I’ve used a full-size BaByliss hair dryer at home for years, so when I needed a new compact dryer for travel, I was happy to find a smaller option from a brand I already know and trust. My full-size BaByliss has proven to be extremely durable over years of use, and this travel dryer has lived up to my expectations as well.

The size is absolutely perfect for packing, especially when luggage space and weight are important considerations. I recently traveled throughout Europe, where packing efficiently was a must, and this little dryer was ideal. It takes up very little room in my luggage without sacrificing the performance I expect from a good hair dryer.

Don’t let its small size fool you—it is surprisingly powerful! I have short, straight hair, and it dried my hair very quickly and worked like a charm throughout my trip.

If you’re looking for a compact, lightweight travel hair dryer that still delivers plenty of power, I definitely recommend this one. It has earned a permanent spot in my travel bag!

My expensive, full-size blow dryer died and had to be replaced under warranty. I could not go without a blow dryer during that wait for a replacement, and while I usually use the hotel blow dryer when I travel there are times I want to have my own travel dryer, so I ordered this one. I am going to be honest: I did not want to like it when I got it. I thought this is tiny, it looks like a toy - what is this, a blow dryer for ants? But I gave it a shot, and here are my thoughts:

The unit is very compact. I thought this is going to take longer than using my full size! And it did...a little bit I guess. It took me maybe one or two minutes more than usual. Definitely not bad. It appears to have just one heat setting - on - but 2 fan speeds. For me the temperature was maybe just a hair north of just right, but definitely well within the range I would consider to be the right temp. Because it is smaller it cannot push as much air or cover as much spread as a full size, so you end up having to move it back and forth more frequently; however that did not bother me as it is sooo small and soo light you almost don't even notice it. I used it for two weeks and I liked it. I did go back to my full size when I got a replacement, but I will definitely be taking this on all my future trips. It is so small and light I can justify it in order to not have to deal with hotel blow dryers again.

There are only two cons that I had: One is that the nozzle doesn't stay on the best. It didn't fall off during normal use, but if you hit it on anything even lightly it just falls off. They should have put a retaining ring or something on it, it is just a friction fit with little rubber pads inside the nozzle, but they don't work well. The second downside is that it doesn't come with a bag - which for a travel product I think it should.

If you are someone that likes a lot of buttons and features and settings this may not be for you, but if you just want a blow dryer that works and it small this is perfect. In fact if you were going to go for a full size blow dryer at a comparable price I would say just get this one.

I also think besides travel this would be a great blow dryer for a child that wants to get into blow drying their own hair or anyone that has a disability or mobility/stamina issues and would have trouble holding a heavy, full-size blow dryer above their head for a long time.

So yes, I would recommend this blow dryer, and I am glad I bought it.

Just received this & love it. It’s small & lightweight, but mighty. I read a few reviews that felt it would not dry so fast. I have medium length, fine hair which is probably why it works well for me. I previously had a “semi-pro” dryer that was large & heavy, with a thick long cord. It’s nice to have a good compact dryer.

Review of: BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Travel Dryer, Blue

I haven't decided if I'm keeping this yet. I was hoping for it to be my daily hair dryer, but it doesn't work as well as my full size one. I was wanting a lighter weight hair dryer to alleviate my arm strain (even though I have a pixie cut and takes about 3 minutes to dry). This little dryer is very light weight & gets the job done. The cons are that it takes longer because it's smaller and the nozzle is smaller. So you have to be more precise in where you point it. A larger dryer does more surface area at once. It's a tiny dryer, so the attachment concentrator is also tiny. The concentrator also gets burning hot. I'm only using it for about 4 minutes with a pixie cut, and I can't touch it afterwards and need to leave it on my counter to cool down before putting away. If traveling, you definitely could not pack it until it's cool. The blower is very strong, but with such a tiny blower, it still takes longer to dry the hair. I have had long hair before, and there is no way I'd consider using this with longer hair. Even shoulder length hair is too long for this dryer. I think it's GREAT for traveling and being the only thing available to use. I'm not often in that situation since hotels, family and friends usually have a hair dryer you can use. Oh, it makes my hair very frizzy as well. My full size hair dryer doesn't do that. I still haven't decided if I'll keep it or not.

When I travel overnight, I always like to take my hair dryer. Often, either the people I am visiting don't have a spare dryer handy, or at a hotel, the dryer can look grungy. In both cases, I like to be prepared. But very light and very small are necessary, especially when you travel with only what fits under your airplane seat! It can be challenging to figure out which are the lightest dryers that are effective and not too expensive... I spent quite a while researching that question! I also wanted dual voltage so that it could travel internationally with only a small plug adapter.

This little dryer does everything I need. It is "true" dual voltage, giving you both hi and lo settings when you turn it to 250V, while many others only give you one (very few actually advertise this limitation when they claim dual voltage). It dries my hair quickly and comes with a diffuser (not pictured). It even allows you to clean the rear filter by removing the plastic screen on the back.

It weighs only 310 g or 10.95 oz on my kitchen scale, including the cord but not the diffuser, and fits into any cosmetics case that is about 15 x 24 cm or 6 x 9+ in. (It does not include a case.) The longest dimension is under 9 in., including the cord "strain relief." While these measurements are unofficial and home-grown, they are realistic. The weight and size of hairdryers in postings doesn't always include the permanently attached cord, so these may be helpful!

A slight drawback is that there is no cool air setting or "cool shot," just hi and lo. The dryer works quickly to dry my hair. While I may start on Hi, I soon find it too warm and switch to Lo. If you have extremely long or thick hair, you may have a different experience or need something more powerful. But this dryer is by no means weak! Being tiny means I take it everywhere, even when I am traveling only with an underseat bag or knapsack, not even a carry-on. So I am really happy to have bought it and certainly recommend it for travel.

In the search for a new hair dryer, I made 3 purchases. Returned the first 2 (thanks, Amazon for your return policy) and kept this one, the 3rd purchase. I was hoping the newer technology (brushless motors) would mean lighter weight and quieter hair dryers. They were not and were awkward for my small hands to use. Since my current BaByliss hair dryer has lasted so long (>8years), I decided to get another one. It is small, lightweight, perfect for travel and dries my short hair within 2 min. The 1000 watts produces plenty of heat to dry my hair. Highly recommend.

Great hairdryer!! It’s small, folds in half and has nozzle which is a MUST HAVE to smooth out my naturally wavy hair with a round brush. I have the full size BaByliss hair dryer at home - the brand is trustworthy and reliable in my book. I purchased this specifically for a European cruise - to use in Europe, it has to be dual voltage. You have to change it from 125 to 250 - voila!! You’re all set!! Then, when you return to the USA, switch it back!! Love love love this!! The concentrator nozzle attachment is small but serves its purpose, so no frizz - my hair is smooth and shiny! Great value for the money.

Okay, I’m really not a complainer, so I’ll start with the positives. This dryer is the perfect size, and BaBylissPRO has been a favorite of mine for over a decade. For a travel dryer, it’s impressively powerful—comparable to a full-sized one. My hair dried so quickly. Remember, it's a travel dryer and they usually are not powerful. THIS one is.

My only issue is the nozzle. After just a few uses, it becomes too loose and won’t stay attached. I wish it was designed to stay on permanently. My full-sized BaByliss dryer's nozzle never comes off. The company did replace it for me, which I appreciated, but the same issue happened with the second dryer. It seems like a consistent defect.

Es maravillosa, practica, potente, ligera,...yo tengo 2 una para el diario y otra para viajes, esta tercera la pedi para hacer un regalo. Maravillosa compra, muy recomendable.

It is smaller than I thought but it works great! Is powerful, the heat is great. I took it to Indonesia using an adapter and it was perfect. Definitely great for traveling

Excelente potencia y no deja frizz

I love this tiny blowdryer ! It is very powerful & has 2 different heat/ speed settings. It's the perfect size for traveling. The fold down handle makes it super portable.I bought it more for the dual currents, and I'll be happy not to burn up any more blow dryers !

Great little hairdryer. I have short hair so the dryer works well on it. Compact for travelling. Handle does fold. I use every day as my main hairdryer
