Philips hairdryers: features and model range

Each girl wants to look beautiful, stylish and spectacular so that men can not tear off her enthusiastic looks. After all, it is men's attention that enhances the self-esteem of any woman. It is especially valuable for girls who by nature have long magnificent and beautiful hair. Such hair requires special care and attention, so that their appearance is always on top. One tool that can help do this is a hairdryer.

It should be selected very carefully, because its improper use can, on the contrary, harm the hair. And the brand matters in this matter. Like Philips.

If we talk about the history of the Philips brand, then it has more than a hundred years. Philips & Co was founded in 1891 in the Dutch city of Eindhoven by the brothers Gerard and Anton Philips. The main kind of her activity was the production of electric lamps. Quite a long time, several dozens of people worked in production. But already in the early 20s of the XX century, brand awareness increased. The company even received the prefix "Royal". The logo that the company uses now was coined in 1930.

Note that unlike many well-known companies Philips has invested heavily in research. She has owned thousands of patents since 1918, when the company began to patent its own developments. It should be said that this brand belongs to the creation of such seemingly familiar things as audio and video cassettes, CDs and DVDs, as well as some inventions in the field of mobile communications.

In the early 2000s, the range of home electronics manufactured by this manufacturer included video and audio equipment, mobile phones, televisions, and so on. In addition, one of the brand’s divisions produces various lighting lamps - from ordinary incandescent bulbs to the most modern types of bulbs.

In 1997, the official name Philips & Co was replaced by Royal Philips Electronics. In addition, the company’s headquarters moved from Eindhoven to the capital of the Netherlands - Amsterdam.

It should be said that in 2011 the company ceased to manufacture televisions, as its products were more expensive than those of manufacturers from Southeast Asia.

To date, the brand in question produces various models of hair dryers. They can be classified into several categories.

• Hair Dryer Models Having removable nozzles. This hair dryer with nozzles is used for styling and drying hair.

• Professional devices with ionization and high power. Such a professional hairdryer is usually used by stylists in beauty salons. They can not be used at home because of the considerable size.

• Compact devicesthat will be ideal for travel use. Such a folding device is small and can only dry hair, but it does not have any advanced functionality.

In addition, Philips hairdryers are equipped with various nozzles that can significantly expand their functionality. In addition, on all models there is the ability to regulate temperature conditions. In some models, their number reaches 6.

Almost all models of this manufacturer have power from 2000 watts, which significantly speeds up the process of drying hair, and also saves energy and time. True, road models boast a capacity of only 1200 watts, they also easily cope with their work in the shortest possible time.

The first Philips hair dryer model I want to say about is Philips BHD002 Essential Care Compact. It has a dark purple body. There is a removable hub. The length of the electric power cable is 180 centimeters. The power of the device is 1600 watts. One of the features of the BHD002 Essential Care Compact is the ability to work in 3 modes.

The next review model is Philips HP8230 Thermo Protect. This Philips hair dryer is black. It has 3 speed modes, as well as 3 heating control modes, which can be adjusted independently of one another. The model has a special eyelet for hanging. Here is a rather unusual design of the wire - it can rotate, which prevents it from spinning when using a hairdryer.

• a wire that rotates;
• availability of protection against heating;
• lack of overheating of the case during operation;

At the same time, the model of the Philips HP8230 Thermo Protect hair dryer has several disadvantages:

• It takes up a lot of space, and when traveling it is not very convenient to use;
• no additional nozzles;
• the shift keys are not very convenient, which is why there is a risk of accidentally switching the operating mode.

It should be said that there are a number of criteria for choosing a quality hairdryer. Following them, you can choose a really high-quality device for yourself that will fully satisfy your needs.

The first aspect that will be crucial is physical dimensions. If it comes to professional or home use, then you can pick up a large device. If you need to choose a hairdryer for trips, it is best that it is as compact as possible. The mass of the device and the way it sits in the hand are also important.

The next important aspect when choosing - body. Most often, hair dryers have a body made of plastic, which makes it easier to mass. But the plastic must be of high quality, otherwise, when the device is heated, it will emit an unpleasant and unhealthy smell.

Another important characteristic is hair dryer power. The larger it is, the less time it will take to dry your hair. But it also increases the cost of the device. But there will still be a lot to depend on the individual characteristics of the person. If we are talking about short hair, then a hair dryer with a power of up to 1600 watts is enough. And for thick hair it is better to take devices with a capacity of 2100 watts.

The next important aspect is nozzles. Not all hair dryers in the kit have different nozzles. Usually the hair dryer is equipped with only a hub. But many Philips devices also have a diffuser nozzle, which will help to add volume to thin hair, as well as make curls wavy using a special gel.

An equally important characteristic is functional. Be sure to find out before buying what functional features the model you are interested in has. We are talking about all kinds of temperature switches and air mass feed rates. If the device will be used often, it is better to buy a model where there will be functions of supplying both warm and cold air, which will make it possible to preserve the beauty and health of hair as much as possible.

An equally important characteristic will be security. This is a function of automatically turning off the hair dryer when the engine overheats. She must be present. Especially we are talking about powerful models.

Additional features will be important. Among them can be called a humidity control sensor.

Practicality is also an important point. For example, it will not be superfluous to inspect the protective grill at the back of the device to make sure that no hair or any debris gets inside. Well, if it is removed, and it can be cleaned. For this, the hair dryers are equipped with a special brush. And also the device should have an electric cord of sufficient length for comfortable use. As a rule, we are talking about an indicator of 180 centimeters or more.

If we talk about reviews of Philips hair dryers, it should be said that the percentage of positive comments is close to almost 100 percent. Of course, there are also negative reviews, but this is more an exception due to the fact that users are faced with a normal production defect, a small percentage of which is the manufacturer of any equipment.

Speaking about the strengths of Philips hairdryers, users say high power, which makes it possible to quickly dry hair. In addition, they talk about a small mass of models and a large number of nozzles in the kit. As well as many users Satisfied with the variety of technical options Philips hairdryers have.
