Comparison Hyundai H 2200 Expert vs Hyundai H 2000

The power normally consumed by the building dryer during operation. This parameter primarily determines the scope of the tool, as well as its performance, temperature and heating rate: more powerful models are better suited for large volumes of work, they produce a more intense air flow (see "Maximum Productivity") can be heated to higher temperatures and heating up is faster. At the same time, it must be taken into account that high power also has a downside: heavy weight, large dimensions and high cost of the tool, as well as a serious load on the power grid and significant electricity consumption. Therefore, when choosing by this parameter, it is worth proceeding from what work it is planned to use a hair dryer for and how important high power is for them. And don't forget about other features. After all, even the most powerful tool will be useless if it cannot provide, for example, the required temperature.

The number of outlet air temperature adjustments provided for in the design of the heat gun. The adjustment itself is an almost mandatory function for such a tool — after all, different types of work and different types of materials require their own temperature values, and without it you can either “underheat” or “burn through” the workpiece. The more adjustments provided in the design of the hair dryer — the finer the temperature settings, the easier it is to choose the mode that is optimal for a particular task. At the same time, it is worth noting that in this case we are talking about step temperature control, while the most advanced option today is smooth control (see below).

The lowest air temperature that a heat gun can produce when operating in normal mode, in other words, the lower limit of the operating temperature range. Accordingly, the lower this limit, the wider the range, ceteris paribus, and the more versatile the tool: after all, for different jobs and temperatures, you need different ones. Some modern hair dryers have the ability to "cold" blowing, without heating.

The highest outlet air temperature that a hair dryer can provide. As with the minimum temperature, this parameter determines how wide the operating range of the tool is and for what range of work it can be used. High operating temperatures are important not only for refractory materials — they can significantly speed up the processing of large surfaces. On the other hand, it is worth considering that for strong heating, appropriate power is required, which affects the weight, energy consumption, and often the price of the hair dryer.

The ability to smoothly change the temperature of the air supplied by the heat gun. The meaning of temperature adjustments is generally detailed in the relevant paragraph above; here we note that smooth adjustment has a number of advantages over stepped. The main one is that the outlet temperature in such hair dryers can be adjusted very precisely, and at will, and not in accordance with the fixed values \u200b\u200bthat are set in the manufacturer's settings. Among the disadvantages of this option, one can note a higher cost than most step regulators — despite the fact that in fact high tuning accuracy is not required so often, usually in professional work.

This option allows you to completely turn off the heating element, leaving only the fan running, or reduce the heating temperature to a minimum of 50 °C. The cold air mode is necessary for cooling heated parts. For example, a stream of cold air will allow you to quickly cool the seams of hot melt adhesive. Most often, the cold air mode is represented by a separate position on the temperature mode switch, while cold air will be carried out at one single speed. But some models allow you to turn off the heating element by hardware, in which case cold blowing can be carried out in a wide range of speeds.

The presence of its own display in the design of the heat gun. Usually, this is the simplest black-and-white LCD screen for 3-4 characters, sometimes with additional graphic indicators. However, even such a screen significantly increases the ease of management, making it more informative. Various additional data can be displayed on the display, both basic (temperature, fan speed, etc.) and auxiliary (for example, error notifications). At the same time, screens are inexpensive, so they can be found even in low-cost-level heat guns.

The total weight of the tool. On the one hand, heat guns are held in the hands during operation, which means that a lot of weight is undesirable for them — heavy devices are less “agile” and tyre the operator more. On the other hand, too little weight can mean low quality materials, a small thickness of insulation and, accordingly, unsatisfactory safety performance. Therefore, in most modern models, the weight is at least 500 g, and in the most advanced models it can exceed 1 kg. Also note that some "heavy" hair dryers may have a design that allows you to install them on a flat surface during operation.

If there are additional nozzles in the kit, the weight of the tool without them is usually indicated.
