The dryer is absolutely wonderful.
My head was covered with mostly gray magnetics and my head fit comfortably under it. The dryer also had more than enough oomph to dry the bottom rollers, no problem. It's simple to put together, very stable and adjusts to any chair.
It's nothing and i do mean nothing like the soft bonnet piece of ya-ya i had before (LAME/TAME and INSANE).
The hot gets mighty hot - too hot for me actually (ymmv) - i turned it to medium and used the ion. Sat under the dryer for about 20-30 minutes, got up did some chores, sat back under again for another 20-30 minutes and my hair was dry cept one or 2 rollers with a bit more hair in them (10 more minutes). Then used the cool setting for about 10 minutes to set it good.
Remember, i've got about 5-6 inches of natural, the rest is texturized to about 75-80%. The relaxed part of my hair dried extra smooth, soft and no frizz. I had to flat iron my roots, i'm gonna find some mesh-type rollers to see if i can tighten up the tautness on the roots.
LOVED THE CURLS GIRLS!!
i don't know anything about the Pibbs so i can't compare what i'm not familiar to but will say this:
This is one bad butt dryer and it's the best $133 (w/shipping
) that i've ever spent!!
No regrets at all - cept my rollersetting (non)skills

I recently bought a Gold N Hot Pro 1875 Watt Ionic Hard Bonnet Dryer, for around $60. Pic is attached. It works pretty well, though I haven't actually tried it for a rollerset. I've been using it for DC and to help speed up my usual airdrying.
It's funny looking, though. Sort of reminds me of the creatures from the "Alien" movies...LOL.

Let me know what you think of this, please.

I know that sucka is a winnner if you only had one wet roller after 1 hour with all that hair on your head! LOLanky said:
My hair will dry in 15 minutes if that's the case! LOL
You are right that thing will singe your scalp if you don't watch it! I can't use it on all the way hot! Whew

Review of the Gold N Hot Pro 1875 Watt Ionic Hard Bonnet Dryer:
I really like it so far! I place mine on a folding wooden table tray and set up a chair underneath, fits perfectly. I've only used the medium and low settings so far; I think the hot setting would be way too much for my hair/scalp. The dryer isn't all that noisy from the outside, but I can't hear the TV when I'm sitting under it.
Keep in mind, I haven't actually used this for a rollerset yet, just for speeding up my usual airdrying and for deep conditioning. Might try a rollerset this weekend. But I use the black and purple rollers, which I think will fit just fine under the dryer. I can't speak for those who may use larger rollers or have longer hair! My hair would probably get completely dry in about an an hour or so using medium heat.

I have the Pink ION from Sally's and it gets HOT. Someone already mentioned it but the only problem with this dryer, even though I really wouldn't call it a problem, is the fact that it can be a little bit tricky to fold the hood away. Every time I do it, I feel like I'm gonna break it.

i just went ahead with the pink ion, though i salivated when i saw the babyliss stand up in my local bss for $99...i found the gold n hot alien thing, but the same bss was charging $39.99...i'm like "nope!"...sally's didn't have it, but that coupon sign was staring me in the face for the pink ion, so i picked it up...i'll be using it tomorrow...
