dam good point!!! hmm i wouldnt recommend if i thought of this.. should i remove this post if i think that its not worth it? and how do i even do that?
Just use a decent adapter.
Don't use an adaptor unless you're actually travelling- these things draw 10A.
Snip off the EU plug and put on a $5 AU plug from Bunnings or similar. Much safer electrical connections.
could do that true
bought this 6 years ago around $250-280 mark. used it almost everyday, still going strong
Recommend for sure, also read somewhere when I was purchasing it has a Ferrari engine Lol
or at least its motor is made by a company that makes motor/engine for Ferrari
I have the heavier version ( Parlux 3800) and highly recommend this brand. It’s going on 11 years and still going very strong with daily use. I think it was around the $250-300 mark back then.
Same. Mine is 3800 been going for 13 years, going strong, almost daily use. Beautiful red colour
Genuine question but I mean motors and heating elements dont really die easily or often, every cheap dryer ive ever known anyone has owned has lasted 5+ years so whats the difference between this and a $20 kmart hair dryer?
I've found cheap hairdryers also last forever, but one difference I've noticed is sound.
Cheap hairdryers are loud AF, and are used right next to the ears. Once I had kids, I got more concerned with health stuff and figured years of having 90dB next to their heads every day for decades wouldn't be a good idea.
As an adult, our senses are fairly dull. My kids used to flinch away from sounds like hairdryers and bathroom hand dryers.
The much more expensive hairdryer I bought is noticeably quieter.
Come to think of it, of all the cheap dryers my family has had, or my parents, we've never had a single one fail. The one at my parents' place is probably 20 years old.
Cheap / domestic ones don’t go as hot as Italian made hair dryer.
Have you measured this?
Because hairdryers are rated by watts. Practically all that energy is converted to heat, because blowing a tiny little fan takes maybe 10W max.
2000W cheap hairdryer and 2000W to expensive hairdryer are going to produce similar if not identical amounts of heat.
And there's a limit to how hot you want a hairdrier- after a certain wattage you're going to start burning your hair or exceed the limits of your electrical wiring.
I bought one of these 5-6 years ago and as others have said - it's a greatttt hairdryer. It's actually a pretty standard salon hairdryer which was why I bought it.
These were the best of the best hairdryers before the Dyson models came along
My hairdresser worked in a few high end salons and only recommends Parlux brand. I've had one for 10+ years, still going strong. They also have a good noise dampener. Dyson are probably better but also much more exy.
Is it an EU power plug?
