I am using for a long time the brown curling irons, so far Satin Hair 3. In my opinion (I have some other tested) is the Brown system the best, because the air flows out like a hair dryer between the bristles of the styling brush and not only the brush itself hot (without airflow) as with many other curling irons. This has überzeugr me, so I have used several Satin Hair 3. After some time, goes with me always the overheating protection broken and the brush is extremely hot, so it must be replaced. Life is but okay, the other curling irons did not last longer. This time I have for the primal times the Satin Hair 5 betsellt and do not regret the move. By 1000 watts (instead of 400 as in Satin Hair 3) are my long hair dry much faster. As noted already with other reviewers is the permanent holding the cold air ring not optimal, but also does not bother me much. I do not find the handle too large, also I find the Fönstab not too loud. Therefore, full of my point number and absolute buy recommendation!
