Conair 1600W Dual Voltage Travel Dryer

The Conair 1600W Dual Voltage is the hair dryer that's lived in more travel toiletry bags than any other, and the current version is better than the model that built that reputation. The voltage switch is now prominently placed on the handle where you'll see it before plugging in, not hidden under the motor housing. At 1600W on 110V it dries medium-length hair in 8–10 minutes. The fold-down handle gets compact enough for a quart bag. Ceramic filter coating provides reasonably even heat distribution. At this price, if it gets lost or confiscated at security, it's a non-event.
