How loud is it? I have purchased hot air brushes before that are so loud you don't want to put it next to your ear. Also, are there ions? My fine hair doesn't do well with ions and it doesn't say anything so I'm assuming not but want to be sure. Thank...

Hi! this is my third one. I think it is a great tool. I use it everyday and there are two speeds. I am not bothered by the sound. My hair didn't do well with the ions either....and this one is great.

The question is how do you quantify a "very loud" noise. What may seem loud to you may not seem loud to me at all. Of course, with age, most things are not as loud as they were! I would suggest going to a store that has a shaver display and run one to see how it compares to yours. Mine does make noise but it is not too loud to me. You can also see if anyone posted a video shaving (I think there are several) to hear the noise as well. Good luck.

Having been surrounded by loud dryers at show I have found this one to be fairly quiet. I have read many reviews about it being loud but compared to many, many others I have been around it is NOT loud. My Golden actually likes this better than my personal hairdryer. Hope that helps. I really have been impressed with the quality of this little dryer.

M, I love this stuff. It smells great, it does make my hair soft and does last all day. That is if your hair is pretty healthy to start with. I think this product really enhances what you already have with a little kick. Also I deal with static as you and it can be a real pain. I don't use this product each and every single day, plus my static usually hits me in winter when I am running the heat in the house. I do think it would help, but with any product out there I do not believe there is ever a sure thing for any problem one might have with their hair. I'd still personally give it a shot. If you purchase it, let me know how it goes for ya. Take care... Chris M, I love this stuff. It smells great, it does make my hair soft and does last all day.

Pretty loud...just like my old one. I got it mainly for the 'not so hot' HIGH heat. It's good in this area. I just turned it on so I could give you a good answer...it's loud. I'm still looking for one that is less forceful and less loud. The low heat is not loud at all and does a good job. With my thin hair I don't have to use the high heat very long before turning it to low heat. I do like this unit better than my old one...the regular high voltage one. Hope this helps.

Oh, yes, the cool setting blow is pretty good. I like it a lot and I use it a lot, because I have very fine hair and I don't want to burn it additionally with hot air. I also use sometimes the cold button and it is a wonderful option, especially for summer. Hopefully I answered your question and my answer was helpful to you.

Sounds like it's defective. I would contact the company. Mine works pretty well, tho I haven't used one in this price range before. The attachment of the brush to the motor sometimes vibrates loose while in use. I bought a couple of extra brushes so hope the unit lasts a while. The included travel brush is less robust, but performance is ok.

Yes, the ionic makes a "clicking noise" and is supposed to be better for your hair. It has been many years since I owned a regular Caruso steamer. If you shop around - like on Amazon, you can get a better price so the cost factor is rather insignificant.

Glad you asked. I have fairly fine hair but do color it which gives it volume.Best spray in the world is Rusk W8less Plus hairspray. I have tried them all. Try it, you will love it!

Our dogs are giant breed and relatively young (ages 4-7), so I'm not comfortable answering about old dogs. The noise is rather like a hissing sound (like an exaggerated form of the sound aerosol hairspray makes) and it releases a calming pheromone. It's not loud (not like an airhorn or anything like that) but for some reason the dogs find it an unpleasant sound and after a bit they stop. As to biting the groomer, I might suggest you talk with a dog trainer for ideas on that. We've had great luck with the Petsmart trainers in our area in helping solve some of our rescue dog issues.

It is pretty loud, but it moves a ton of air! I use it in my workout room and the noise is fine. If you plan on using it near a TV or while sleeping, it might be a little too loud.

This will not remove all the hair particulate out of the air, so you will still have issues with the allergies. There are two settings that will remove the odors. UV and Ions. The ion charging is the most effective; however, the most dangerous to pets and humans. You should not run the ionizer for several hours before a room is occupied by pets of humans. I have one of these in my kids bedroom where her dog ( Pug) spends most of his time. I don't run the ionizer, but at full fan and UV and it does a pretty good job keeping the orders down.

How is it with sound? I may be one of a few, but I like my fans to make noise because it blocks out the irking street sounds of cars going by and loud music. I'd rather have fan noise than that irking noise!

its as loud as most commercial vacuums - it hits right in the range of the hearing damage i have so i do wear ear plugs with plungers (better than the squish ones) and ear muffs. then its ok for me. it has the power equal to a commercial back pack. we were janitors for 12 years. my experience is start protecting your hearing as often as possible. damage is a cumulative thing don't let it even start.

It blows hot air. The bristles are wire, does not tangle. I think it works 100% better than the plastic ones. I dry my hair a bit, then finish up with the hot air brush. I can't do without it!!!!

Well, those questions are a bit relative. I own two of these and I'd say they're not too loud on low and medium, on high they're naturally a bit louder. They do make some clicks when they oscillate so they're not whisper quiet. In regards to heat, I don't think I'd recommend mounting one in an extremely hot place since there is a lot of plastic on them, but I don't know what kind of temperatures you're talking about.

Yes, my wife just purchased this steam hairsetter and it also has the clicking sound when on the ion setting.
