Choose the Pro-One Aerolite if you want three speed settings, reverse self-cleaning and the widest choice of colours; choose the Pro-One Evonic if two speeds are enough and you want quiet operation in a 295g body. Both are listed at under 300g and use a 110,000 RPM brushless motor, ionic and ceramic technology, a cold shot and the same three attachments, so the decision comes down to controls, cleaning and colour.

What the Aerolite and Evonic have in common
- A 110,000 RPM brushless motor. Both use a high-speed BLDC motor with cyclonic jet-stream airflow for fast drying without relying on excessive heat.
- Ionic and ceramic technology that helps hair look smoother.
- A light build. Both are listed at under 300g, which is easier on the hand and wrist over a long day of blow-drying.
- The same attachments. Each comes with a diffuser for curls and natural texture, plus a regular and a wide concentrator nozzle.
- A cold shot and a 3-metre cord. The instant cold shot helps set the style, and the professional-length cord gives you room to move around the chair.
Where they differ
Speed settings
The Aerolite has three speed settings and three temperature settings. The Evonic has two speeds and three temperatures. The extra speed gives finer control between gentle diffusing and full-power rough drying, which matters most to stylists who blow-dry all day.
Reverse self-clean
The Aerolite has a reverse self-cleaning function for easier maintenance. Self-clean is not listed for the Evonic, so unplug it after use and clean the air inlet regularly, as its care instructions advise.
Colours
The Aerolite comes in eight finishes: Black, Titanium, Rose Gold, Blush, Pink Diamond, Emerald Green, Blue Sapphire and Pearl White. The Evonic comes in Black, Blue, Pink and Gold. Some Aerolite colours also have their own listing, such as the Aerolite in Pearl White.
Weight and noise
The Evonic is listed at 295g and the Aerolite at 299g, a 4g difference that is hard to notice in the hand. The Evonic listing also highlights quiet operation, which suits salons and homes where noise matters.

How to get a smooth blow-dry with either dryer
- Detangle towel-dried hair, then choose the heat and speed for your hair type.
- For a smooth finish, fit a concentrator nozzle and point the airflow down the hair shaft, working section by section with a brush. A vented round brush such as the Pro-One Aerostyle helps shape as you dry.
- For curls, fit the diffuser and use low heat and low speed, starting at the roots.
- Keep the dryer moving, and finish with the cold shot to help set the style.

Looking after your Pro-One dryer
A clean air inlet keeps airflow strong, whichever model you choose. A few simple habits help:
- Aerolite: run the reverse self-clean function as directed in the instructions.
- Evonic: unplug it after use and clean the air inlet regularly, as its care instructions advise.
- Both: let the dryer cool before you put it away, and store the attachments with it so the diffuser and nozzles are ready for the next blow-dry.
In a salon, a light dryer with a long cord is one tool you use on almost every client, so the extra speed setting and self-clean on the Aerolite are worth weighing against the Evonic's quiet operation before you buy.
