Blaster Pro: The Salon Quality Hair Dryer at a Quarter of the Price

Technology

Blaster Pro – the dual-motor hair dryer with a competitive price point – has launched on Kickstarter.

Modern hair dryers are truly innovative devices. Features like ionic care are becoming more and more common, and custom nozzles help perfect your style. But the $500+ price tag on these hair dryers can be quite discouraging. But, Blaster Pro’s $99 Super Early Bird deal finally brings high-tech hair dryers into a reasonable price range.

Let’s talk about Blaster Pro’s features. First, the strength. The power of Blaster Pro’s two motors is quite noteworthy. The dual BLDC (Brushless DC) motors revolve at speeds of up to 108,000 RPM each, giving you a super strong dry. It really is two hair dryers in one – hair dries in seemingly no time at all.This also makes Blaster Pro great for drying off thick-furred pets after a bath. It’s definitely a power-house of a product.

Having said that, Blaster Pro isn’t just sheer power – it knows how to keep that power in check, too. When powered at max strength, only the bottom motor blows hot air, while the top motor blows cold hair to protect your scalp. Blaster Pro also has its own dual-layer nozzle, targeting heat exactly where it needsto go to unlock exquisite styles. There’s also Ionic Care to prevent dryness and frazzling, and a Cool Shot mode to lock your style in place. Did we also mention that, even though Blaster Pro is rocking two motors, it’s no louder than the conventional hairdryer? It’s power AND exquisiteness in one complete package.

But the convenience of Blaster Pro is what truly exceeds expectations. The product weighs a total of 1.5 lbs. – and that’s with two motors! Plus, the handle is designed in an intuitive T-shape, so you’ll never cramp your wrist while you’re blowdrying your hair. That makes Blaster Pro a great hair dryer for kids, too. You can even take it with you on the go if you need a quick style adjustment before an important meeting.

With all of that, Blaster Pro’s Super Early Bird Deal means you’re getting all of these features for just $99! Compare that to the $400 Dyson, and you’re getting a next-generation hair dryer at a quarter of the price! Getting a salon-quality hair dryer has never been this affordable.

Blaster Pro can be bought at a discounted price from its Kickstarter campaign that launched earlier this April.
