This dryer includes everything you’d expect from a top quality hair dryer —multiple attachments (including a diffuser), two speeds and three temperature settings. But what’s really great about it is the nanoe technology that draws moisture from the air to hydrate your hair as it dries to help avoid that crispy feeling and keep your hair smooth and shiny in the process.

As far as budget dryers go, this one is at the top of the heap. Ionic technology helps keep your hair smooth and the six heat and temperature combinations assure you’ll be able to customize the settings to exactly what your hair needs. And as far as other comparable dryers go, this one delivers faster drying speeds.

Unless you’re already invested in the hair styling world, you may not have heard of the Harry Josh dryer. But if you are, then you know it’s basically an icon and the go-to for many professionals and hardcore home dryers. It’s popular because it’s incredibly lightweight yet still powerful, with twelve possible heat, temperature and ion settings for a lightning-fast dry no matter what hair type you have.

You’ll find plenty of features wrapped up in the well-priced hair dryer—things like ceramic technology to keep your hair from frying, multiple speed and heat settings, and an elongated nozzle for added air pressure. The best feature, though, is that it is fast—as fast as models twice the cost or more. It’s not the fanciest dryer out there, but it’s a solid option no matter how often you dry your hair.

Good things come in small packages and this compact travel-sized dryer is no exception. You’ll find all the features you want in a dryer like multiple heat and speed settings, a cold shot button to lock in your style and ionic technology to help reduce frizz. The wattage is high, which means it’s powerful for such a small dryer, and you can’t beat the low price given all the features and attachments (including a diffuser).

The last thing you want when you’re drying your hair is to be stuck in the bathroom for hours trying to power through. This compact yet powerful dryer blows air at 75mph for an ultra-fast dry with ionic technology to cut down on frizz and increase shine. It also has all the features you’d expect from a professional-level hair dryer at this price point, like multiple speed and temperature settings and a cold shot feature, plus a concentrator attachment.

The best thing about this small dryer is that it’s so tiny and lightweight you can take it anywhere—it even folds up and fits into a tiny bag. Use it at home to dry your hair quickly with the aid of two speed settings, but keep it in your suitcase or even your gym bag for when you need a quick style on the go.

This dryer is a go-to for home dryers for one simple reason: you can’t beat the price. For such a low price you’d expect minimal features, but this dryer has the multiple heat and speed settings, ceramic coating, ionic technology and diffuser attachment of luxury models ten times the price. If you’re a beginner or just don’t want to shell out a higher price, this is your best bet.
