T3 Aire IQ Review: A Great Hair Dryer, in Theory

I’ve ever had fluffy hair. It’s varied successful texture passim my beingness arsenic I enactment it done the wringer of bleaching it, dyeing it neon colors, heat-styling it, re-nourishing it, and repeating the process each implicit again. It’s usually a operation of curl types 2A to 3A, and I precise seldom heat-style it. But this twelvemonth I started utilizing diffusers connected a regular basis, and I was excited to effort the T3 Aire IQ stroke dryer—and its diffuser attachment.

And I weirdly ended up liking the diffuser attachment the least.

The T3 Aire IQ looks fantastic connected a bath counter. The small hair dryer comes successful White oregon Satin Blush, and it includes a dense magnetic basal wherever it tin rest. It’s got a brushed brushed casing that looks stylish without being excessively showy, and the basal has built-in retention for 2 of the 3 attachments—the Quick Dry and Style attachments. The diffuser doesn’t person a dedicated retention spot. You tin store the diffuser connected the stand, but past you’ll request to find a spot to store the different two. This annoyed maine a little. I bash similar the look of the wide package, though—displaying hairsbreadth tools tin beryllium cumbersome and they sometimes go a spot of an eyesore. The T3 Aire IQ manages to instrumentality up a tiny magnitude of abstraction successful a stylish mode (unlike immoderate overmuch bulkier dryers I’ve tested, which get chucked into a bath furniture erstwhile not successful use).

Nice to Heat You

When you archetypal crook connected the dryer, the small show lights up and says “Hello.” Choose your connection (English oregon French). Choose your hairsbreadth texture (fine, medium, oregon coarse), and past link an attachment. The instrumentality volition automatically commencement connected a predetermined vigor and velocity setting. And it’ll retrieve your hairsbreadth type, truthful those adjustments volition automatically alteration arsenic you link antithetic attachments. (Note that the dryer does not enactment without an attachment connected.) You tin besides prime the settings manually. You tin acceptable the dryer down oregon property the halfway fastener to intermission airflow (the set-down diagnostic lowers the airflow but doesn’t crook it disconnected completely, and you tin crook connected oregon disconnected the set-down pausing successful the settings). You tin take among 3 velocity settings and 5 vigor settings, and crook the ions connected oregon off. There’s a acold changeable power that you tin flip connected oregon off—no button-holding necessary. The dryer volition adjacent punctual you erstwhile it’s clip to cleanable the filter (by removing it from the dryer and wiping distant dust).

The dryer weighs 2 pounds (about the value of a hammer), and it didn’t consciousness excessively dense portion I was utilizing it compared to different dryers I’ve tried. Thankfully, adjacent if you’re not talented successful the biceps department, the exertion means you won’t beryllium holding it for excessively long, since your hairsbreadth volition adust truthful quickly. It’s besides beauteous quiet—I was capable to usage it successful my en-suite bath portion my spouse slept, a feat I haven’t managed with different dryers.
