We compared two popular 2200W ionic hair dryers with diffusers: the Remington D3190 and the BaByliss Turbo Smooth 5572U.
What we looked at
Power, ionic conditioning, attachments, heat and speed settings, warranty and cord, and price. The Remington copy sticks to its listing title, because its short feature bullets contradict the title.
The verdict
If you want two styling attachments, a diffuser and a concentrator, in a purple 2200W ionic dryer, the Remington D3190 is the attachment-rich pick, at £27.19. If you want a lightweight 2200W dryer with a large diffuser, a 3-year warranty and a 2.2m cord for about £4 less, the BaByliss Turbo Smooth is the value option.
A 2200W ionic dryer with diffuser and concentrator, but £4 more and no warranty listed.
A lightweight 2200W ionic dryer with a large diffuser and 3-year warranty for about £4 less.
