Great styling, poor quality

It's hard to give this a rating. Styling wise, this is the best hot air brush I have used. It dries my hair fast and my hair has great body. Also, I my hair doesn't get damaged the way it did when I used a standard blow dryer and brush. However, as others have noted, it doesn't last but a few months! I have gone through 4 in the last year and a half. They only last 4-6 months. Now, I have short hair and it only takes at most 10 minutes to do so it isn't like I'm using for 1/2 hour+ a day. It starts by shutting off after a few minutes then just stops turning on altogether. But, it does a fantastic job styling...
Styling, not drying

For those who complain that it takes forever for them to dry their hair with this product, I don't think hot air brushes are for going from wet to dry. I've been using them for years, and I blow my hair semi-dry quickly with my regular dryer, and then finish styling with this brush. It works fabulously well, and is so much easier than a curling iron for getting a nice, soft style.
Not hot enough to do the job

Takes too long to dry my fine, curly hair. Like most hot air brushes, it's just not hot enough to do the job adequately. I'm still looking for one that's right for me.
Excellent Product

I love the Helen of Troy Hot Air Brushes. I have 2 of them (different sizes). My hair never gets tangled and they dry my hair a lot quicker than using a hair dryer and brush.

I have used the 3/4" and 1" models for years and like them both very much for drying and styling at the same time. The 3/4" model is hard to find in the area stores so I was delighted to find it online at Folica.com. I believe it is the best product of its kind - it handles two styling jobs at one time.
This is a Toy Dryer!

Hot Air Brush Return

This product seemed to be of excellent quality. I plugged it in and it heated very quickly.
I returned it because it was not the syle I was looking for and I decided it wouldn't work well for my purposes.
Folica notified me when they received the return and refunded my purchase price quickly. Nice company to do business with.
Love the way this handles...

This Hot Air Brush feels great in the hand. It is easy to use and adds luster and fullness to my hair. I wish I had discovered this years ago. Had hoped it would be dual voltage, but it wasn't. Thus, 4 stars instead of 5. I wound up buying a hot air brush in Italy, and I'll keep that one for future European travel.
Great buy

I've been looking for a long time for this kind of dryer and finally went on line to find just the right one. The Helen of Troy tangle-free hot air brush has given my fine hair so much more fullness! I've been using hot air brushes for the last 15 years. This one is by far the best hot air brush I've ever owned. I'll know just where to go to get a new one if it ever wears out!
Best Product for Thick Hair

I worked at the front desk of a hair salon and kept seeing this product fly off the shelf. Finally I decided to try it myself, and it was fantastic! I had never gotten the hang of using a round brush and hair dryer at the same time, and this fixed my problem. When I finally had to replace it, I tried another brush with flexible bristles and it was awful. It wouldn't hold my thick hair. I returned it immediately and went back to my trusty friend. I'll never make that mistake again!

I have been using this curling iron for a long time, and finally replaced it after many years of use. I even take it along when I travel. My hair is long and very fine so I don't need to spend time using a blow dryer. I love this productso much that I purchased one for my friend. It works well for touch ups too.
A Very Good Product

I travel several times a month in my job as a flight attendant. The Air Brush works well using a converter when I happen to be in Europe. One caution however, be careful not to cover the air intake grill at the base of the handle with your hand while in use as this may cause the thermal protection to stop the motor and heating element. Another tip, keep the intake clear of lint. I use the vacuum cleaner hose once every couple of months to remove any lint build up. This is a unique product and has served me well.
I love this product!

I love this product! I had another one of these for years (10+) and it was still working, but did not come apart to clean so cleaning was a pain. This new one is so easy to clean. I too, have short fine hair and this hot air brush works great and makes my hair look thicker. I'll buy another one in the future.

I was elated to find this curling iron on the internet. I had one for nine years and when it stopped working, I didn't think I would be able to find another. I first purchased a similar model nine years ago at my hairstylist and have since moved away. It's been my favorite hair styling tool for years. Its easy to use, I wait for my hair to be almost dry (or quick dry it with a blower) and use the curling iron to style curls into my hair. Its fast and easy. Thanks, Folica, for making my search for its replacement quick, easy and with no hassles. This new iron/dryer is just like my old faithful and I hope to get a number of years of service from it as well.

This is the worst hot air curling brush i've ever had. If you turn it off..you have to wait for it to cool down to start it up again. It tangled my hair so bad i almost had to cut it out plus it has actually burned my hair off in spots.
