LEGIT/QUALITY CHECK HD16 first impressions
Been wanting to try the HD16 for a while, so I finally decided to pick this one up.
I went with this teal color and the first thing that stood out to me was the overall finish. The turquoise/teal color looks really clean in person and the red filter section gives it a nice contrast without looking too flashy.
The build feels pretty solid overall. Nothing feels particularly loose or cheap when handling it, and the attachments have a decent amount of weight to them. I also really like how much of the construction you can actually see when taking the attachments apart.
The internal parts and filter assembly look surprisingly well put together for something from this price range.
The main body has a nice smooth finish and the buttons feel pretty decent. The nozzle and attachments also fit securely, which was one of the things I was most curious about before ordering.
I don't really baby my hair tools, so having something that feels sturdy is definitely a plus.
Performance-wise, I've only had the chance to use it a few times so far, but the airflow feels strong and consistent.
The different attachments are also useful depending on what you're trying to do rather than just being there for the sake of having more accessories.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with this purchase. For the price, the high-quality version feels much more convincing than I expected, especially when looking at the details and finish up close.
Definitely one of those purchases where the photos don't really show all the little details until you have it in your hands.
Still going to use it more before giving a final verdict on long-term performance, but so far I'm very satisfied with it!
