In the previous post I stated that I would start informing you dedicated reader (that's you, Alex) about more than just my fleeting musings. Well, without further ado, I introduce my first thing: a hairdryer.
Hairdryers in general are nice enough, and their concept is simple to understand (a fan forces air through a tube and over one or more twisted heating coils to produce a flow of hot air - this is then pointed at your head to dry your wet hair) but the hairdryer that I'm talking about is no ordinary 'dryer (as they're called in the trade).
The Philips TRESemmé HP4882/07 Salon Control Ionic Hairdryer 2000w is a one of a kind beaut (please note that this is hyperbole for effect, the HP8190 is a similar model, and in fact newer so probably better too). Whether you want a cool breeze or a volcanic gale, with 18 different settings permutations (through three different adjustable switches) this dryer will easily be able to provide. In addition to these unbelievable 18 settings, there is an "ION" control switch, which engages a fancy blue light on the top of the tube, and... well that's all really (though the scientists claim it will reduce frizziness).
This model is also renowned for its outstanding Chinese build quality. Made from strong, solid... uhm... plastic and with an aluminium rear intake guard, this reliable model will suit all your holiday/adventure travel needs. It has a 3 metre rubber encased chord ending in a standard, ASTA approved 3-prong plug (depending on your location), so can be used close to and far away from the wall.
No matter who you are, this is the perfect dryer for you: available in a total of one colour scheme, this durable and versatile instrument is both an excellent and affordable day-to-day hairdryer as well as wonderful addition to any avid collector's set.
A superb item, worthy of 4.5 stars
-UPDATE-
I have recently been contacted by a concerned reader who notified me that the company which sells the above mentioned thing has gone out of business. However, if you are interested in finding other things of a similar ergonomic nature, a good place to look is here. Thank you for your understanding.
