Dunno about quiet, it's a fan blowing air after all, but wifey seems to like her GHD one.  It does seem less shrill than previous ones she has had, but still noisy.

Anyone have any thoughts on the above i.e if they exist, if they exist in NZ, if they aren't ridiculously overpriced (i.e. anything with Dyson in the name).

 

Almost completely silent, very reasonably priced, and with optional rinse on Tuesday.

A standard 1100 watt fan heater is much much quieter. 

Just have it on the wall in the bathroom and stand under it. 

gehenna: I think you're unlikely to find something quiet unless it uses some kind of telekinesis.

That would actually do the job, a large slow-moving and therefore quiet fan rather than small whiny turbine in a sound-insulated box in another room, with a tube to carry the air to where you are, it'd just need to be able to handle a bit of back pressure.  It's doable, but would be a bit of a bodge.

Have seen hints that the brushless motor / fanless ones are a bit quieter, and anything quieter would be a plus. OK, its my fault for suggesting to 'er indoors that instead of heading off downstairs to blast her hair dry she use the recently done up ensuite. Big mistake. I could un-hint I suppose, but thought I'd try this first.

The brushless motor in the Airwrap is certainly no quieter than anything else she's used in the past.

Oh well, so much for that idea then...
