Any recommendations for a new one?

It depends on what you are looking for. Price range and type of hair that you have.

 

I have long, naturally curly hair and wanted to wear it natural most days.  I bought a Diva Curl hair dryer from Ulta and love it. It also has a regular nozzle to dry/style it when I want to go with a straight or sleek style.  

 

I wouldn't mind a Dyson hairdryer in the near future, but they are expensive and first model generation right now. Maybe QVC will have one as a TSV, then I would be tempted.

 

I am hard on hair dryers and need a salon quality brand.

I have short hair and it doesn't take long to dry my hair.  I go with the cheapest.  No way am I'm paying $100 for a dryer.  I don't need any special technology.

I have a Supersolano($100), a T3 Evolution ($200 and way better than the T3's out now) and a GHD ($250 plus $30 for the diffuser). My fav is the GHD. I tried the Dyson ($400) and did like a few of its features. My reason for not keeping it was the diffuser. I diffuse my hair 5-6 days/wk and I didn't care for the diffuser - way too shallow. I like a deep bowl diffuser, Dysons is way too flat.

I am a BaByliss fan.  I own the travel dryer in red sold at Target.com for $29.99.  It has the power of a larger dryer and it is super lightweight.     Cat Very Happy

I have a curly perm, so I use a diffuser daily.  I definitely prefer a deep bowl and fingers with holes in the ends to get the air down to the roots.  My Revlon hair dryer recently died and I bought an Xtava Black Orchid diffuser ($14) and it is da bomb.  The only con is it doesn't fit all hair dryers, but it does have a removable ring that allows a slightly larger diameter dryer.  I got a Hot Tools Tourmaline Tools 2000 Turbo Ionic Dryer ($50).  It fits perfectly and I couldn't be happier.  I never have to use more than the lowest speed and medium temp.  Got them both on Amazon.
