrated heat transfer.

It is also worth noting useful little things for more convenient use: a removable grill, which will facilitate the cleaning of internal parts from debris and tangled hair, a long 3-meter cord and a loop for hanging.

The hair dryer belongs to the middle price segment and fully pays for every penny spent on it. When developing it, the manufacturer set two goals - to reduce the time spent on drying and styling, but at the same time make sure that the heat and power do not harm the hair. And he did it.

The “heart” of the device is a professional AC motor, which is usually used in expensive devices and is valued for its stable operation and long service life. It is complemented by a thermal fuse that protects the motor from overheating. Also, the model has a rather high power of 2400 watts. This means that more electricity will be consumed, but drying hair will take less time due to a stronger air flow. In addition, a heating coil is installed inside, which guarantees a constant temperature, thereby preventing overdrying of the hair.

In addition to the duration of drying, Sencor SHD 8200GD will take care of its quality. With the ionization function, the hair is easy to comb, does not become electrified, becomes softer and smoother. For added protection, the dryer uses argan oil and keratin to enhance the look of the hair while adding shine. There are also more standard parameters: two power modes, three temperature settings, their separate adjustment and a separate button for turning on cold air. Good helpers during styling will be the three nozzles included in the package: a diffuser and two concentrators(narrow and wider).

The hair dryer is designed for both home and professional use. For more comfortable operation, it is equipped with an ergonomic non-slip handle, a long 3-meter cord with a hanging loop and a removable grill that allows access to internal elements when it is necessary to clean them from dust and hair. True, keep in mind that the device weighs almost 1 kg, so it is felt in the hand, especially during prolonged use.

The Philips Pro range hair dryer belongs to professional-level devices, so it is chosen both for home use and in salons. It is made with high quality: beautiful design with golden accents, durable material, ceramic coating of the heating element, AC motor, which, as stated, lasts up to 1500 hours, so the device will last for more than one year.

The power of the hair dryer is 2300 W, and the air flow speed reaches 170 kilometers per hour. Simply put, drying your hair with such a “beast” takes less time: just a few minutes for short haircuts and about 5 to 10 minutes if you have long and thick hair. But with such power, there is a nuance - the hair frays and scatters to the sides. If you are a hairdresser and do the styling not for yourself, but for the client, there will be no problems, but the owners of short hair will have to adapt.

In addition, the device is quite noisy and heavy, so after a while both the hand and the ears get tired.

In total, 6 different modes are available: 3 temperature and two speeds. Hot temperature will dry your hair as quickly as possible, and with sparing (ThermoProtect) you will spend a little more time, but the effect will be minimal. Feels like the air is softer and does not dry the strands. There is also a gentle drying of almost dry strands of Cool Care and a cold blow to fix the styling. At the same time, the temperature is below room temperature, so this mode will be especially relevant in summer. A separate button is provided for it, but it will have to be constantly clamped. The ionization system will remove static electricity, the hair becomes silky and does not get tangled. It turns on automatically and cannot be turned off.

The buttons for switching modes are "recessed" in the case, but despite this, they are easy to touch during drying.

The dryer comes with two concentrator nozzles. The first is 8 mm, the second is 6 mm, narrower and longer. It has an interesting design: on top there is a special lid that opens automatically in case of excessive overheating. As a result, excess heat is dissipated, and the hair and scalp are not burned. With the help of such nozzles and a brush, you can align the strands or slightly twist the ends.

In addition, the Philips HPS920 has a 3-meter long cord that allows you to use it anywhere and a removable grill for easy cleaning.
