It's not a bad tool.
Ok- this isn't a bad item to have. There are a few things that I think can be improved, and things someone like me that have thick hair has to do in order to get best results with this brush. First, I had to brush my hair first before even to begin running this brush through my hair. So, I can say if you have easily tangled hair, brush it first because it did pull some hair, and I removed loose strands of hair out of it so it won't burn and leave residue marks. I figured it would cause this brush not to work properly.  The buttons on the brush are in a difficult spot, especially for me - I am a lefty and had to turn the brush in different angles to achieve some parts of my hair, but I accidentally pushed the '+' button numerous times, which made the heat go up. The buttons are on the side of the brush so it was hard for me to handle this brush without pushing one of them by accident. I couldn't find any locking system for that. Overall, this brush did straighten my hair, but not totally thin pin straight. I think this would cut your time off of using a flat iron, but for me I have to use a flat iron to fulfill the removal of excessive volume my hair has. Basically, I would state - don't get rid of your flat iron... you may still need it while using this.
