Good for travel.
I bought this for the small size and the dual voltage for use on a trip to Ireland. The size is nice and small for travel, and the dryer works well on high here in the U.S.; not as powerful as my regular dryer but quite enough power for its size. I'll update after my trip overseas. So far, very pleased. The red color is very nice.
Update: Be sure to use it on the low setting when overseas and using a higher voltage. The low setting provides equal power to the high setting when you are overseas on 220 or 240 volts. If you accidentally use the high setting overseas, the dryer will over- heat and shut down immediately, leaving an acrid smell in the air. Luckily, when I accidentally used it on the high setting, although the dryer cut off almost immediately, after it cooled down, it worked perfectly on the low setting. In other words, the higher voltage did no permanent harm to the dryer. So f you are overseas, turn the dryer to 220 volts ( on a little button that you can change back and forth between voltages by using a coin in the button 's slot) and remember to only use the dryer on the low setting.
