ASCII.jp Can you talk while drying?

In recent years, stylish "household appliances" have been attracting attention. Opportunities to see products from overseas manufacturers such as toaster ovens, microwave ovens, heaters, and coffee makers have increased, and even in the domestic market, fashionable designs and excellent functionality have increased.

Weekly ASCII No. 1116 picks up and features the popular "purchased dryer" that seems to be selling now. You can buy a dryer for about 2000 yen, but what is the difference between a dryer that costs more than 10,000 yen or 20,000 yen and a normal dryer? Below is a short excerpt from the main text to show you the features.

Don't just let it dry! Hair dryer that can also be used for care

My hair dryer does not dry. I bought a quiet model a few years ago, but it was too weak. thx. Born in 1983, Kajimen's hobby is housework. My name is Ryo Morita, and I'm in charge of consumer electronics in the ASCII editorial department.

My wife gets tired of drying her hair and starts doing other things, so it takes more time and she criticizes me for not having enough time. I want to replace the dryer. I want to change my life. When I looked into it, it seems that recently there has been a boom in large-volume hair dryers that dry hair quickly.

This is it. Dyson "Supersonic", which sells for 48,600 yen, is also popular. Many other products are in the 20,000 yen range. Is it too expensive? Let's compare a representative large air volume model to see how much it differs from a 1500 yen dryer.

In this project, we will use Panasonic's "Turbo Dry EH5 101P", which has a retail price of about 1500 yen excluding tax, as a reference model. I compared and verified four points of functionality.

I want it to be quiet even if it dries quickly. The noise sources are the sound of the wind and the drive noise of the fan and motor. After measuring the volume (dB) of the drive unit using a sound level meter, I lined them up according to whether they actually sound good on the ears. Supersonic is interesting. Although the volume itself does not change, it has a super-high-pitched acoustic characteristic and is not harsh on the ears. I could hear normal voices even when I was talking.
