Hairdryer recommendation?

I haven't replaced my cheap old hairdryer for years, and from what I see in the hairdresser and online I think it's very outdated and not doing my hair any favours. I have fine, straight hair prone to static. It's just in a long-ish bob, so it's just a case of blasting it dry then straighteners.
Mine is a big old chunky dryer and i notice that the new ones seem to be almost tube shaped?
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

@NameChange30 wondering how you got on with the one you chose?

Sorry I forgot to report back! It's good quality I think, dries my (thick) hair reasonably quickly and a nice finish. I was hoping for quiet and it's not! I would like something quieter but not willing to spend a fortune, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Parlux! Recommended to me by a hairdresser. I brought one for each of my daughters as they kept nicking mine! Paid about 100 quid - great for my shoulder length bob - no straightening needed and hair looks healthy and shiny.

I'm an idiot. I went half way and bought a Babyliss which made every promise on earth but is ludicrously loud, and no better than my current Babyliss.

I'm ready to spend proper money but it's so confusing! Even Parlux has about eight different models all of which appear to claim to be better than each other. I would pay anything within reason for real, swishy results but it feels like gambling because you don't know until you've opened all the packaging and made it non returnable.
