Stylists who dry dozens of heads a day and feel it in their wrist and shoulder by the afternoon - the Rapido's main selling point over other BaByliss PRO dryers is reduced hand fatigue from a lighter housing, not extra power.

When the deciding factor is how the dryer feels after hour six of a shift rather than raw wattage, the Rapido's reduced weight is the actual differentiator BaByliss PRO built it around.

1. Attach one of the two included concentrator nozzles for directional airflow.
2. Choose from the 6 heat/speed settings - higher combinations for rough-drying wet hair, lower ones for finishing and smoothing.
3. Keep the rear intake vent unobstructed so the brushless motor draws air freely.
4. Press the cold-shot button to set each section once it's dry.
5. Store in the included drawstring pouch between uses to protect the housing.

Pros:

• Noticeably lighter housing than BaByliss PRO's other professional dryers, reducing arm fatigue over a full shift
• 6 heat/speed combinations cover both rough-drying and finishing work
• Nano Titanium barrel adds more even heat distribution than a bare metal barrel
• 4-year warranty is longer than many competing professional dryers

Cons:

• 2000W is mid-pack for a professional dryer - some competing models run higher
• Only 2 nozzles included, no diffuser for curl work
• Corded, so no cordless/travel flexibility
