Product review (4 stars): Works well enough
Even on high this does not get as hot as a blow dryer but the convenience of having the air from within the brush and the nice texture / finish this leaves makes it worthwhile. It still takes a reasonable time to get through my thicker hair but I enjoy it and have had no issues with spinner getting caught or pulling on hair. Decent product, though there are supposedly better ones out there. If you already know you want/like/need this type of styling tool, probably better to get a nicer (more expensive) one as I will likely do in the future if something happens to go wrong with this one (though I've only had it for a month so far). I did purchase the one with both barrel sizes and with shoulder length hair I've only been using the smaller 1.5" one since it feels like the 2" one is too large, especially with the lower heat. Also, the brush 'cover' is actually just made of the packaging plastic so that was disappointing as well. Overall, it does do something good in terms of taming hair and is kind of fun and interesting to use but not significantly faster than simply blow drying with a nice brush.
