I just had to read this post. This sounds like a VIP question that I would worry about. LOL
Personally, I didn't care too much for the blow dryer - but I use a 1750 - it is a typical wall mounted 'personal sized' dryer - great in a pinch. I always pack my own
Well...we're back and it is 1600 watts, round wall mount and as DS said...sounds like a leaf blower!!!!! It WAS loud! served it's purpose well enough. We had rain each day so it really didn't matter, except to help dry shoes!
