Laifen Swift tops this list because it is the only dryer here that publishes both a noise figure and a low price: Laifen rates it at 59 dB at full speed and sells it for $118.99 on its US store, down from a $139.99 list price. The brushless motor spins at 110,000 RPM and pushes air at 22 m/s, and Laifen says it checks air temperature 100 times per second to avoid overheating, with an LED ring that shows the heat setting. At 0.9 lb (407 g) it is light enough for long sessions, and the nozzles snap on magnetically and rotate 360°. Laifen claims 200 million negative ions for less frizz. The tradeoffs are on paper too: maximum power is 1400W, below the 1750W to 1875W of the Shark, Drybar and ghd dryers, the diffuser costs extra, and Laifen is already promoting a Swift 4. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test noise or drying time.
