'Powerful' hair dryer 'as good as professional alternatives' 63% less on Amazon

Shoppers have hailed this hair dryer as "one of the best" on the market. Having the right hair dryer is an absolute essential for daily styling. With many on the market these days, it can be overwhelming choosing the right one. For anyone looking to target frizz and excess heat damage, then the Remington Shea Soft Hair Dryer has been branded "one of the best" to buy right now - and it's enjoying a massive 62 per cent reduction. Worth £49.99, which is still cheaper than other brands, Amazon has reduced the cost of this bestselling hair tool to just £18.99, saving an impressive £31 overall. The niftiest feature of this hair dryer is the shea oil-infused micro-conditioners that are released into the airflow during drying, as they leave the hair "soft" and "sleek" with each use. Meanwhile, hair fans can help make their locks more manageable thanks to the ionic technology that distributes millions of ions to help control the look of frizz and static. Powered by 220W for a quicker drying time, the Remington hair dryer also comes with three heat settings, two speed settings, alongside a cool shot to help keep the final style in place. It also comes complete with two attachments - a diffuser that dispenses the air to help maintain hair shape and a concentrator to help achieve that smooth, sleek blowout. Want to shop around before making a purchase? Then the Panasonic Healthy Shine Protection Hair Dryer also combats frizz and unruly-looking hair, and Boots has slashed the price from £109.99 to £55. For those keen on Dyson's iconic Super Sonic, but don't want to pay the hefty price-tag, we have spotted this similar looking Warda Volume Breeze Hair Dryer at Debenhams for £24.9, down from £139 - and it comes with a 'free gift'. Meanwhile, Remington's Shea Soft Hair Dryer has earned an impressive 4.6 rating based on hundreds of Amazon reviews that say it leaves hair "frizz free" and "as good as professional alternatives." Beauty deal of the week YSL Black Opium remains an iconic perfume - and we know where to bag the newest edition for its cheapest price. The YSL BLack Opium Le Parfum offers a more vanilla-heavy fragrance that has been hailed as "intoxicating" in reviews, with a 50ml now half-price at Boots after being dropped from £115 to £57.50. Massive saving aside, it's the cheapest it can be bought for at the moment, as rival retailers Superdrug, Lookfantastic and The Perfume Shop still stock it at full-price. This interpretation of the iconic perfume was only launched in 2022, with its original floral gourmand fragrance still offering its famed notes that include pear accord, green mandarin, orange flower petals, jasmine sambac and cinnamon. However, the iconic coffee accord has been twisted with four different, yet still complimentary, notes of vanilla, which is said to be its most important ingredient, to create an "unexpected smoothness, with uncompromising intensity." Meanwhile, the unique glossy bottle that has been crafted from a precious black stone, with its dazzling glitter emblem at the heart, eludes to the luxuriousness of the fragrance contained within. As for the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum, Boots shoppers wanting to take advantage of the half-price discount will be glad to hear it has amassed a 4.7 rating from thousands of customers who say it "lasts all day" and "literally turns heads" when it is worn. One five-star review read: "I love the fragrance. I used a lot the first time, not realising how intense it was. It lasts all day and continues to smell great. I literally turn heads when I wear it." Don't miss Boots' half-price discount on the YSL Black Opium Le Parfum (50ml) that is now £57.50, down from £115. A delighted customer wrote: "Frizz free hair drying! Amazing! Love this hair dryer and what a bargain! I have frizzy hair, this hair dryer comes with a changer! 3 heat settings, 3 speed settings." A second impressed Amazon user wrote: "This is by far the best lightweight hair dryer. Good power, dries hair in no time. And real sleek design." Not everyone was as overly impressed, as one three-star review criticising the performance and heat settings read: "The air flow won't blow your socks off and the hot setting would melt lead... But as a hair dryer it does what it says on the box." But one professional said in a five-star review: "Been a hairdresser for 20 years and the quality of this is just as good as professional alternatives. Lightweight but sturdy design and looks good." Another positive review read: "One of the most powerful and best hair dryers i've ever used for my hair! Great value for money and great for drying thick hair faster." Don't miss Amazon's 62 per cent discount on the Remington Shea Soft Hair Dryer available to shop now.

41 Prime Day makeup and skincare deals on products our beauty writer swears by

New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. Amazon Prime Day is officially here, and if you're anything like me — someone who's spent the past four years testing hundreds of beauty products — you know that this is the moment to stock up, splurge wisely, and maybe even discover a new holy grail. Every year, I sort through the chaos of markdowns and flash deals to find the true standouts, and this year's Prime Day beauty deals are especially worth your attention. From cult-favorite moisturizers to buzzy makeup launches and salon-level hair tools, Amazon Prime Day beauty deals in 2025 are hitting all the right notes. And trust me, I've tried enough formulas to know what actually delivers. Whether it's a luxe face oil that lives up to the hype or a $10 mascara that outperforms its pricier competitors, I've made it my mission to separate the hype from what's genuinely worth your money. So if you're unsure where to start or just want a shortcut to the good stuff, I've pulled together the best Prime Day beauty deals you can shop right now. This is the holy-grail list of the ones I'd personally recommend, use and repurchase. Consider this your beauty editor-approved cheat sheet to shopping Prime Day like a pro. Oh, and be sure to sign up for Amazon Prime to unlock the deals, if you haven't already. Click to jump to a specific section: Haircare deals | Makeup deals | Skincare deals | Dental & Health deals Haircare deals Amazon After testing a litany of blow dryers, the Shark FlexStyle Hair Dryer remains a trusty option to customize your blowout on your own terms. It's usually 25% off, so Prime Day is giving us a birthday present, just because. Amazon Fit for women 45 and older, the Nutrafol Women's Balance Hair Growth Nutraceutical underwent clinical trials and is proven to visibly thicken the hair and scalp, with consistent use. This hair growth product is dairy free, soy free and dermatologist-recommended, with this 20%-off discount, it's the lowest price ever for a one-month supply. The only downside is that you'll have to take four pills per day, but it's one of the most well-respected brands for hair growth, per our research and testing. Amazon Not going to lie, my best friend asked me if she could steal the COLOR WOW Dream Coat Supernatural Spray from my bathroom just the other day. It's that good, and it helps cut your blow-dry time in half once you step out of the shower. It beats its lowest price this year, so it's genuinely the best time to toss it in your beauty stockpile (otherwise known as your Amazon cart, *wink, wink*). Amazon The Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo just hit its record-lowest price of the year, making this investment-worthy hair cleanser worth the grab at this very moment. Paired with its conditioner, it's a match made in heaven, especially to strengthen and soften your locks. Amazon One of Post Wanted readers' most beloved guides is my review on the best shampoos. I've probably tried at least 300 different formulations by now, and the Pureology Hydrate Shampoo is one that'll withstand the test of time. It's one my former hairdresser's uses all the time, and I love its minty, fresh scent. By the way, it's at a jaw-dropping price; it's beating its all-time lowest price by 21% this Prime Day. So, it's an equally great time to buy its matching conditioner that's also on sale. Amazon I'll be honest, I don't reach for hair oils all too often, but it's a sweet treat every now and then. This one from Olaplex is a suitable option if you're looking to enhance your hair's vibrancy, and it beats its lowest price of the year by 7%. If you've been wanting to try Olaplex, now's your moment. Amazon After reviewing every product amika has to offer, I'm fully committed — in sickness and in health. Its Perk Up Dry Shampoo is far more than just a pretty bottle; its 20,000 monthly Amazon shoppers are just as obsessed as I am with its fresh scent and lightweight spritz. Now, its $20 price tag is 22% below its lowest price of the year, which is quite the remarkable stat if you ask me. Amazon While more studies have to be conducted on whether biotin *really* works for hair growth, I tested the PURA D'OR Anti Hair-Thinning Biotin Shampoo & Deep Moisturizing Conditioner and love how the duo makes my hair feel revitalized and healthy. More than 20,000 shoppers flock to it monthly, and it's surely worth a try if you're looking to switch up your hair products. Amazon Enter the hair product that I can probably talk for hours about with my hairdresser: the Redken All Soft Conditioner. It's the default successor to any shampoo (seriously, it pairs well with any shampoo) and is a luxury beauty steal. While it's on sale, grab that big bottle. Amazon When it comes to the once-a-week hair mask, the amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask and I frequently have a meet-cute. The scent is unbelievably good, it hydrates my hair and gives just a *tiny* bit more oomph than your standard conditioner. It's 30% off, which is just about as good as it gets. Amazon More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers have grabbed the Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements for Women in the past month, as its three-month supply containing the brand's proprietary collagen complex has been seen to present noticeable results in the Amazon reviews section. We haven't tried the brand quite yet, but it's a favorite among Post Wanted readers and is nearing 30% off for Prime Day. Amazon Trend report: TYMO is one of the best brands on Amazon for budget-friendly hair tools that measure up to more expensive ones you'll find all over TikTok. The ROVY 3 Barrel Curling Iron & Hair Crimper is at its lowest price of the year, ringing in at 42% off. Amazon Finally, a curling iron that's easy to use and evenly distributes heat. The Bio Ionic Long Barrel Styler Curling Iron is versatile, ergonomically designed and ready for your next event. It rarely goes on sale, so Prime Day is really giving us a reason to celebrate. Makeup deals Amazon Hot take: I like the LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm better than its as-seen-everywhere Lip Sleeping Mask that comes in the tub. It provides the Goldilocks level of hydration and shine without being too goopy or sticky, and it's at a historically low price point. In other words, it may be your best bet to stock up on a few different varieties. Amazon Skip the gimmicky lash serums and move forward with what I consider the only one to work with consistent use. There's a reason more than 10,000 shoppers purchase it each month, and it's 30% off to celebrate Prime Day in the best way possible: with longer lashes. You have to commit to daily use for best results, but it's worth integrating into your evening ritual. Amazon To 'take the day away' as they say, the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Ultra-Soft Cleansing Towelettes are what I come back to if I want a quick swipe off. That's likely why this affordable beauty bundle has garnered more than 110,000 reviews; they're easy to use, plant-based and — drumroll please — are just more than 40% off for Prime Day. Amazon Whether you're 15 or 55, the Laura Geller Baked Balance-N-Brighten Color-Correcting Powder Foundation is a winner for your skin. It's loaded with light to medium coverage that's buildable and gives that your-skin-but-better look. It's a No. 1 Amazon best-seller that's inching toward 50% this Prime Day. Amazon Available in the TikTok-viral shade 'Black Honey' as well as 'Pink Honey,' the Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm is a universally adored product for its ability to flatter just about any skin tone. It's revolutionary in that regard, and it's at its lowest price of the year, so you can skip the Macy's counter at your mall and order it while Prime Day lasts. Skincare deals Amazon OK, I'm here to tell you that the EltaMD UV Daily Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 40 is an item that should definitely be in your cart this Prime Day. The brand is a consistent favorite in my regularly updated review on the best face sunscreens, and this one offers just the right amount of color and glow, without compromising on sun protection. The brand has a non-tinted version on sale this Prime Day, too. Amazon I can't count the number of times I've recommended the COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin 96% Power Essence to nearly everyone (including the nation, a là my COSRX brand review), but it's plenty. Korean skincare is where it's at, and this post-cleanser product will create that dewy finish that's simply captivating. It's a No. 1 Amazon best-seller with more than 86,000 glowing reviews — just as glowy as your skin will be. Amazon After reviewing quite the assortment from La-Roche Posay, its Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer stands out as a reliable, skin-soothing moisturizer that I'd recommend to just about anyone. With an impressive 90K+ purchases this month alone, its formula contains ceramides and niacinmide for that ooh-la-la feel. Fun fact: it's just shy of its lowest price ever by $1, so it's a sweet time to buy it at an awesome price. Amazon Super is in this product's name for a reason, and it's because the Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 is a cosmetically elegant formulation that feels weightless on the skin. It's fragrance-free as well, which my sensitive skin adores, and it beats its lowest price of the year by 13%. It hasn't been a better time to pick up this worth-the-price-tag SPF. Amazon If you want to skip the in-person laser hair removal, the Braun Silk-Expert Pro 5 IPL Hair Removal System is arguably the best model you can purchase on Amazon. It's at its lowest price ever, touting visible hair reduction in only two uses. There are 10 power levels to adjust its settings to your comfort, too. Amazon One of the best hyaluronic acid serums I reviewed isn't more than $50, and now you can grab it for only $30. It contains not one but two types of the superstar hydrating ingredient, along with niacinamide to help sooth the skin. Ocean-kissed skin isn't too far away if you buy it during Prime Day, especially at 25% off. Amazon The Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask is essentially a case study on how a Korean face mask can *really* set the scene for the industry at large. I reviewed the mask (and some other goodies from the brand), and can say with 100% certainty that this four-pack will become your new favorite at-home spa treatment, especially for only $15 during Prime Day. Amazon Prime Day occurs annually in July, which means it's the opportune time to stock up on your sunscreen sprays. I have an entire dresser drawer full of sunscreens galore (Hawaii honeymoon, I'm coming for ya), and this one from Sun Bum smells just like vacation for only $13 right now. Sun's out, wallet's out — and happy. Amazon Pores no more, am I right? When 'Korean skincare' and 'pore reducers' are mixed together, it's right up my alley. Infused with 4.5% AHA lactic acid and 0.45% BHA salicylic acid, it helps reduce greasiness and calm the skin. It's more than 50% off, which is quite the hefty markdown (thanks, Prime Day). Amazon If you want to up the ante on your skin's brightness level, the TruSkin Vitamin C Serum is the best I reviewed. Ultimately, any good vitamin C serum will give you that lit-from-within look, but the way that this formulation works is beyond. For 56% off (and with 150K+ gleaming reviews), it has that it-factor that you simply have to try at least once. Amazon The best oil cleanser I reviewed is the Anua Heartleaf Pore-Control Cleansing Oil, and it's incredibly gentle, versatile and worth every penny. Use it in the morning to wake yourself, and/or use it in the evening to rid away impurities. More than 80,000 shoppers swipe their cards on this beauty staple as well, and it's on a pretty sweet discount. Amazon It's lavish, it's luxurious and it layers onto your skin like a dream. It's the Nécessaire The Body Lotion, and it's one of the fanciest products in my bathroom. It's hydrating, too, but its chic bottle and serotonin boost that comes with each application makes it *chef's kiss.* It's also 20% off in any size you add to your cart. Amazon The Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Cream is the Poster Product for appealing to any age, any person. With 4.5% squalane, it's all about nurturing your skin's moisture barrier, which is all-the-talk right now. It's 30%-off discount is near its lowest price of the year, so it's a great time to pick up a tub, especially if you have dry skin. Amazon Hello, sweet Prime Day savings. When Sunday Riley is on sale, we run, and its cherished C.E.O. Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil is that luminous elixir that deserves a spot in your Prime Day cart. It brightens and revitalizes the skin with its potent blend of antioxidant-rich ingredients. Namely, it's infused with THD ascorbate, a stable form of vitamin C, and golden turmeric, it not only enhances radiance but also helps reduce the appearance of redness and uneven skin tone. The addition of red raspberry and evening primrose oils provides deep hydration as well, which leaves my complexion plump and glowing without any greasy residue. Amazon If you're someone who plays hard with SPF (pun totally intended), you'll appreciate a good stock-up on your sunscreen. The Supergoop! PLAY Everyday Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 is one I simply can't ignore this Prime Day, and it beats its lowest price of the year by 12%. Double-win. Amazon The medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask's lowest price ever was $11, so snagging this on-the-rise skincare mask is a purchase I approve of this Prime Day. It helps reduce sagging and dullness and is the epitome of glass skin that fellow Korean skincare products are praised for. With more than 70,000 purchases in the past month, you and me both (yes, you) will be the next ones this Prime Day. Amazon Beekman 1802's Milk Rx Advanced Better Aging Cream redefines anti-aging skincare with a gentle yet powerful formula that sidesteps the irritation often linked to retinol. At its heart lies its innovative Renexosome complex, a blend of milk protein exosomes and Reneseed polypeptides that has been clinically proven to boost collagen production by 31%, while visibly lifting and firming skin when used consistently. It's *definitely* one to add to your cart. Amazon LANEIGE's Cream Skin CeraPeptide Toner & Moisturizer is quite the groundbreaking hybrid that reimagines hydration with its silky, milky texture. It's infused with a potent blend of ceramides and peptides to replenish moisture and fortify the skin barrier, leaving my complexion plump and resilient whenever I use it. Now, for 20% off, it's 100% worth tossing into your Amazon cart. Dental & Health deals Amazon Good news: the Crest 3D Whitestrips are the lowest price in the past year, so it's the *prime* time to stock up on the at-home teeth whitening kit that we swear by for pearly whites. They're an excellent value, too, as this bundle includes 22 treatments. Amazon Post Wanted readers (and your dentist) love electric toothbrushes, and the Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 5300 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush is on one of the best Prime Day deals yet. This year, its lowest price ever was $80, and this four-day shopping event beats that by 13% (we did our research, of course). Amazon To rid your teeth of unwanted plaque and debris, the Waterpik Cordless Advanced 2.0 Water Flosser for Teeth is the item to snag for 40% off its original price. It's a top brand that Amazon shoppers are obsessed with, and it's at a price lower than its usual discounts. Amazon You don't have to apply your skincare with a brush or your fingers; you can drink it, too. Vital Proteins just had a whole new makeover, now including hyaluronic acid and vitamin C in its unflavored protein powder. It's a true beauty enthusiast's essential for whipping up in a blender for morning-glow smoothies, and it beats its lowest price of the year by 13% off. The perfect time to buy, actually. Amazon Trending now: the Lumineux Enamel-Safe Whitening Strips that more than 10,000 Amazon shoppers are, quite literally, sprinting to. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, this pack comes with 21 treatments to render your smile a bit brighter than before. They're only $30, which is practically a win.

'Fast drying' hair dryer that gives 'professional results' under £20 in Amazon deal

Beauty buffs will need to act fast, as the limited deal won't be around for long. Hair dryers have come a long way over the years. In fact, many of the best models on the market are said to give that salon-style blow-dry straight from home. Like many beauty devices on the market, they can often be quite pricey, with the popularity of Shark and Dyson making it seem like we have to spend lots of money for high quality. However, this isn't always the case, as the Remington Ionic Dry Hair Dryer, which has been hailed as one of "the best" shoppers can buy, retails at just £56.99 - but it can be bought for under £20 thanks to an Amazon deal. The online delivery giant has slashed the cost of this highly coveted dryer down to just £19.99, saving a staggering 56 per cent and £37 off the RRP, although the deal is available for a "limited" time only, so we'd advise bagging it while it's discounted. Offering a stylish, sleek black design, it uses a power 2200W motor that delivers fast, efficient styling, with three heat and two speed settings having shoppers saying that it provides "super versatile" styling options. Another key feature beauty buffs will love is the ionic conditioning that provides multiple benefits such as a faster drying time, all while leaving hair smoother, shinier and less damaged. It also comes complete with a concentrator attachment that can help achieve that smooth, sleek effect, while the diffuser will be suitable for anyone looking to enhance their curls. For those waiting for Amazon Prime Day for any bigger discounts, there are other places to shop for similar bargains. For example, Boots has knocked the cost of the Revamp Progloss 5000 Ionic Hair Dryer from £79.99 to £39.99. Debenhams is also another good spot for deals on professional styling tools, with the Alivio Hair Dryer, that looks very similar to Dyson's Supersonic, being reduced from £49.99 to just £19.99. Bargain hunters keen to take advantage of Amazon's limited time deal on the Remington Hair Dryer will be pleased to hear it averages an impressive 4.6 rating, with glowing reviews saying it leaves hair "frizz free" and provides "professional-quality results at home." One delighted customer wrote: "Absolutely love this Remington hair dryer! The 2200W power ensures fast drying, and the ionic conditioning leaves my hair smooth and frizz-free. Beauty deal of the week Looking to try out a new perfume, then it might be worth trying the new Narciso Rodriguez For Her Musc Nude Eau De Parfum (50ml). Making its debut in 2024, this floriental perfume has already been making waves, with some reviews already branding it as "one of the best" that is available. For those who have been wanting to give this new fragrance a go, it's officially available for half-price at Boots, with the health and beauty chain cutting the cost of a 50ml bottle from £96 to just £48. Created by renowned perfumer Sonia Constant, Musc Nude was created as a new interpretation on the chypre family, with a "second skin" quality that has been designed to wrap around the wearer like a "protective armour." Said to be a "celebration of eternal femininity", it opens with top notes of piquant pink peppercorn accord that have been combined with an abstract floral bouquet of delicate white flowers. At the perfume's core, there is a heart of musk that has been infused with floral notes of precious rose oil and orange blossom, before drying down to rich Tonka beans, cedarwood and patchouli to create a touch of warmth. The feminine perfume is housed in an all-over nude pink bottle with a frosted finish that has been topped with a matching matte cap. Offering sophisticated lines, the design matches the elegance of the perfume included within. One five-star review read: "I recently received a sample of this and I am so glad I did because the smell is so lovely. You need to purchase this immediately. One of the best scents I've ever smelt before and the scent lasts all day too which is a bonus." The new Narciso Rodriguez for her Musc Nude Eau de Parfum (50ml) is available for half-price at Boots now. "The multiple heat and speed settings make it super versatile, and the cool shot locks in my style. The included diffuser and concentrator are perfect for different styling needs. Highly recommend for professional-quality results at home!" Someone else impressed with the results added: "This is ideal for blowdrying and filling out my rather thin fine hair - makes it look thicker and straightens without damaging the hair." Another happy shopper wrote: "Over the years I have bought many hairdryers that are not very powerful or stop working not long afterwards. I purchased this one as a friend had recommended it. "I have had this for 2 months now and this is the best hairdryer I have ever purchased, it's lightweight and powerful. Hair dries really quickly. Would definitely recommend." One shopper who critiqued the design of the dryer left a three-star review reading: "Quite heavy to hold and the position of the control switches means that you tend to catch the switches whilst using, altering heat and power." By comparison, someone else pleased with the dryer wrote: "I was so surprised with this hair dryer , it's so lightweight . And I didn't need to straighten my hair after I'd use it , next to no frizz … and my hair is thick & long . Defo recommend." Shop Amazon's limited 65 per cent off deal on the Remington Ionic Dry Hair Dryer now.

GE Appliances Doubles Down on U.S. Manufacturing With $490 Million Laundry Plant Investment at Its Global Headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE Appliances, a Haier company, today announced a $490 million investment at its Louisville, Kentucky global headquarters and largest manufacturing site to create its most advanced manufacturing plant for production of clothes washers. The project will reshore production of the GE Profile™ UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer and the GE® and GE Profile™ UltraFresh Front Load Washer line-up from China, creating 800 new, full-time jobs and cementing Kentucky's position as a global hub for advanced appliance manufacturing. This investment positions the company to become the biggest American washer manufacturer, builds on GE Appliances' 10-year, $3.5 billion investment in U.S. manufacturing, and reinforces its position as America's #1 appliance company. 1 'We are bringing laundry production to our global headquarters in Louisville because manufacturing in the U.S. is fundamental to our 'zero-distance' business strategy to make appliances as close as possible to our customers and consumers,' said Kevin Nolan, president & CEO, GE Appliances. 'This decision is our most recent product reshoring and aligns with the current economic and policy environment.' 'Today's announcement further secures Louisville as the global headquarters of GE Appliances, a Haier company, and brings more world-class, unparalleled appliance manufacturing back to the United States,' said Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear. 'This new investment strengthens one of our vital Kentucky assets and underscores our state's reputation as America's destination of choice for advanced manufacturing and job creation.' A Model Factory for the Appliance Industry This investment will move production of more than 15 models of front load washers to Building 2 at Appliance Park – bringing the total area of clothes care production to the equivalent of 33 football fields. Next door, Building 1 at Appliance Park produces top load washers and front load dryers. Building 2 will be redesigned as a model factory, showcasing the latest in automation, robotics, and material-handling technologies, including AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots). The plant is vertically integrated and will include in-house manufacturing of critical parts such as stainless-steel baskets and cabinets, high-precision metal stamping and forming, and injection-molding and production equipment, delivering products with the quality, craftsmanship and market-leading features consumers have come to expect from products carrying GE Appliances' brands. The new manufacturing lines will open in 2027. Product Highlights That Wow GE Profile™ UltraFast Combo Washer/Dryer – This ventless 2-in-1 laundry appliance washes and dries full-sized loads in the same drum, eliminating the transfer step and delivering a large laundry load ready to wear in about two hours 2.

Philips 8000 Series Hair Dryer launched: Price, features and all details

Every hair dryer promises damage-free drying. So what sets Philips' latest launch apart? Philips has introduced its 8000 Series Hair Dryer in India, aimed at users who want quick, salon-like results without putting their hair at risk. Designed for daily use, the device brings together speed and protection — two things that don't usually go together in heat styling. At the centre of the new model is a brushless DC motor that helps deliver quick and even airflow. Philips says the dryer can cut drying time to under three minutes, which is a welcome change for people who want to save time in their daily routine. The focus here is not just speed. Thermo Shield Advanced sensors monitor the heat continuously while you use it and adjust the temperature in real time. That helps prevent hair from overheating, which is where this model tries to set itself apart. It treats hair care and performance as equally important. Along with managing heat, this hair dryer also focuses on improving how your hair looks and feels after styling. It releases negative ions, which Philips says helps reduce frizz, lock in moisture, and leave your hair smooth and shiny. This can be especially helpful if you style your hair often and want to keep it soft rather than dry or brittle. The dryer also comes with a few features designed around real life routines. There's a gentle mode for those with sensitive scalps or finer hair, along with adjustable settings that allow users to boost shine or reduce flyaway. The airflow is kept even thanks to what Philips calls dual airstream technology, which helps spread heat more consistently across the hair. For added convenience, the 8000 Series includes a cool shot button to help set styles in place, plus attachments for different drying needs. The device is lightweight and foldable, which makes it travel friendly and easier to store at home. Philips 8000 Series Hair Dryer is priced at ₹ 19,995 and is now available both online and in retail stores. It falls into the premium category, but its features are meant for people who use styling tools regularly and want something that's gentle on their hair over time. This dryer is clearly meant for more than just quick styling. It's for people who care about what heat does to their hair and want a tool that's smart about it. With a focus on moisture, protection, and ease of use, Philips seems to be offering something that fits into daily routines without making hair health an afterthought. If you use a dryer often, this one might be worth a closer look.
