Category Contenders & Field Comparison

Price-wise, the CONAIR 247W Handheld Corded Electric 1875 All and the CONFU Ionic Blow Dryer 1600W are in a dead heat this week. You will not spend noticeably more on either one, making everyday usability the deciding factor.

Here is an interesting angle from our weekly numbers: the Slopehill Professional Ionic Hair Dryer usually sells in a higher price tier, but it has temporarily dropped right into this same ballpark. Check the baseline figures in the comparison below to see if you can get a higher-spec model for similar money.
