Rank #1 in Best Hair Dryer 2026: 10 Ranked by Spec Sheet, Not Slogans
Remington PROluxe AC9140 Hair Dryer
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Remington PROluxe AC9140 is a corded 2400 W hair dryer in Rose Gold, with ionic conditioning and a long-life AC motor. Its bullets sell a salon-quality motor, 90% more ions for frizz-free shine and styles that supposedly hold for 16 hours. At £37.49 with a 4.7 rating from 3,533 Amazon reviews, it takes the top spot in this guide.
This is the listing in the guide where the wattage survives cross-checking: the bullet says 2400W and the specification table says 2400 watts — the same number twice. The weight is where the table gets loose. It lists 400 g, no bullet quotes a weight at all, and some reviewers still describe the dryer as heavy and loud. The table also carries a row titled Unit Count that reads '1 centimeters', which is not a unit count for a hair dryer. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing as it is written — its bullets, its specification table and its customer reviews. We have not tested the dryer ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Love! Is lightweight, powerful. Plenty of options re heat. Feels and looks nice. 3 attachments, that I don't personally need, but there if you do. It did have a smell for the first couple of weeks, was a bit concerned, but then it went. The outer housing cools down to the touch quickly which I like.My last hairdryer was good, and nearly bought it again but wanted something different. This one is even better. Would definitely recommend. And would definitely buy again, if the right price.”
Verified purchase“Even though it's a bit heavy and loud, it's heat settings are excellent and dries hair very quickly.”

Questions people ask
How much power does the Remington PROluxe AC9140 have?
The first bullet says 2400W and the specification table says 2400 watts, so both the advert and the table give the same figure.
How heavy is the Remington PROluxe AC9140?
The specification table lists 400 g. No bullet quotes any weight, so 400 g is the only weight figure the listing gives, and some reviewers still call the dryer heavy.
How many speed settings does it have?
The table lists 2 speeds. The bullets give no number, and one reviewer mentions plenty of options for heat rather than two.
What comes in the box with the Remington PROluxe AC9140?
Two answers appear in the same listing: the Included Components row says Concentrator, while the Item Highlight row says it includes a diffuser and 2 concentrators.
Can I use it on curly hair?
Remington lists Hair Type as All, and the Item Highlight row mentions a diffuser; one reviewer says the attachments let her daughter use it on curly hair while she uses it on straight hair.
Where is the Remington PROluxe AC9140 made?
The Country Of Origin row says China, and the manufacturer contact given is Spectrum Brands (UK) Ltd in Manchester for the UK and Ireland.
