The best thing about this are the heat settings. They're absolutely perfect, even the lowest heat setting gets the job done and the highest isn't going to fry your hair. You can get smooth straight hair with the straightening brush. I also liked the volumizing brush just to brush through the hair while drying it. It took about 10 minutes to dry and style my hair once I got around to handling it better. I found it really does well at not giving frizz. My only issues were that when increasing the airflow, the wand gives a high pitch whistle that gets uncomfortable when near your ears, but I lowered it when working around my ears. Also, the wand is somewhat heavy and has a thick barrel and my hand is small which took a while to get used to, you just end up holding it higher towards the attachment to balance it better.
