Reality: As we held the ultra-lightweight hair dryer in our hands, we were skeptical that it would be able to blow at 94 mph. After all, how can something so dainty pack so much power? Well, consider us impressed. Whereas a typical dry takes anywhere from 20-25 minutes, this bad boy brought it in between 10-15.

As a side note, just in case you're curious just how powerful 94 mph of blowing power feels, no, it does not blow you over like a wind storm or anything of the sort. We momentarily wondered, as well, before switching the power button on.

In all seriousness though, the best part about the faster drying time is that it means your hair can be exposed to heat for less time, which ultimately means less damage. Geesh, thanks, Harry.

Reality: Welllllllllll, the key words are "as noisy". When we first read this claim we were expecting to turn our Ultra Light on without even noticing it was on -- kind of like a Prius. Unfortunately, that technology is not yet available, so if you turn this on while your roommate is mid-phone-conversation, you can fully expect her to look at you like "WTH are you doing?"as she walks into the next room to hear. In other words, it's quieter than other dryers, yes, but you won't be able to, say, blow out your hair while Netflixing.

Reality: First off, let's go over what this means. Your hot tool will instantaneously transform your strands into a Victoria's Secret Angel-worthy mane or into 2017's favorite super sleek strands lewk. All thanks to the negative ion technology that you can switch on or off. Sounds amazing, sure.

Here's the catch though, while switching between modes certainly makes a difference, we can't say that it's really that major of a selling point. Perhaps in the hands of a more capable professional, the feature would be worth all that extra dough. So there is a chance that we could've gotten better results had we paired the technique with a special hair product cocktail. Who knows? Well, Harry Josh, probably.

Let's retrace our steps, shall we? We love the design, our arms love the weight, and we couldn't be more enamored with the mint-green color to add a little personality to our vanities. What's more, it really does dry hair faster than anything we've tried thus far, albeit still relatively noisily.

While we feel head over heels for the gorgeous design and truly unbeatable performance, it's probably not for everyone (just, you know, most beauty-obsessives).

The Harry Josh Pro Tools Ultra Light Pro Dryer goes on sale October 23 at Dermstore.com, and retails for $349.
