I bought a new soft bonnet dryer off of Amazon. I've been having constant issues trying to find a new soft bonnet dryer that works well. Its been very hit and miss miss miss with the brands sold at Sally's. (I'm on my 4th Carel Soft Bonnet because they're so cheaply made! The one I'm using now has duct tape on the bonnet-to-hose connector!)
Anyway, last week I found a new dryer on Amazon, and decided to take a chance and order it. I was a little hesitant because I couldn't find any info on the wattage. I even emailed the company and got no response. But I ordered it anyway.
This is it: http://www.amazon.com/Lava-Soft-Bonnet-Dryer-Tourmaline/dp/B000X2DR1O/ref=pd_sbs_hpc_title_15
UPS delivered late last night. I'm planning on trying it out today. So far I can see that the bonnet is of MUCH better construction than the Carel. Its a heavier weight plastic, with good gathering and a extra long drawstring. I've had a Carel bonnet rip before. It would be hard to tear this one. Its very large too. I don't anticipate any problems getting all of my rollers in there.
It seems to heat up very quickly too.
So far what I don't like is that you have to leave the top up when you're using the dryer. The hose and the cord are attached inside the compartment. I can anticipate that lid getting in the way during use. We'll see.
