I have a feeling that my hair dryer is going to kick the bucket soon, amazingly it has lasted 16 years of being dropped on the tile floor at least once a day, and I am researching the new tech. 
The Dyson thing looks super cool, should make a good gift for my upcoming b-day… But it is $400 in the US and is not available until the fall, and the UK models are different voltage!!!
So when the old Conair dies… A new $25 Conair will step into its place.
