  Review of Muji travel hairdryer

  Features

  450W. 2 heat/ speed settings. Weight 206g. Flex length 170cm. Styling nozzle, dual voltage 120V or 240V. Travel bag. Folding handle.

  Comments

  The smallest and lightest travel dryer tested, it took testers an average of 3 minutes longer to dry their hair than with a standard hairdryer. The handle is short and uncomfortable to hold. The air gets hot, but is not very powerful, testers found it difficult to create a style.
