Philips Advanced BHD290 (BHD290/00)

Beautiful and Powerful

Philips offers a reliable "workhorse" for daily use with a reasonable price tag and high power — 2300 W. The combination of power and high speed allows you to save time: drying and styling will take 5–10 minutes depending on the length and thickness of the hair.

However, the hairdryer will not only be a good helper in everyday procedures but will also please the eye with its appearance: the gentle pink color combined with smooth white lines is sure to be liked by the female audience. Although, despite its elegant appearance, the device is quite bulky and heavy and will start to feel in the hand over time. And you definitely can't call it quiet, especially at maximum power.

ThermoProtect Technology

The model has two air flow intensities (gentle and strong) and two temperature settings (hot and warm). In addition, there is a cold air flow available for final setting and ThermoProtect technology for effective drying at a constant gentle temperature. Many mainly choose this last function, as it protects the hair from overheating. For additional shine and smoothness (especially in winter when hair becomes static after removing hats), there is ionization. The manufacturer claims that the hairdryer generates 4 times more negatively charged ions compared to other models. Whether this is true or not, no one counts, but the hair is indeed soft and silky after drying.

Concentrator and Diffuser Included

For styling, the hairdryer comes with two attachments: an 11-mm narrow concentrator and an asymmetrically curved diffuser with long "fingers." However, they are plastic, so massaging the head with them is unlikely to work, but they do well in creating volume and curls.

In addition, the model has a removable filter for quick cleaning from dust and hair, a hanging loop, and a 1.8 m cord. Of course, for more comfortable use without being tethered to the outlet, a longer cord would be desirable.
