Query: It worked great for 18 months- and then it died.

I read so many reviews on this hair dryer before I bought it and I purchased it anyway despite the fact that several people noted it died shortly after purchase...so mea culpa. Here are the positives:-It's very light-Generates great heat-Love the extra long cord-They provided extra filters when I purchased it which I thought was a good thing but....Now the negatives:- Even if you change the filter regularly (hint, hint with the included extras), mine died after a year.- It's passing was very dramatic and looked like it was going to catch on fire, and smelled like it too.So it's great as long as it works, until it doesn't........
