Watts, airflow, and the cold shot · review
A 2400 watt AC motor with a published airflow figure of 150 km/h, three attachments including a 7 mm (0.28 in) precision nozzle, a true cold shot, a removable filter and a three-meter salon-length cable.
Where it leaves us The highest air speed published on this shelf, on a salon-length cable. The step up that is actually a step up.
Two thousand four hundred watts on an AC motor, and — unusually — a published airflow figure of 150 km/h. Three heat settings, two fan speeds, a true cold shot, and a Style button Remington describes as delivering targeted heat where it is needed.
Three attachments come in the box: the PROluxe nozzle, a 7 mm (0.28 in) precision nozzle, and a diffuser. The cable is three meters, which is salon length rather than domestic.
Two of Remington’s claims here are footnoted to its own testing — the OPTIheat 24-hour styling result, and 90% more ions than a standard Remington dryer. Both are reported on this page as the manufacturer states them, footnotes included, because a claim measured by the maker is not the same as an independent one.
One fact about this shelf changes how the rest of this page reads: of the four European dryers here, this is the only one with a listing on amazon.com, though it carried no live offer when we checked. The Philips BHD510, the Grundig HD6080 and Remington’s own D3198 have no American listing, and none of the four publishes a price. So what this page offers is a specification comparison rather than a shopping one — 2400 W against 2300 and 2200, 150 km/h against 110 km/h and two blanks, three meters of cable against the single other length stated anywhere here. It is the best-documented of the four. The Philips BHD510, Remington D3198 and Grundig HD 6080 B are the other three on the hair dryers shelf; the 7 mm nozzle works with a round brush such as the Olivia Garden Ceramic + Ion 65, and blow-drying without a fight shows how.
A listing is not an offer: the reference exists on these stores, availability changes daily.

It is the motor type used in salon dryers, as against the DC motors in most household ones. AC motors are heavier and generally longer-lived. Remington states this one at 2400 W and 150 km/h — the second figure is the one that describes drying, and it is rare to see it published.
Directing air onto a single section, usually while working it with a round brush. The narrower the slot, the more concentrated the stream. Among the four European dryers on this shelf it is the narrowest; the Philips BHD510 ships 9 and 11 mm (0.35 and 0.43 in).
8.1/ 10
The highest air speed published on this shelf, on a salon-length cable. The step up that is actually a step up.
Drying thick or long hair often, where airflow and cable length stop being details.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet for grooming tools and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
2200 W · 3 heat + 2 speed · cold shot · 1.8 m (6 ft) cable · ceramic
Two thousand two hundred watts with three temperature and two airflow settings plus a cold shot, a ceramic coating stated for even heat, a narrow styling nozzle and a diffuser, on a 1.8 meter (5.9 ft) cable.
Best for: A second dryer, or a first one, where the price is the point and the diffuser still has to be in the box.
2300 W · 110 km/h · ThermoShield · 9 mm (0.35 in) and 11 mm (0.43 in) nozzles · diffuser
A 2300 watt dryer with a published air speed of 110 km/h, a ThermoShield overheat sensor that Philips states actively controls air temperature, two styling nozzles at 9 and 11 mm (0.43 in), and a volume diffuser.
Best for: Drying with heat kept in check by the dryer rather than by the person holding it.
2200 W · 3 heat + 2 speed, separate · cold shot · diffuser and nozzle
2200 watts, three heat settings and two fan speeds on separate controls, a cold shot, a ceramic-ionic grille, and both a styling nozzle and a diffuser in the box.
Best for: Everyday drying where the diffuser matters and the budget does not stretch.
