I was HP8698 / 00 Multi Styler Set 6-in-1 already fully convinced from the first use of Philips. The first impression is well known, the most important. I have shoulder-length hair. After using my 5 year old machine my hair was always frayed and parched. After repeated use my hair were cracked and splissig. This Philips Multi-Styler, the use is obviously hair friendly and gentle to the hair. The styling is loosely by hand, because the device is very easy and quick to handle. It will get very hot and changing the many styling attachments is also absolutely no problem. Compared to my 5 year old unit, I find this one much better thought-out, easier and designet much better and time pressure-friendly in terms of safety. The automatic switch-off is particularly important and that you get this multi-styler with all its functional essays in the supplied bag, because you want to take this thing indeed times in the holidays. Super Tip.
