Ergonomics
GENERAL IMPRESSION. Gray handle, silver body, dark blue nozzles and switches. The plastic of the handle is not only different in color from the plastic of the body but also more palatable.
The back of the handle has an embossed pattern, so that the hair dryer does not slip out of your hands. The manual says that the hair dryer can not be touched with wet hands, so this extra care for users is nice – OK.
CHANGES. The concentrator nozzle is easy to put on and take off, even with just a little effort. It does not matter how to turn it: clockwise or counterclockwise – GOOD.
To put on the diffuser nozzle, align the “ears” of the nozzle with the holes in the ionizer, click – and the nozzle is in place – OBLIGIBLE.
The concentrator rotates easily and the diffuser is stationary, but it does not need to be rotated separately from the hair dryer.
SWITCHING MODES. The slide switches are on the inside of the handle and can be switched with the thumb while the hair dryer is in operation. Our stylist consultant found this position of the switch and the shape of the switch itself uncomfortable, as prolonged use hurts your finger, eventually blistering on it. But, if you’re not drying and styling your head from morning to night, there’s no problem – GOOD.
Cold blow drying. Hooked on button to activate mode – GOOD.
THE CARE. The air inlet grille is easy to remove and just as easy to put back in.
SCHNEUR. The double-core, 1.00mm2 core is great, the cord is thick but short. If the outlet is far away, you have to use an extension cord, which is wrong – GOOD.
HANDLE. Wide, strong and flexible.
The construction of the concentrator
The manual even shows the noise level of the hair dryer during operation: with the concentrator nozzle – 83 dB, without the concentrator nozzle – 84 dB, with the diffuser – 87 dB all measurements were carried out at the first airflow rate .
The main difference between this hair dryer and similar devices is the presence of two holes for the flow of negatively charged ions. And when the diffuser nozzle is used, the flow of aeration ions goes from the nozzle.
Special modes
The manufacturers have equipped the device with an ionization function, with an external one, so that the moisturizing ions can penetrate freely into the hair. The hair dryer has a panel on the handle that removes the negative charge from the hair.
That way, negative ions continue to be attracted to the hair during the entire drying and styling process. The ioniser has no on/off switch and no display.
Features of operation
The concentrator is not too narrow, but it was not the widest in the test, either.
The kit also includes a diffuser with a large number of fingers: sixteen : The first one is on the outer edge, each one is 4.3 cm long, two of them are on the inner circle, also 4.3 cm long, and four of them are 4 cm long in the middle of the working circumference.
The diffuser has a concave design that makes the “outer” pins seem much longer than the “inner” pins. This diffuser is perfect for women with long, thick hair.
Adding just one temperature mode and one airflow rate doubles the number of possible combinations, and this hair dryer has 12 combinations, compared to the standard six. Whether such a large number of combinations is necessary is a question for the discussion of hairdressers. But it’s always nice when there is an additional choice – FINE.
Cold air blowing temperature is practically the same as the first temperature mode the estimation was made by tactile sensations, measurements were not made with the devices . The button activation simply gives the user the choice of whether to activate the mode by changing temperature settings or simply by pushing the button. SATISFACTORY.
Safety
1. The automatic overheat protector will switch the hair dryer into “cool air” mode if it overheats. In this case, the manufacturer recommends the user to unplug the hair dryer and let it cool for a few minutes.
The hair dryer has been on max mode for one hour and has not shut off because it has not overheated.
2. The hair dryer is marked: “do not use near water. The instruction manual is the strictest: it generally prohibits the use of the hair dryer in the bathroom and in rooms with high humidity. Another plus: the dryer is already equipped with a cut-off device with current rating, which offers additional safety and ensures that the current consumption does not exceed 30 mA.
I’m sorry, but I need more information about the specific question you want to ask about the Panasonic EH 5573 test drier. Could you please provide more context or details?
