I used a new hair dryer once, returned it and got myself an ungar dual heat high power gun.
never looked back since.
I have a (low medium and high) heat gun, but its really no different then the hair dryer that I use on high. I really don't think this hair dryer should be used for hair it burnes my fingers after only a few seconds.
