There is a product category from which we only buy the product if the old one breaks down or the one just purchased does not meet expectations. One such product in today's short review is the Uniorange H6 hair dryer.

Unboxing

Cute, elegant and understated, the Uniorange H6 box is also quite simple in its contents. Safely packed inside, you will find a hair dryer, a magnetic nozzle and a short user manual.

First impressions and quality

You can feel the quality of this dryer already when you hold it in your hands. The materials chosen (plastic body) look flawless and the assembly is solid. Two buttons built into the handle of the dryer have an engraved pattern, so they are easy to use even with wet hands.

Looking at the case from the back, you will also see a mirror and another button, and this part hides one unusual feature - a color information display. You might be wondering why a screen for a dryer? Read more about it in "what did you like?" section.

The nozzle of the Uniorange H6 dryer is made of the same material as the dryer itself, so it also feels quality. A grill for air intake is built into the bottom of the handle, and you only need to turn it easily with one hand to clean it.

The dryer cable is inserted into the housing with reinforcements, so it should not break when bending. Unfortunately, the color of the cord does not match the color of the body and it is not traditionally black or white - it is gray and in our opinion does not match this color dryer.

In its design, the H6 dryer strongly resembles Dyson dryers. Just to make sure, we also borrowed a Dyson HD07 dryer for testing and indeed, they are very similar, but also have a few key differences. Dyson dryers are hollow in their body, and all information about drying is transmitted by several LED lights at the back of the body.

Meanwhile, the Uniorange dryer utilizes this space by installing an information display. The physical buttons are virtually identical, but the Dyson has 1 level more in terms of blower speed options (3 total). The nozzles of both dryers connect magnetically, and the Uniorange nozzle is much easier to remove and replace.

What did we like?

One of my favorite aspects of this dryer is its design. Visually, this is a very attractive product and looks premium. If you want to talk to the person next to you while drying your hair, you can definitely do so without even turning off the dryer. From experience, things advertised as super quiet are usually not that quiet, but the Uniorange H6 lived up to its hype.

I liked that this dryer has several drying options: constant temperature, short and long hair, child and variable temperature. I liked the child mode the most - the blowing becomes less powerful, and at the same time the emitted sound is much weaker. Also, this dryer has 3 heat options: cool, warm and hot. When a certain mode is selected, the color around the screen changes to blue, orange and red respectively.

The Uniorange H6 has a touch sensor built into the front of the handle where the fingers/palm rest. After activating the function and putting the dryer to the side, or simply releasing the sensor, the dryer turns off, and when you pick it up again and touch the sensor, it turns on. This function works flawlessly, but it's a shame that you need to activate it with a long press every time you plug the dryer into an electrical outlet.

The included nozzle attaches to the dryer magnetically, which is great for changing its direction to any position. I really liked the fact that even after using the hottest mode, this nozzle does not get very hot, so the direction can be changed during use without any injuries.

The manufacturer claims that this dryer uses plasma and ionizer technologies. To ordinary users, this may sound like another marketing gimmick, but it's not just catchy names.

Due to these properties of the dryer, the hair is less affected by static electricity (it is felt more in the winter season, so it was not possible to fully test it), the hair is softer, splits less and does not fall out after drying. We didn't think about these technologies and functions while using them, but after a while we noticed that it is indeed noticeable. After testing the Dyson HD07, the result is exactly the same.

What we didn't like?

110,000 engine revolutions per minute looks impressive, but in real use, it is not so impressive. For its size, the blowing power (speed) seems good, but could be a little higher.

Usually, we set the hairdryer to the maximum power, even though it often takes longer to dry the hair. Compared to the Dyson HD07, the Uniorange hairdryer has a power level similar to Dyson's middle setting, while Dyson has a higher power level of 3. This results in faster hair drying with Dyson. However, in practical use, the Uniorange hairdryer performs similarly to Dyson, providing users with a comparable experience

Despite the blowing speed, it is quite difficult to find negative functions in the Uniorange H6 hair dryer. All of the things mentioned below are more minor things than real negatives that would make you seriously consider buying this dryer.

In cold air mode, the blowing air is still a bit too hot. Both the Dyson HD07 and a personal dryer that is over 10 years old blow air that is at least a few degrees cooler. For personal use, the length of the Uniorange H6 cable is sufficient, but it may be a little short when drying another person.

Verdict

The Uniorange H6 hair dryer perfectly performs its main drying function. Visually, it's a very attractive device, and all the additional features are well thought out and useful.

Obviously, the competition for this dryer is Dyson, but the latter costs at least a couple of times more. For those who follow brands & has more budget to spend, the Dyson would be a reasonable choice, but if you don't want to invest an impressive amount for a hair dryer, the Uniorange H6 will be a great choice.
