AGARO HD-1120 Hair Dryer Review: Powerful, Loud, Heavy
Our verdict
The AGARO HD-1120 is a cheap 2000 W AC-motor hair dryer that owners say dries thick hair quickly, but it is heavy at about 1 kg, often called loud, needs a 15 A socket and has unclear warranty terms.
Buy it if
- Long or thick hair on a tight budget
- Curly hair, using the bundled diffuser
Skip it if
- You have a weak wrist or style your hair for long stretches
- Your dressing area only has a 5 A socket
- Noise bothers you or others at home
What we like
- 2000 W AC motor; owners consistently report fast drying
- Concentrator, diffuser and comb attachments listed
- Two speeds, three heat settings and a cool shot
- Long 2.5 m cord, per one listing
What we don’t
- About 1–1.2 kg, roughly three times a compact dryer
- Noise is the most common owner complaint
- Warranty listed as 2 years, 12 months or 0 months depending on the seller
- Some owners report the comb attachment breaking

The AGARO HD-1120 is for people with long or thick hair who want fast drying without spending much, and who don’t mind a heavy, noisy tool. It pairs a 2000 W AC motor with a concentrator, diffuser and comb, which is a lot of hardware for the price. The trade-offs are weight, noise, the need for a 15 A socket, and warranty terms that change from one listing to the next.
Does it dry hair fast?
Owners say yes, and this is the most consistent praise across listings: people report noticeably faster drying than their previous dryers and credit the 2000 W AC motor. Nykaa shows 4.3 out of 5 from about 3,200 ratings, and one aggregator puts it at 4.2 from just over 320 reviews across platforms. We found no independent drying-time test, so we cannot say how it compares with other 2000 W models.
Is it too heavy to hold?
Possibly, for long sessions. Reliance Digital lists 1.07 kg net and Croma 1.2 kg, roughly three times the 335 g Havells HD3151. AC motors are heavier than the small DC motors in compact dryers. If you blow-dry and style for long stretches, that weight adds up.
How loud is it?
Noise is the most common complaint we found, with owners describing it as robust and good value but loud. No retailer or reviewer published a decibel figure.
Will it run on a normal socket?
No. 2000 W is about 8.7 A at 230 V. One retailer lists it with a 16 A plug, which tells you it is meant for a 15 A or 16 A socket. If your mirror is near a 5 A point only, choose a lower-wattage dryer.
What is the warranty, really?
Unclear. Several listings say two years for manufacturing defects, and one buyer reports receiving a two-year warranty card. Croma lists 12 months, and Reliance Digital shows 0 months. Some owners also report the comb attachment snapping. Buy from a seller that states the warranty in writing, and keep the card.
What we could not verify
AGARO’s own product page, air temperature, airflow speed and noise level. The listings also give two model numbers (HD-1120 and 33532) for what appears to be the same dryer.
How we researched
We have not used the AGARO HD-1120. This review draws on retailer listings from Reliance Digital, Croma, Nykaa and others, Nykaa's rating summary of about 3,200 ratings, a review-aggregator summary, and owner comments; AGARO's own product page did not turn up.
We have not tested this product ourselves. This review is based on published specifications, the manual, other publications’ tests and owner feedback.
