Today I nearly lit my head on fire thanks to the Conair Infinity blowdryer (pictured).
This the second blowdryer I've purchased in the last 6 months from Conair. The first was a nearly identical model that just stopped about a month after purchase. The lovely people at Shopper's Drug Mart agreed to exchange it since I had purchased it from their store. I had hoped that the new one, despite missing a few attachments that were supposed to be in the box, would last longer.

I got a good 3 months out of it, before it showed early signs of death. It would take about 30 seconds to warm up, slowly roaring to life but then it would work fine. The last couple of uses it started firing sparks at me. It would first glow red, shoot out a couple of sparks and then go back to normal. Today it was a full out flame thrower. You'd think I abuse my hairdryers from the sounds of it but I only blowdry my hair every 2-3 days for about 20 minutes.

So now with only a few hair singed I am without a blowdryer and my hair is starting to look Lion King again. I am in need of a new blowdryer that will last me more than 6 months but won't cost a fortune. Any suggestions?
