The Rusk W8less never disappoints. It blows air that is fast and hot (55 mph and 245 °F by our measurements). It weighs less than a pound and is comfortable to hold. It’s not too loud, and it has a conveniently long 8-foot cord, so if you want to multitask, say, by tidying up the bathroom while you dry your hair, you can. I’m just one of many people who have compared hair dryers for Wirecutter’s guide over the years, but my own experience lines up with those of my colleagues.
