Afar Lightweight Travel-Size Hair Dryer

Bought this in June 2023 for travel only. Has only been used 46 times and like the other reviewer the cold shot button is stuck in and the dryer doesn’t get hot. Emailed manufacturer and the best they can offer is 15% off a new purchase, no offer of a repair, and I suspect this is a known fault. Will not be purchasing any T3 products in the future. My Parlux main dryer is 10yrs old, used every week and still going strong.

Bought this less than a year ago, good size and lighter weight than full size one. Unfortunately, cold button got stuck and no warm/hot air would come through. Requested a replacement and ended up getting a refund so I re-purchased hence the review at this time. Customer service could improve, seems you speak to different people at all stages of asking for a warranty claim, it can get confusing, time consuming and over explanatory.

I bought this travel hairdryer because I was traveling to Sri Lanka and needed a dual voltage appliance, I normally use a Dyson. It was the only one on the market that offered separate heat and speed controls. I have fine, porous hair, and lots of it, so to keep it from frizzing I need to have the speed but with a low heat. The dryer is beautifully packaged and comes with a really lovely travel pouch, I also bought the T3 diffuser. Both items were poorly made, the plastic used felt very flimsy and I didn’t even try to attach the diffuser as I felt it could snap. The button controls were sticky and you could see the plastic moving apart when I toggled them. I tied using the full speed on all three heat settings and there was no change in temperature at all. The heat was so high that I couldn’t put the dryer anywhere near my head. After running the machine for a minute, there was also a slight burning smell, which was worrying. I returned both items straight away for a full refund. I’m not sure if I just had a faulty appliance but I’m afraid I wouldn’t recommend.

For a travel dryer this is great. Very similar to larger T3s and I like that it’s a little less high tech, just a normal dryer. I usually use dyson but since you can’t travel with them, this does the trick. Doesn’t do as well on frizz as others but that’s not unexpected for a small travel dryer.

So glad I bought this. Lightweight and powerful. Looking forward to next trip.

I have been wanting this hairdryer since it came out and the previous travel hair dryer before it, I finally decided to purchase this for a holiday I have coming up. I have tried this a few times on my own hair from wet and also just to touch up my hair and smooth it out and I am obsessed with the power for such a small hair dryer, and how it makes my hair look and feel. It makes my hair look so shiny and soft. I also love to use this for drying my boys’ hair after their bath as the air flow is a lot softer and gentler than my usual hair dryer

Compact and best of all has seperate speed and heat switches plus a cool shot button. Any travel dryer I have bought before has only one control for both the heat and speed which usually ends up burning my scalp. Took this on holiday recently and frankly could use this hairdryer all the time love it.
