I got it today!!! Here's my
:
I really like it!!! :woohoo2: At first I was nervous bc the box was kinda small and looked a little worn inside the brown cardboard box they shipped it in...I also kind freaking out bc at first I couldn't find the hood, but as it turns out, you have to piece it together...
PROS:
- It is small and light, and comes apart, so storage is easy
- It wasn't too bad to put together, but I was kinda tripping that I had to put it together at all (con)
- It fits on the counter and has nice rubber grips so the baby doesn't move (see pics, click for larger)
- Heats well (not too hot, but plenty of steam) and steam flows up and out of hood, so no steam down all around in your face
- Comes with a little facial steamer attachment that you can use for facial steaming as well instead of the hood (pleasant surprise) (see pics)
- Even with the cheaper materials, it worked well...made for a nice lightweight product
- Hood detaches easily, so I could wash out the conditioner residue that was at the top and on the sides. I just rinsed mine right in the tub (see pics)
- Has enough steam from the MAX line for about a 25 minute steam. Steam came pretty quickly as easily
- There is an ion switch you can flip on/off independently of the power for ionic steam
CONS:
- I had to put it together, and the directions were in that broken english (there was an asian woman on the box...you make you own assumptions...)
- I was expecting something a little more solid, but the hood was made up of these little flexible clear blue plastic pieces that you snapped together, once snapped together though it was OK. If you drop the hood, though, you'll prolly be snapping them things back together and fixin the hood
- There is no height adjustment, so you have to get old school and pull out the telephone books (or a shorter stool) if you're taller like me
- Since the steam flowed up and out, the nape of my neck didn't really get any steam, I had to keep tilting my head at odd angles to try and get the steam there.
I did my protein DC and my hair came out
SO soft but felt STRONG, not on the hard side like usual when I do protein treatments. I didn't do the stuff to it today that usually makes my hair on the silky side, so I'll have to test that later. Also I had no alarms going off, but I only used it once.
All in all, FM gives it
