Summary. Good but listed at 130 this ought to be much, much better. This may be light weight but this doesn’t fit my specs for a travel dryer.

Please see my review in May 2022 of T3 Black Compact Hair Dryer. This was probably why the cookies in the Amazon account popped this T3 Fit onto the page to entice me.

Usually I buy small, light weight, multi-voltage, folding handle hair dryers because I live and work out of a bag for 6 to 9 months of the year. Also with few exceptions, most hair dryers for home use blows too much of a blast (therefore also too loud noise and too high pitch in that noise as the motor has to spind extremely fast to create that blast ) and / or the lowest heat setting is too hot. The exception was found in the 1990’s with Philips Silence 1500 but this ceased production eons ago.

For a dozen years leading to 2022 my partner burnt out 4 of my driers thus for the last two of those years I had been helping to hunt down a dryer for her use so as to avoid burning out all mine. Must have done internet reviews of 500 to a thousand and tried dozens whereever we could find them in walk-in stores even a few bought and returned through Amazon. The only brand we refused to consider was Dyson. (Wonder why he mega rich ?) After we tried salon grade GHD (Good Hair Day brand) then rejected straight away I told my partner there was only T3 Micro brand from USA to try left because there was nothing left. Not only is Dyson ludicrous pricing, but they lie about “Digital Motor” (there is no such thing) and the air blast would probably not what we want.

Joy o joy, the T3 Black Compact suited my partner so she would never burn out any more of mine. However, the blast, heat, noise of that model was still a touch too hot, too much wind and too high pitch for my liking. I could only stand the heat on the lower setting for 1 minute comfortably and by 2nd or 3rd minuted I would have to stop. Not even the cold shot did much good because that was even more of a blast (+more noise). I ask my hair dreser which hair dryer she uses in the salon who said just a decent 40 model (can’t remember which one) and which she knows burns out every couple of years. I tried that but again too much blast and heat at the lowest setting.

Gave up hunting a model for my own use at home until the Amazon cookies shown me the T3 Fit. Glad it did and due to its special price I bought it to try. Not much good reading reviews before deciding because of all the 10 reviews they were all Vine Voice Reviews. This fact alone ought to tell T3 Micro tha tthey have pitched their products at too high a price for the UK market.

So the first time in aobut 30 years there is a hair dryer I can use at home which has the low enough heat, low enough noise, and low enough blast as the Philips Silence 1500 (but that was less then 20) and thank goodness I had not let my partner use it so it can still be used to give me a side by side comparison. So what do you get for the extra money in the T3 Fit ?

For that price I expected multi voltage but there is none. It is only suited for 220-240v. I expected cleaver folding handle but it isn’t. Worse, the handle is placed similar to a club hammer instead of an axe – meaning even if you place it at the corner of a suitcase it still takes up more room than is necessary. By the way the T3 Afar multivoltage is not that much better even with its handle folded up because that is too big compared to my existing collection of travel dryers.

So what is good ? Guess the negative ions technology is but that wasn’t my problem in the first place. It does have a longer cable protecting boot. This IS important and shows T3 designers have been thingking about preventing the wear & tear caused to cable by too much flexing over time, i.e. it is a prevention of shorting caused by cable wear. The other good thing is cable is decent long at over 2.5m (US website quotes 9 feet). There is a cold shot button but I don’t like the implementation because it springs back into place; it is a toggle on then toggle off kind of button, but I prefer the button which you press and hold for a blast of cold air.

So why am I keeping this T3 and why I rate it 4 stars ? Quite simply there is no other dryer apart from a T3 which will have the low settings and low noise that I want. Further, I suspect that in modern day where glory and greatness is accorded to whichever product is fastest, hottest, that there won’t be a manufacturer willing to target a market for gentle heat, gentle air blast and low noise.

Do I recommend this T3 Fit ? Yes because although I use it at the lowest setting, there are 3 speeds and 2 heat settings plus cold button. I assume this must be a great dryer to dry babies and dogs. At the lowest setting I use it at, you are unlikely to cause harm to them either.

Apparently it’s a decent hair dryer, she’s been giving this a lot of use and she said it gets her hair dry but doesn’t get as hot as her other one.

It is though a good size to travel with

Seems pricey, but looks like it’s going to last the duration

Highly recommended 10/10

It is a very good hairdryer. Slightly overpriced though.
Lightweight and compact but powerful with modern stylish look.
Simple high gloss white colour with gold pink details.
3 heating settings with 2 speeds and lock-in cool shot.
Drying hair fairly fast, leaving it smooth and shiny with less frizz.
Easy to hold in the hand and use. Not a bad noise level.
Recommended.

This is a very light weight and beautiful hair dryer. It is smaller than the regular hair dryer. It dries hair smoothly and quickly. It has 2 speed and 3 heat settings. And a cool air button. Because of its small size it is easy to carry with you while travelling. I am 100% satisfied with the product.

This is an amazing hairdryer. It is well-made, compact, and has a quality feel. It looks good and stylish, with a smart white and rose gold trim. It is lightweight, easy to hold and comfortable to use. It comes with a directional nozzle, and although a diffuser is available, it’s not included. You have a choice of three temperatures, including a cool shot, and there’s two speeds.

A lot comes down to styling skill, and as I don’t have a lot of that, I wasn’t expecting much of a difference when using this dryer, but the results were surprisingly good. There was a lot more volume to my hair, increased shine, and less annoying fly-away strands too. It didn’t look exactly the same as when I’ve been to the hairdressers, but it really wasn’t far off. Now, I can’t tell if that’s down to the Ionic technology, or if it’s just because this dryer is smaller than my regular one, and therefore easier to handle.

At the time of writing this review, the cost is 121.31 on offer, with a regular price of 130.00, and that’s a lot of money, whichever way you look at it. For me, as much as I like this dryer, it’s only a dryer and the improvements that I can see are not enough to warrant the price tag. If you struggle with frizz, and this answers your prayers, it could well be worth it to you.

I’d never heard of the brand T3 before this so wasn’t sure what to expect – I usually use a Babyliss 5223U which I’ve had since 2009 and I can definitely feel the difference dropping from 2000W to 1600W. The hairdryer itself feels really well made. I like the longer handle compared to the Babyliss and I’m not accidently pressing the coolshot. I like that the speed/temp buttons don’t move easily so they’re not going to be accidently changed. There’s something about the sound of the fan/motor that doesn’t make it sound as robust but maybe this is because it’s not as powerful. On the highest heat setting it does heat quickly (and even on first use didn’t have a smell to it) but it was slower to fully dry my hair – this could maybe be a good thing though in terms of maybe being less damaging. I can’t really say I noticed any difference in the finished result – my hair tends to be very straight/flat anyway rather than frizzy. My biggest point is probably the price point – my Babyliss was under 40 at the time and this is 121.31 at the moment and I just can’t see how it justifies the high price point – the features are no different – 3 heat settings and 2 speed settings plus the cool shot – exactly the same as the Babyliss. This one comes with a concentrator and there is a diffuser available to buy separately.
