Newer isn't always better.
I have an older version of this and wanted to replace it. I purchased this brush comb straightener based a lot on the raving reviews. However, after getting it and trying it several times, I'm convinced I must have gotten a one off bad one or something.<br /><br />The iron heated up fairly quickly but I was trying to get it to the hottest level and the light just kept blinking. Once the light stopped blinking as per instructions it should have been at its hottest. However within seconds it was blinking again and the iron would not stay at the set temperature.<br /><br />The other issue I had was it was automatically turning off LONG BEFORE the built in safety setting on it. It seemed it was turning off within seconds of setting it down so that I could part my hair and do another section. I kept having to reset and wait again for the iron to heat up. At first I thought my palm must be touching and pressing the buttons but when I made a conscious effort to avoid the buttons I was still getting the same issues.<br /><br />I'm very disappointed I have to go back to my beat up brush comb straightener which got much hotter, stayed hot until I turned it off and produced much better results on my hair. Sometimes, newer isn't always better. Have to return it. Return is pretty easy though!
