On digital, we assess the ergonomics of hair dryers by observing their weight, maneuverability, tips and the number of declined power. Then, we focus on the performance of the hair dryer, including its ability to control the air flow and temperature. We measure the speed of the air flow using an anemometer, tested at different powers, with or without tip. For the diffuser, a special follow -up is made via a thermal camera. If the temperature becomes too high, it is essential to adjust the settings and reduce heat. A powerful hair dryer must offer both a soft and powerful flow of air while mastering its temperature, it does not have to exceed 150 ° C significantly. Finally, we assess noise and electricity consumption to finalize our test.
