Hair tool that costs ‘less than a takeaway’ dries ‘so efficiently’ is now 65% off

The Remington Ionic Dry 2200 Hair Dryer has three different heat settings and speeds

Although Amazon’s Spring Deals Day sale event is over, the shopping giant is still offering some incredible offers on a range of products, including a Remington hair dryer that shoppers have been ‘blown’ away by – literally. The Remington Hair Dryer Ionic usually retails on the Amazon website for £55.99 but is reduced in price to £19.99.

With 64% off, it’s a great opportunity to get a salon-quality hairdryer for a fraction of its usual cost. The hairdryer, which comes complete with concentrator attachment as well as diffuser attachment, is a simple yet ‘powerful’ tool that has garnered an impressive 4.6 star rating from shoppers for leaving ‘hair smooth and shiny’ and ‘frizz’ free.

This is thanks to the gadget’s integrated ionic conditioning, which the brand claims to leave hair with a sleeker, smoother texture and finish. The Remington Ionic Dry 2200 Hair Dryer is powered by a 2200W motor that delivers fast styling with three different heat settings and speeds.

Shoppers who have snapped up this deal have been left impressed with its drying abilities, stating they favourite it over more expensive models like the Dyson Supersonic Nural™ hair dryer, which typically retails at £399.99. They said: “Seems very good, my teenager likes it. Why pay over £300 for a Dyson? It only blows hot air.”

Although it’s important to mention that the Dyson does have a few beneficial features that justify its more designer price tag. Built with a scalp protect mode, the device helps ensure a 3x stronger scalp barrier, while it also comes with intelligent heat control to maintain an optimal temperature and prevent heat damage. It is also equipped with five magnetic attachments, from the flyaway smoother to the styling concentrator.

For those who want something a little more streamlined and simple, BaByliss’ Salon Pro 2200W Hair Dryer has a similar makeup to the Remington model is on sale for £35 from £40. It also boasts ionic frizz-control and heat-balancing tourmaline-ceramic technology for a smooth and silky finish.

That being said, Remington’s hair dryer has received some high praise from beauty fans who have hailed it as ‘the most fantastic hairdryer to ever have been built’, with one user remarking: “I am someone who has gone from using an older non-brand hairdryer to now having a powerful one. The difference is amazing. This dries so much more efficiently than the others I have used, e.g. gyms, hotels, or my parents’ one that I was using before.

“The hairdryer has 3 different heat settings. 1. Slightly warm 2. Really warm 3. Tropical Thunder It has 3 speed settings 1. Children’s breath 2. Warm breeze 3. Hurricane Remington.”

They added: “When I dry my hair, I also have my dog behind me looking like a slow-motion Wella commercial with her hair also being blown, so not only do I get to have dry hair, but my dog gets a wind turbine experience. Remington makes good stuff. This hairdryer is brilliant, and I am glad I own one now.”

Another raved how it gave them ‘salon’ worthy locks and wrote: “It’s really quiet yet powerful if you want it to be. It has three separate speed settings and three heat settings independent of each other, so you can set up the perfect amount of heat and speed to suit you. The cable is nice and long, and it’s not too heavy. Overall, I am so impressed that it prompted me to leave this review. I would say it is the best hairdryer I have ever used.”

Someone else echoed the sentiment and said: “A £20 Miracle Worker. This is actually my second Remington hair dryer — my first one, bought way back in 2018, is still loyally puffing away after years of daily use. The only reason I “retired” it was because the nozzle got a bit rebellious and refused to stay on (clearly it’s seen things). I now keep it as a spare, just in case my new one ever needs moral support.

“Naturally, I bought the exact same model again — for the grand total of about £20. Honestly, that’s less than a takeaway, and it’s been blowing my mind (and hair) ever since. I use it every day, and my hair looks great.

“Moral of the story: you don’t need to spend hundreds on fancy dryers that claim to use unicorn ions or whisper to your follicles. Sometimes, a humble Remington is all it takes to look fabulous.”

While most comments have been positive, sharing how they’re impressed with the quality given the price, one person found the tool to be a bit too strong for their liking, leaving a three-star review, which read: “Airflow too powerful even on the low setting, blows your hair out of shape.” Another contradicted this statement and said: “Not powerful.”

Although the majority have found it works like a dream and love how it is ‘quiet, lightweight and works well’.
