~A dryer that can't even blow hot and cold!~ ********************************** Having had a mid priced Boots hair dryer in use in the past for at least 5 years with no issues of any note (until sparks flew and the rear part of the dryer began sending out some nasty black smoke, making my Boots dryer totally useless), I felt that it was worth checking out what was on offer at Boots to replace it with. After a good number of years of use I felt my Boots dryer had given me value for money so I was more than happy to go off and see what more recent hair dryer models had to offer. When I came across the ultra compact box that contained the Boots Essentials ...  Read the complete review

This is such a simple hairdryer that there is actually not much to say about it, good or bad but as I have had it a few years now it has obviously lasted well and compared to some more expensive ones that I've had in the past I have never had a problem with this or how it has performed. This hairdryer is small but not a travel hairdryer, rather it is classed as a compact hairdryer. I go away a lot at the weekends and as I'm a girl always have to take my hairdryer with me and these fit nicely in my bag. They do not fold up like travel hairdryers do but the head is so small that it is not a problem. The hairdryer is a black plastic colour and looks very simple. ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this hair dryer four years ago now. As a skint student, my faithful (and heavy) hair dryer had packed in all of 2 days before the law ball (I was most aggrieved...) So with the last few pounds of my pay check one week, I headed down to boots. On the shelves amongst all the fancy, branded (read: expensive) hair dryers, was this one. It immediately appealed to me, as my main deciding factor was price! I paid about £7 for it at the time, although I imagine it would have increased proportionately now! I picked up the fairly plain, boots branded box (white, with a picture of the product on the front and a fairly stating the obvious description of what ...  Read the complete review

I originally bought this hairdryer when I went away to Skipton for the weekend for a wedding and I'd forgotten to bring mine with me. I went to Boots and picked up the cheapest one I could find just so I wouldn't have horrendous hair at the wedding. It was £7.49 at the time, I believe, but has gone up and will now set you back £9.99. I loved it so much that when my other hairdryer gave up the ghost a year or two ago, I didn't bother replacing it and just carried on using this little travel one. The hairdryer is plain black with a folding handle that tucks in so you can take it away and it doesn't take up too much space in your case. It has an attachment to ...  Read the complete review

My daughter is getting to the age where she is starting to care more about how she looks - in partiular, she spends a lot of time now fussing over her hair in the mornings. She was constantly asking to borrow my hairdryer, but I was quite wary of lending it to her as it was a (rather expensive) gift from my parents a couple of years ago, and my daughter isn't the best at looking after other peoples things. So, I decided to get her a basic hairdryer of her own, and the first place I looked was Boots, where I chose the Boots Essentials hairdryer, costing just 7.99. As you'd expect for that price, it's very basic - all black with a small white Boots logo, and ...  Read the complete review
