A few weeks ago, I asked my wife if she wanted this item and, after some hesitation, she said yes.
We both work from home and yesterday afternoon, she came into my home office and I observed and mentioned that her hair looked good. She said that she really likes this straightener device because sometimes she doesn’t have time to “do” her hair, but she can quickly use this thing to tame her hair before a video call or whatever and it does a great job (or words to that effect).
She seems to have felt similarly about another refurbished Dyson hair-dryer product, so either Dyson’s got a strong reality distortion field or they’re actually helpful products, albeit high priced. Based on her reaction (and her recommending the dryer to friends and family), my hunch is the latter. (And I’m grateful that it’s possible to occasionally score them cheaper via sites like woot.)
