I bought one just for the hell of it once (It was $12) and ripped it apart. its literally just a box with a resistor inside :-) total snake oil. No I can't say that as snake oil can actually be useful :-)

hey it looks like a little black box and I was curious what was inside :-) and I think your being a bit generous on the 35 cent resistor. more like 3.5 cents :-) hehe

I honestly don't think the WHOLE THING cost more than 35 cents. its literally a tiny black plastic box with a resistor inside and a wire coming out of each end and a little sticker.

I wish I could find the pictures. there on a drive or disk around here somewhere :-)

I gues the only reason they can do that is because they offer money back? minus shipping cost. many people buy things with the money back guarantee, but never ask for it back. gravy way to make money. lol

:lol horn.

I understand. :-/ From the looks of it the CONAIR Pro Style 1600 has both the blue switch for cold air and red for hot air. 'Blue for cold' means denser cold air will give you more "power" and 'red for hot air' will give you better FE. The 1600 must be a very advanced model to have such a big number. ;) ;)

Kitty is a very good model. :thumb
