| Thinking about buying the Revlon one step dryer based on all the rave reviews on a previous thread, but what I don't quite get is how this particular product is better than all the other similar items available. Is it just that a round hot air brush gives great results for straightening your hair, or is the Revlon item in particular really that great? |

| You can use it on wet hair. |

You can use the others on wet hair as well. |

| It probably isn't better, it's just newer. I would just get a really good hair dryer - I have a Conair Blackbird and it is honestly the best hair dryer I have ever had. I use the comb attachment and it gets my very curly hair very straight. |

| The better question is - how are any hot air brushes better than a regular drier and brush?! I think the people that love it have never experienced a powerful drier (sedu is the best) and brush that really grabs the hair to create a smooth blow dry (ys park round brush). |

Because for those of us who aren't super coordinated, it's just one thing to manage. I've never been able to manage bulky blow dryer and a round brush well. Now I just can use two hands to manage the brush. |

OP here. This is me as well. I've never been able to manage the hair dryer and round brush. |

I find it faster than any dryer I have used, and I have used some really nice hairdryers (currently have a Super Solano). And, yes, it's easier than using a brush and hairdryer. I wish I'd had this for the past 20 years. Plus, I don't have to worry about leaving it on (sort of impossible) like I do with my Babyliss flat iron.
For the record, it doesn't give me volume so I think the volumizer is a bit of a misnomer. My hair is fine, curly and around shoulder length. |

| I agree about it not giving volume. It is a brilliant straightener for frizzy hair. |

I have had a few of the cheaper, smaller ones. They work pretty well. Like this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Revlon-Perfect-1inch-2inch-Brush/dp/B000PXYAL2/ref=zg_bs_11058221_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZJHEN2CMPAR15CE7KQ97 But I bought the one the OP recommended b/c my hair has grown a bit and the one above was on its last legs anyway, and wasn't doing so great since my hair is longer. I really am loving it. I have half wavy/half super curly, always amazingly frizzy hair and it looks so much better. I don't know if it is the oval shape or the type of bristles? It could also be the air flow - much more air flow than the one I listed above. |

Are you talking specifically about this one?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LSUQSB0/ref=sr_ph_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1491574707&sr=sr-1&keywords=revlon+volumizer Because if so, I recently purchased it based on that thread about it on here, and it's literally AMAZING. I have super thin, fine, limp hair. My hair has never looked this full of body before...I think ever actually. And, it lasts all day long. I don't know what kind of magic or voodoo they put on this thing, but my hair has never looked this good! |

That sounds great -- how long is your hair? |

| Np here. I bought one too and was skeptical. I love it. Makes my shoulder length medium thick hair look awesome. I actually like my hair again. Hate to say it but the fans here are right. I've tried other drying brushes and a heinous straightening brush. I still like my flat iron too but the revlon thing is kind of a miracle |
