Customer Review

At last, a really small hair dryer that does the job. I bought this little gem to put in my limited suitcase space, and now I use it all the time at home as well. It is powerful but oh so lightweight (10 oz.) which is a plus for us arthritis sufferers. It is about 6"x6" without the attachments and 8" in circumference at it's thickest point. Works so well, makes you wonder why in the world other hair dryers have to be so huge and heavy and cumbersome. A great product and a great price as well.

Awesome for travel! - Minyuette -
Worked in China, I needed to use a prong adapter but otherwise it didn't let me down. No overheating and no burning smells.

A handy little hairdryer - Emma - MA, USA
I don't usually blow-dry my hair, so I bought this product only to keep around for those occasional times when I really need a hairdryer. It's compact and sturdy and comes with a nice storage bag, so it works well for my purposes, but it's probably on the small side for everyday use.

Frommer's Tuscany & Umbria Overviews

"Author Reid Bramlett really knows his subject. Bramlett's book is much richer in detail than the [competition]. He does an excellent job..." —New Orleans Times-Picayune

You'll never fall into the tourist traps when you travel with Frommer's. It's like having a friend show you around, taking you to the places locals like best. Our expert authors have already gone everywhere you might go--they've done the legwork for you, and they're not afraid to tell it like it is, saving you time and money. No other series offers candid reviews of so many hotels and restaurants in all price ranges. Every Frommer's Travel Guide is up-to-date, with exact prices for everything, dozens of color maps, and exciting coverage of sports, shopping, and nightlife. You'd be lost without us!

Meticulously researched by our expert author, Frommer's Tuscany & Umbria is the only guide you need to discover the region's artistic treasures, Renaissance architecture, rustic villages, vineyards, and fabulous shopping. This authoritative guide will reveal the best wines and hearty regional dining, tell you how to rent your own romantic villa, send you on scenic bike tours, and lead you away from the tourist crowds so you can discover the true flavor and leisurely pace of this sunny corner of Italy. We'll show you the best of Florence and its treasure trove of art and architecture, then take you through the medieval alleyways of Siena, along the Chianti Road, and to lovely towns like San Gimignano, Lucca, Assisi, Perugia, and more.

Every one of our honest, in-depth hotel reviews is based on a recent personal inspection; every restaurant has been tried personally; and every sight, shop, and stroll was checked out in detail. You'll get the latest trip-planning advice, valuable cultural insights, wonderful tips for venturing off the beaten path, and detailed, accurate maps. With Frommer's in hand, it's a snap to design the Italian adventure that's right for you.

Customer Review

If you're going on the whirlwind "Rome-Florence-Venice" tour, don't bother with this book. It isn't for you.

If you have a week or 2 to spend in central Italy, buy and read the whole book before you leave, and carry it with you everywhere.

My wife and I spent a month in Italy, and 2 weeks in Tuscany and Umbria. We had Rick Steeve's, Eyewitness, and Frommers with us. In large towns with good tourist infrastructure (Assisi, Sienna, etc) we found most of the books comparable. In the smaller towns where we usually spent our nights (Spoleto, Montepulciano, Sovana), only Frommers was worth looking at. We consistently found their hotel rooms most closely matched up with the written descriptions in the book, and their recommended restaraunts, while not as cheap as Rick Steve's, were very good.

Particularly if driving (which is really the only way to see this region), the maps and directions far surpassed the other 2 books. Great maps of almost every town, no matter how small. The only deficiency was the lack of marking of the inbound and outbound roads on the map. Once I figured out where I was entering the town from though, the maps in this book could take me anywhere.

In the final analysis, all 3 books were useful, but we used each differently. We looked at Rick Steves and Eyewitness each morning, but carried only Frommers with us during the day. When we go back, this will be the only book we take.

WARNING - Out of Date Edition - - San Francisco, CA United States
Warning to readers! We bought this book in March 2004. A more recent edition (called Florence, Tuscany & Umbria) came out in January 2004. This edition was written in 2001 and still quotes prices in lire! We're returning the book and swapping it for the other one.

Customer Review

I have found all essentials in this book I needed, but rated it by 4 stars because of two things:
1. lack of some more detailed information;
2. design of this book. Text arranged so flat, that sometimes it gets hard to read.

I would recommend this book to anybody, who plans to move to US and has no information where to start from: from arriving, arranging visas to renting or buyng property.

Outdated and some errors. A let down - Steven Fincher -
I have many of Hampshires books, My job takes me around the world to a new location every year. However this is outdated but does not go into detail with Visa's or Green cards.
The home buying section is OK but only for Florida. The other 49 States have different laws and this it give the wrong advice.

Customer Review

This is very good. I like it. I can select strong, wild, hot and cool style. awesome!

Great when it worked - SFGeoff - Salt Lake City
I purchased this hair dryer on 18 June 2008, used it only three to four times per week and thought it worked very well. My hair dried quickly and was left soft and smooth. Then only 21 days after the one year warranty expired it quit. No warning, no apparent problems, nothing to lead me to believe it wouldn't last a long time. It just stopped working and would not start again. The dryer still looks new, no scratches, no lint in the air intake screen, no kinks in the cord, but is doesn't work. Before it quit, I would have given it four stars (deducting one for being rather loud), the fact that it lasted barely more than one year makes me want to give it zero stars. I'll compromise and offer two stars and wish you good luck if you decide to purchase this hair dryer.

Customer Review

I was looking for a compact travel dryer to keep at work for those days when I have to leave the house before my hair is completely dry. Torn between this and a dual voltage/international dryer, I went with the Revlon based on my positive experiences with their products in the past. Great decision! When I opened the box, I got quite the pleasant surprise--this dryer has a dual voltage switch (it can operate on US-standard 110V or 220V systems, which you find in most of Europe and throughout the world). I hadn't seen anything about this feature on the product page, so I wanted to get the word out for anyone considering this dryer. It's powerful for a compact/travel dryer with 1875W and it dries my heavy hair impressively quickly. This dryer has suited my needs perfectly; I highly recommend it!!

Don't bother - Save your money - annie - LA
I bought this dryer to bring on an overseas trip -- used it once at home to try it and I'm glad I did. Save your money -- don't buy this dryer unless you want to be extremely disappointed. I have used travel dryers in the past, but this one is worthless.

Customer Review

OMG!!
I've been using this flat iron for over a year now, and it still works like a charm! And for the price??? Amazing :)
I wash my hair as usual and apply a product from "Bed Head" to protect my hair from the heat of the blow dryer and the iron. Blowdry my hair dry and then use the flat iron to give my hair a beautiful, straight and shiny finish. I have very thick, coarse hair and it's always been really difficult to find an iron that works well and doesn't damage my hair too much. Lets be honest, heat isn't the best thing for your hair :) And I staighten my hair on average twice a week and it looks great.
Would highly recommend it to anyone!

meh.. decent. - Hannah - camwithher
This straightener will get the job done, but I would not purchase another one.

I have used a Sedu for about 3 years until it finally kicked the bucket. I was low on cash so I thought I'd try something not as expensive, especially considering the great reviews. This thing is large, bulky, and pulls my hair if I'm not very careful. The end result leaves my hair looking a bit like straw, whereas my older expensive straightener always left my hair looking (and feeling) silky.

Save for something better, it's worth the extra money.

not so good - Verlyn R - Camano Island, WA United States
Purchased for my wife to use on a trip. She won't use it. The squeeze handles are flexible and don't allow her to put enough pressure on her hair, they just bend instead. Found a Revlon dual voltage from another supplier that works great.

Customer Review

I like that it's very small, powerful, cute and high-fashioned. However, I thought it's dual voltages. There is one review above that made me misunderstood. So I'm upset about this. As I cannot use it in Thailand (240 voltage) I can use only in US. I plan to use it when I go to gym. I don't like using the gym's hair dryer. I like that it has cold shot and it works only just with softly touch & holding the button. It's very light weight & tourmaline Ionic which make my hair beautiful & shining. It only disappoint me that it cannot use with 240 voltage even with any transformer (the instruction says don't use transformer). It's a pity that why don't they make it a dual-voltages one. If they make it a dual-voltages one, this product will be the best ever.

Not faster, but better -- less frizz - Sheila Moore - Belmont, California USA
I actually ordered a slightly different BaByliss compact hair drier, but this one came instead. The review for the other one said it reduced frizziness; the description of this one does not say that, but says it dries hair "faster." It does not dry my hair any faster than my last hair drier did, but it does leave my hair much silkier. My hair isn't particularly frizzy in the first place, but I still see a big difference.

The operating instructions that came with this drier say: "WARNING. THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR USE BY LICENSED COSMETOLOGISTS." What pretentious nonsense -- it is as easy to use as any other hair drier. It operates exactly the same way.

Customer Review

I got this travel dryer in July, 2009, and have used it for about 25 days so far, when traveling. I was skeptical about spending this much money, but this is a terrific little hair dryer. It is very lightweight, with a folding handle, and about half the size of a traditional salon dryer. I have shoulder length, straight, fine hair, and must have the air concentrator on the end or my hair will blow everywhere and snarl. Cheapo travel dryers from *Mart had concentrator tips that would fall off once heated. Not the X5! It's permanently attached. Also, the concentrator is the only part of the exterior to get hot, yet the dryer produces a lot of heat for such a tiny machine. Very good noise levels, too. I'm extremely impressed with the design of this dryer, and very pleased with the performance.

I recently bought two of these hair dryers, one for each bathroom. I love the size and they are light weight. I have found the high speed works well to start the drying process and then finish with the low speed. It drys fast and isn't as noisy as some dryers. I am very happy with the product so far. Haven't had it long enough to know how well it will last yet. The price was certainly right, too.

Customer Review

This device is advertised as a "Hair Dryer". That is wrong.

This device is a "Focused Stream of Hot Air Generator".

A Focused Stream of Hot Air Generator has many uses besides drying hair.

It can dry wet money that has been inadvertently become wet or has been washed because you are repulsed by the foul stench of the residue of thousands of people.

It can quickly dry washed wet socks which you may need to do when you are traveling.

It could even dry a shirt or pair of pants if you were desperate.

It could heat a hotel room if the heat suddenly stopped working and you were at a place that lacked 24 hour services.

The possibilities are virtually endless. Why the misnomer?

Also, this unit works well.

Just like the one at the hotel - BrandiPgh - Cranberry Twp, PA
I used this hair dryer in the hotel room while on vacation. I really liked how fast it dried my hair so I wrote down the info and googled it when I got home. To my surprise this hair dryer was inexpensive so I ordered it. It works great. It gets really hot and dries my hair fast. The only dissapointment is that you can't clean the vents out.

Customer Review

I purchased this flat iron as I wanted something that would both straighten and curl my hair. Unfortunately, it's a bit too small for my medium-length, but THICK hair. It does heat up very quickly, but simply takes a long time to straighten my hair due to the size of the plates. I give it 4 stars because while it is a slow process for *me*, it does straighten beautifully and doesn't make my hair appear dull or give it that "too straight" look. As for curling, it only works when I use very small sections of hair. May be more effective for someone whose hair is normal to thin. Great product, just not the best for thick hair.

Conair Hair straightener - R. Wager -
I bought one of these Conair hair straighteners about 9 months ago .I loved it so much that I just bought a second one to keep for a back up . It heats in seconds(seriously),it's a lot cheaper than ones I've seen in stores, and it works. AND some of the money spent on it goes to a good cause. How can you go wrong ?!

Customer Review

I'm planning a trip to Tuscany and Umbria next fall (I've been to Florence before), and found the Frommer's Italy 2010 guide* so helpful I bought this more focused guide.

Some of what I said about the broader guide applies to this this one, as well: Like the Michelin guide, it rates key attractions with one to three stars. While I would never plan a trip based on the ratings of a single guidebook, I do find the star ratings helpful in elucidating the author's opinions in a way that sifting through different adjectives in descriptions isn't. Unlike the Michelin guide this book groups cities by geography (which is how you would visit them) rather than alphabetically across the whole country. It also has more detail on hotels. In fact, the extensive descriptions of hotels is one of the reasons I found this guide so useful.

While the Italy guide covers Florance and Tuscany, Umbria, and The Marches in two chapters and less than 200 pages, this guide offers more than 400 pages devoted to Florence, Tuscany, and Umbria. (Yes, Florence is in Tuscany, but both guides treat it separately.)

This guide has a different author from the Italy guide, and not all recommendations line up between the guides. But, as I have said, I wouldn't plan a trip based on one author's opinion, so that's not all bad. Overall, I have found this guide to be extremely helpful, and the small, pull-out map of Tuscany and Umbria included is very helpful; I'd been looking, unsuccessfully, for a map of that size and scale!

One thing the guide does not have is photos; but combine the pictorial Eyewitness guides** with the wealth of prose information in this book and you have a winning combination.

Note: This review is of the 6th Edition published in 2008. Other reviews may be of different editions.

very good comprehensive book for travelers - LC - Sarasota, FL
I have looked at all the guides rick steves, fodors, lonely planet, and michelin. I found the frommers to be the most helpful and diverse - the guide recommends venues in every town/city that will appeal to families, romantics, wine/food lovers, etc. I looked at the 4 reviews before this review and I think those reviews are for an older edition of the book. Those reviews were written in 2009 and this book came out in February 2010.
