Pibbs 514 Kwik Dryer on Casters 

Okay so I absolutely LOVE THIS DRYER!!!! My hair type is that of a biracial woman and has never had a perm so its very curly. I always went to the dominican salons for the roller set but I will never have to spend my money in a salon again with this dryer! After about 50 minutes(It may not take that long depending on your hair texture and length)my curls were so silky and bouncy. This dryer is as quiet as it's gonna get and it gets super hot. This is definitely salon quality equipment at its best. Ive tried the cheap table top hooded dryers before and hated them because the air doesnt circulate, it'll just blow on the top of your hair which will cause damage and unevenly dried hair. The hood on this dryer is so comfortable and big, but be careful because you must wear a net over your rollers and you might want to wear ear protectors because of the heat. I spent alot of time reviewing hooded dryers and I'm so happy i purchased this one. Yeah its a pretty penny but worth every cent and will pay for itself eventually. If you take your hair seriously and arent afraid of doing the job yourself, this is definitely a great investment.

I am so happy I took the splurge on this dryer. I have naturally curly hair that lays about 2 inches past my shoulders. It takes me about 50 minutes to dry my air with a ion hand held blow dryer that leaves my curls frizzy. I almost did not purchase this product based on most of the reviews are regarding using this dryer or roller sets. I figured i'd give it a shot, and am so glad that I did! After washing my hair, I leave my hair long and take a seat under the dryer. I thought that maybe due to the length of my hair, it would only dry the crown. Thankfully, this is not the case! The dryer is so powerful, that even my ends get dry. It's much more quiet then anticipated - I am able to plug n my ear buds, and use my cell phone when the dryer is on. My hair is completely dry after only 25 minutes, and my curls have never looked better. I write this review as I sit under the dryer with a head full conditioner wrapped in Saran Wrap. I have not used a hair net, and don't see the need for it. The dryer does have a upward flow, but it does not suck my hair up. If you are contemplating purchasing, go for it! You will not be sorry!

I buy a lot of things so I don’t usually have time to leave reviews. But this dryer is do good so HAD to. I love this dryer. LOVE THIS DRYER. I was hesitant to spend this much on a dryer but after using it I’m very pleased with it. It’s not as big as I thought it would be, which is good. People made it sound huge and cumbersome. It’s easy to roll, and although it’s big, not so big to be difficult to put out of sight. I had a hard time putting it together at first. But customer service is based here in the U.S. and was so efficient. The young lady helping me even gave me her cell phone number to send pictures and text her for help! After realizing what I was doing wrong it took 5 minutes to assemble, maybe less. So for the average person it’s very easy to put together. It works excellent! I have very thick mixed race natural hair and it dries great. Roller set done in under 90 minutes. I say buy it. Don’t hesitate. Customer service goes above and beyond and it really works!

The Pibbs #514 Kwik Dryer hairdryer is easy to assemble and easy to use. The supporting pole is solid, and the casters are large and roll easily, even on thick carpeting. Also, it's easy to adjust the pole, up or down, to get the height you need. The dryer comes with handy 2 dials: one by which you can adjust the temperature (so you keep it from getting too hot or too cool), and the other for adjusting the timer (up to 60 minutes).
Since the air flows up & back into the heating mechanism, it's important to protect your hair when inside the dryer. For that purpose, Pibbs includes with the dryer a hairnet. The hairnet is small & delicate, so, to protect a lot of thick hair, you should purchase a larger, sturdier hairnet.
Why 4 stars instead of 5? One reason only: the hinge that raises and lowers the visor is not sturdy. It is mostly plastic. I have to slightly force the visor to move up or down, and, which, in turn, forces the hinge to move (& squeak), and I worry that the hinge will break. That hasn't happened...yet. Overall, however, I like this product so much that I'm considering getting another one to use in my NYC apartment. Good luck & enjoy!

I'm trying my new dryer for the first time and all I can say is wow! This thing is awesome! At first glance you can tell it is top quality materials. This is not a cheap dryer. It's definitely professional. It's completely adjustable in height and the dryer portion swivels all the way up, so that it can be pointed towards the ceiling. I can finally sit comfortably in a chair with the dryer behind me, not propped up on the floor with pillows, while my old portable dryer teeters precariously behind me on the couch. I use Curlformers quite a bit and a full head of these rollers can fit under the hood. I don't have to bend my head in different directions to make sure the heat is hitting all parts of my head. This dryer gets hot, and the temperature is adjustable so you can get it just right for you. It is also deceivingly quiet, which was a nice surprise. Again, my cheap portable dryer was much louder than this and didn't even come close in terms of drying power. The price tag is pretty steep and I waited over a year before taking the plunge, but it was well worth it. I'm looking forward to many happy hair years.
