Easy to use and hair doesn't stick
Heats up fast and there's a temperature window that counts up as it heats up. You just press and hold to power on/off the unit. You also know the unit is on when the center of the brush turns red. Two additional buttons on the handle to increase or decrease the temperature. The instructions do indicate the best temperature per hair type and recommend using a heat protectant spray on your hair. So basically same care instructions as a flat iron but this is so much easier to use and doesn't leave your hair fully flat with and with an indent near the scalp of your hair like a flat iron does. Since this is shaped like a brush, I was able to get slightly more body into my hair rather than completely flat which is what happened with a flat iron. Also the bristles are not meant to comb your hair with but they are meant to hold your hair in place like a brush as you run the unit through your hair. You're supposed to brush out and detangle your hair first before using this straightener so don't use it like a hair brush.  I really love this design so much better though. It also came with a heat protectant glove for the other hand that is holding your hair in place as you're running the unit through your hair sections but I found I didn't need it. Also unlike a flat iron, I wasn't pinching or pulling my hair on this nor was I applying any heated weight to it, all good things in my opinion. My only suggestion is that the buttons should be placed elsewhere because having them on the handle, I ended up changing the temperature by accident while maneuvering the device. But that's not enough of an issue for me to be deterred from recommending this device. It's very nice! I'll be using this in the mornings now when I decide to wear my hair down. I have crazy cowlicks on the back of my head and I was able to smooth that out quickly with this device today. Also I wanted to mention this is really easy to store and isn't a huge device either. Since it's like like your traditional flat iron, it doesn't flop open like pair of tongs so storage isn't awkward and would be easy to travel with. Mine also came with a storage pouch as well.
