What wattage should a travel hair dryer have?

Most travel dryers fall between 1000W and 1875W. Lower-watt models like the 1000W BaBylissPRO are lighter and better for fine or short hair, while 1600–1875W Conair and Revlon models dry thick hair faster but run heavier and louder. Note that many hotels and overseas outlets cap usable wattage, so the highest-wattage models sometimes run on a reduced setting abroad.
