Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer is available at Mascom International for KSh 1,800, brand new and sealed, in a compact white body with a classic rear fan grille. It comes from Poree, a personal-care brand linked to China's Flyco group, and the UK at the end of the model code marks the UK-plug version. The Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer has a side switch on the handle, an attached cord with a UK 3-pin plug, and a cord tie for tidy storage. You can see it and switch it on at our shop in Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Designed for everyday drying at home, the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer suits students in hostels, young professionals with early starts, and families sharing one dryer. Wet hair can take hours to air-dry, especially on humid mornings in Mombasa or Kisumu, and damp braids or locs can start to smell musty. A small classic dryer gives you a quick way to dry roots, edges and a freshly washed wig before you leave the house. The plug goes straight into a standard Kenyan wall socket, so there is no adapter to lose, wobble or overheat.
Where many street stalls sell unbranded dryers with no receipt and no return path, Mascom International sells the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer sealed, with a written 6-month warranty and a walk-in service desk. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want a simple, affordable dryer they can trust for daily use, not a salon machine full of features they will never touch. At KSh 1,800, the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer costs KSh 1,200 less than the high-speed Poree PH1650UK.

Common Questions About the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer
How much is the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer in Kenya?
The Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer costs KSh 1,800 brand new and sealed at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD. That price covers the dryer itself, our 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery, so you pay only after you see the box. The high-speed Poree PH1650UK costs KSh 3,000, a gap of KSh 1,200, which makes this model the easier choice if you simply want dry hair on a tight budget. You can pay by M-Pesa or cash.
Is the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer genuine, and who makes it?
Yes, the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer at Mascom International is genuine Poree stock, delivered brand new and factory sealed. Poree makes hair dryers, electric shavers and sonic toothbrushes, and this is one of its classic-shape dryers. Because we stand behind the stock, it carries our own 6-month warranty rather than a promise from an unknown seller. You can open the box in front of us on Kimathi Street, check the model code printed on the dryer, and test it before paying.
Should I buy the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer or the Poree PH1650UK?
The Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer is a classic dryer with a rear fan grille, while the Poree PH1650UK is a high-speed design at KSh 3,000. On a classic dryer, air enters through a round grille at the back of the body. On the high-speed layout, a compact motor sits in the handle, air is drawn in at the base of the handle, and the head is round. Pick the PH1622UK for simple daily drying on a budget, or the PH1650UK if you want the high-speed design.
Can I plug the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer straight into a Kenyan socket during KPLC power swings?
Yes, the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer has a UK 3-pin plug that fits standard Kenyan wall sockets directly, with no adapter needed. Because KPLC supply can dip or surge, unplug the dryer during outages and wait for steady power before using it again. For extra protection, the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector, KSh 1,200 at Mascom International, can sit between the socket and the dryer. Use a wall socket rather than a crowded extension shared with an iron or kettle.
Is the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer good for natural hair, braids and wigs?
The Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer handles everyday drying of natural hair, braids, locs and wigs when you use it with care. Hold it about a hand's width from the hair, keep it moving, and dry the scalp and roots first so braids and locs do not stay damp inside. Before drying a synthetic wig or weave, read its care label, since some fibres do not tolerate heat. The box holds no comb or concentrator attachment, so stretched blow-outs are better done with salon tools.
Is the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer suitable for a university hostel?
Yes, the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer is a sensible pick for students in hostels at Kenyatta, JKUAT, Moi or the University of Nairobi. Its compact body fits in a locker or drawer, and the cord tie keeps the attached cable neat in a shared room. Check your hostel's rules on personal appliances first, since some halls restrict them. Never leave it running on a bed or mattress, where bedding can block the rear grille, and keep it away from shared sinks and wet floors.
How do I look after the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer so it lasts?
Keep the rear fan grille of the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer free of lint and hair, because a blocked grille makes the motor work harder and run hotter. Unplug it and brush the grille with a dry cloth or soft toothbrush every week or two. Let it cool before tying the cord, and wrap the cable loosely rather than tightly around the handle. Store it away from bathroom steam, and stop using it and bring it to our service desk if it smells of burning.
Who should buy the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer, and who should skip it?
Buy the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer if you want a simple, low-cost dryer for daily home use, a hostel room or a travel bag. It suits first-time buyers and anyone replacing a tired old dryer without spending much. Skip it if you run a salon or dry several heads a day, since you will want a dryer with confirmed heat settings and attachments. Home stylists who prefer a high-speed design should look at the Poree PH1650UK or the Amaya AHD-300 HyperDry instead.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Design
- Classic dryer shape — a pistol-style body with the handle below the head, the layout most Kenyan households already know.
- Round rear fan grille — air is drawn in through the back, so the grille must stay clear of hair, lint and fabric.
- Compact body — takes little room on a dressing table, in a hostel locker or inside a weekend bag for upcountry trips.
- White finish — a clean, neutral colour that suits a bathroom shelf or dressing table and shows clearly when it needs wiping.
- Brand new and factory sealed — you are the first person to use it, with no wear on the motor, switch or cord.
Controls and Handling
- Side switch on the handle — you turn the dryer on and off with your thumb without changing your grip.
- One-hand operation — your other hand stays free to section hair with a comb or fingers while you dry.
- Handle below the head — the familiar grip lets you angle the airflow at roots, edges and the back of the neck.
- Corded design — it runs from mains power, so there is no battery to charge or wear out over the years.
- Simple layout — fewer parts means less to go wrong and nothing new to learn for first-time dryer owners.
Compatibility with Kenyan Power and Sockets
- UK 3-pin plug — the UK in PH1622UK marks the plug version, which fits standard Kenyan wall sockets directly.
- No travel adapter needed — removing the adapter removes a common source of loose contact, sparking and plug heat.
- Attached power cord — the cable is fixed to the dryer, so there is no detachable lead to misplace or swap by mistake.
- Outage habit — unplug the dryer during KPLC power cuts and wait for steady supply before switching it back on.
- Surge protection option — the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector, KSh 1,200, can sit between the wall socket and the dryer.
Build, Care and Safety
- Grille cleaning — brushing lint off the rear grille every week or two keeps air moving and helps the dryer run cooler.
- Cool before storing — give the body a few minutes to cool before gathering the cord and putting it away.
- Keep it dry — store it away from bathroom steam and never use it beside a filled sink, basin or bathtub.
- Gentle cord storage — wrap the cable loosely, because tight wrapping at the handle strains the cord where it enters the body.
- Hard surfaces only — rest it on a table or shelf, never on a bed or cushion that can block the grille.
Inclusions and Support
- The dryer only — the box holds the dryer itself, with its attached cord, plug and cord tie, and no extra attachments.
- Cord tie on the cable — keeps the cord gathered neatly for drawer storage and for packing in a travel bag.
- Factory seal — open it in our shop or on delivery and check the PH1622UK code on the dryer before you pay.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty — covers manufacturing defects under normal use, with claims handled at our Nairobi CBD desk.
- Photos on request — send a WhatsApp message and we will share current pictures of the unit in stock before you order.
Package Contents
The Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer box contains the dryer itself, with its attached power cord, UK 3-pin plug and cord tie already in place. There are no nozzles, diffusers or combs inside, so you can plug it in and start drying the moment it is out of the seal. If you want surge protection at home, the Amaya APS-10 Socket Protector is sold separately at Mascom International for KSh 1,200. Every unit arrives brand new and factory sealed.
Warranty
Mascom International backs the Poree PH1622UK Hair Dryer with a 6-month warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use. If the motor, switch or cord fails within that period because of a factory fault, bring the dryer to our Nairobi CBD service desk, where all claims are handled.
