Philips Hair Dryer 7000 Series, ThermoShield Advanced Technology, Mineral and Water Ionic, with Nozzle and Hair Diffuser, 1800W, Model BHD720/13

The best hairdryer I ever had, light weight, dries hair quickly

Amazing product , good size and very light compared to my old hair dryer , just as advertised with magnetic parts for defuser

I bought this hairdryer on sale — it was still quite expensive, around £90, and the full price is even higher. I chose it because Philips is a trusted brand and I wanted to upgrade from my previous model, which was working fine but lacked advanced features like ionisation. My impressions are mixed. On the positive side: the dryer is lightweight, feels pleasant in the hand, and seems well-built. Both attachments are magnetic and rotate easily, which is great for adjusting airflow direction. It has multiple settings — from gentle drying to very powerful airflow — plus a cold shot. There’s definitely a lot of functionality, but it takes some trial and error to find the mode that suits your hair best. On the downside: there was no wow effect. The ionisation doesn’t perform any miracles. I haven’t used the volumising attachment at all. Compared to my old hairdryer, the difference isn’t dramatic. Also, the dryer is quite bulky — not ideal for travel unless you have plenty of space in your suitcase. Overall: A solid product with lots of features and reliable quality. I think the results also depend on your brush, hair products, and technique — it’s not a magic solution on its own. Still, it’s a good option if you’re looking for a well-made device with plenty of settings to choose from.

Package was opened already, and the hair dryer was in use before, saw dust and even kind of mold (black dots) inside the dryer

It was the best hairdryer I ever had. It dried hair so so quickly, literally within 2 minutes. And then… it stopped working (it stopped blowing), so I’m returning it. I’m extra mad because I bought it for £66 and now it costs £179… not willing to pay so much for just a hair dryer.

Very pleased with this dryer…good to handle and easy controls.. I have very thick wavy hair so hair dryers tend to frizz.. but this hasn’t.. I think even my hair looks and feels better for it..

Philips are a big brand and in today’s market they, and other big brands, are being challenged by countless lesser-known manufacturers, who broadly speaking provide very similar products but for considerably less money. At time of review this Philips 7000 was discounted 50% for Prime Day, however its normal RRP is a whopping £180.00 which quite frankly is just ridiculous. What do you get for £180.00 over a non-branded dryer costing half the price and the answer is nothing much, if anything at all? This Philips should be a £90.00 hair dryer without discount and even at that price you’re not buying anything that performs or handles any better than what my wife has tried & tested around the £60 - £70 mark. The only reason I can see you spending this amount of money for this particular dryer is for brand reputation, build and warranty as the actual handling & performance isn’t really all that special? In short, you’re paying for the name… that’s it! I’ve pictured the Philips next to my wife’s PARWIN, which is a brand you’ve probably never heard of? It’s been her ‘daily’ since she reviewed it around 3 months ago and despite testing many other dryers, with some costing over £200.00, no other (including this Philips) has tempted her away from it. The visual differences between the two are immediately obvious and yet despite its diminutive size, the PARWIN performs better, handles better, looks better and costs significantly less than the Philips. And that’s the problem Philips have in pricing this hair dryer at £180.00… it’s just really, really bad value for money. Even with its 50% discount it’s still expensive and it doesn’t perform or handle any better than cheaper options, albeit from lesser-known manufacturers. My wife’s PARWIN retails for £110.00 and it too was discounted down to £76.00 for Prime Day, which is considerably less than this Philips. So unfortunately, I really can’t recommend this, purely from a value for money perspective, which is a shame as it looks very nice and seems well put together, using some good quality materials. It is from a trusted brand though so it should last a long time but it’s just a pity you’re paying such a premium for the Philips badge, when in use its no better than alternatives costing 50-60% less. The ‘savvy shopper’ should really be looking at much cheaper alternatives long before they ever arrive at this Philps 7000.

Veryy good quality

Amazing, works just as expected and described in the description.

Good quality

I like how it can switch hot and cold air fast on a button click. Hot option is not so hot which is nice because it will not damage the hair so much.
