Tested this dryer one time to see how it packed and the heat. I decided to stick with the dryer. I currently own as it traveled just fine also. This dryer weighs less than 1 pound and reduces frizz with continued ions. It also stops when you said it down so you can style and not keep turning it off and on. Twist to fold down which makes it wonderful for packing or commuting. Non-smoking, toy, poodle friendly home.
