Power, measured in watts, affects air speed and temperature. Most hair dryers range between 1200 and 2000 watts. Higher power usually means faster drying.
Why should I choose a hair dryer with an AC motor instead of a DC motor?
If durability, longevity and strong performance are your priorities, especially if you use the hair dryer frequently or professionally, then a hair dryer with an AC motor is the best choice. Conversely, if you prefer something light and quiet for everyday, domestic use, a DC motor may be more suitable.
