Does the lower setting still blow hard or is it more gentle?

It blows reasonably hard. I can feel warm air on high when I hold my hand about 3 1/2 feet from the blower when it's on high. When it's on low, I can feel warm air about 18" from the blower..

We'll be using it in a few days. Right now ir's packed away for a trip to Africa. I can respond later this week. Sorry. Hope I can help.

It doesn't blow as hard as the high setting, but I wouldn't call it gentle. I use it on low and my hair is pretty short.

It's not bad plus I find it seems to blow colder on medium or low fan speed. High works Ok but on a really hot day high seems to over whelm the cooling unit. I love the remote unit. Being 220 vac it works better the the 110 vac unit it replaced. So far so good.

It seems to blow the same. I do not use the cool button. I just turned it on and held in the cool button, and the air flow seemed the same.

Unfortunately no, it is very stubborn. If you don't have a small air nozzle handy to blow it in, I found that I keep butting on the valve and blowing until I find the sweet spot. Once I know I'm getting a good amount in then I clamp onto it with my teeth (not my lips) and blow until it is full. I believe I usually end up biting on the fabric portion since the valve is pretty deep. If you do this it usually only takes a couple breaths and is way easier than trying to pinch the valve with your fingers, especially because once it starts to get full it gets very difficult to hold your pinch, but the teeth won't let it escape.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

I have not experienced a problem with a low flame setting. However, the control is a bit touchy down at the lowest point.

The higher setting is rather loud. The lower setting isn't as bad, but it's not quiet.

Yes, it is quieter than any other blow dryer I have ever used and weight is average blow dryer weight. We really like it and have been using it almost a year now.

Mine blows air really well. Is it turning fast? If it is not, maybe not tight all the way? sorry!

The low speed is pretty quiet, which is where I usually set mine. After I turned it on, I hardly noticed it at all. The high speed was louder, but I seldom set mine on high. The medium speed are just about that - medium to medium loud.

It's great on the low setting, but pretty noisy on the high speed. No worse than most hairdryers I've used on high speed.

It's quiet on the low setting but the high setting is a little loud for me. Just my preference. I like to keep it on the lowest setting.

At low-medium it's almost silent. High is not too disruptive, turbo is loud enough it will interfere a bit.

Turbine spins very fast, I hope people don't try to block it as it keeps things within operating temps. Duster already gets quite warm with extended use.Also as of note the fine tool attachment adapter has a 'blow hole'. I wanted to block it at first, but it regulates the pressure out of the tiny nozzle so it doesn't get overloaded. Don't try to block that either, it blows plenty strong without covering it up.

No, it doesn't blow too hard, I have a Shih Tzu and bathe and blow dry her every week and I can even say she enjoys it !In all honesty, it is one of the best buys I've ever made ... absolutely, no regrets ! ... Hope this helps :)

On low, it's not loud at all. Since it's a larger fan, it's a bit quieter than the small diameter ones. On the Hi setting, it may be a little loud for your purposes, but I haven't hunted much so am not sure what's considered loud for you. I still think it's worth a try for you for the price to get two of them...

Air flow is low. My wife has curly hair also and she loves this dryer. I believe she uses a defuser also. She said it's the best dryer we have ever had. Hope this helps!
