COMPLETE REVIEW

T3 is a reputable brand when it comes to hair dryers and haircare solutions in general. They are on the market since 2003 and they are renowned for their high performance, luxury products.

The Featherweight Compact is a high-end mini dryer, lightweight and with a folding handle, perfect for people who travel a lot.

Main specifications:

  • Dimensions: 9 x 4 x 9.8 inches
  • Dimensions when folded: 7.1 x 3.1 x 9.1 inches
  • Shipping weight: 1.8 pounds
  • Power: 1200W
  • Dual voltage
  • Ionic and Tourmaline SoftAire technology
  • Travel pouch included
  • Two combined speed and heat settings

The T3 micro is indeed a mini dryer, conceived for people who are constantly on the go. It is lightweight, small and foldable, so it fits easily in your travel bag.

It comes in several colors: white, black, white and rose gold.

The dryer has a gloss finish which makes it scratch resistant and comes with a travel pouch, a straightening nozzle and a concentrator. One thing we’ve noticed regarding the nozzle is that it falls off quite often and easily, which can become annoying in time. The cord of the T3 Featherweight is 2.68m long, which is considerably longer than in most travel dryers we’ve seen.

The T3 Featherweight has combined settings for heat and speed. There are two available options (low and high) plus a cold shot button. The dryer uses Tourmaline and ionic technology, which help you dry your hair faster and make it shinier. It also reduces frizz.  

In addition to being small, light and foldable, the T3 Featherweight Compact also comes with dual voltage, which makes it even more suitable for travel. This feature allows you to use the dryer anywhere in the world as long as you have an adapter.

The T3 is a very handy blow dryer, portable and reliable. However, it only packs 1200W of power, which may not be sufficient for some people, especially those with a curly or thick hair, because it might take longer to dry their hair and obtain satisfying results. But given its small, ‘travel’ size, we think this dryer performs just as good as any standard sized blow dryer. It may not be the fastest, but it can definitely stand its own. Moreover, the Micro Featherweight is way more comfortable and easy to hold in your hand for longer periods of time.

The T3 Micro Featherweight Compact is not a cheap dryer. However, it has a premium design and feel, it is easy to pack in your suitcase and does a good job drying your hair.

Pricing

On the official website the T3 Micro Featherweight is priced at $150. The hair dryer comes with a two-year warranty.
