Wirecutter's favorite of 16 blow-dry brushes: it dries and smooths in one pass, fast. But it is new and costs about three times a Revlon, and Amazon owners report units quitting within weeks.
Top complaints
- Stops working or breaks early
Amazon's review summary says durability is a concern, with reports of it breaking after a month of use and stopping unexpectedly.
- Not fully sleek on thick curls
Wirecutter says people with thick curly or coily hair will still need a flat iron for silky results.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT) - Pricey, with a learning curve
Wirecutter notes it costs about $180, roughly triple some other brushes. Amazon owners are split on value, and some report a learning curve.
What owners love
- Fast wet-to-dry
Wirecutter testers went from showered to ready in under 10 minutes (chin-length hair) and in 6 minutes (long hair). Amazon owners say about 10 minutes.
- Smooth, shiny, no snagging
Wirecutter found the mixed bristles gave ideal tension without snagging ends, with no burning-hair smell. Amazon owners praise smoothness, shine and frizz reduction.
- Dry-hair styling mode
Wirecutter testers loved the separate dry mode for refreshing days-old blowouts.

What experts say
- Wirecutter (NYT): Best blow-dry brush of 16 tested: it dries and smooths together and is very maneuverable. The flaws are that thick curls still need a flat iron and the price; 2-year warranty.
