So that's by far the best toy I've own. I tried 3 different wands, including the OG wand and this one is my favorite. The fact that it has multiple strength and speed is already great, coupled with the fact that it has a cord so no need to worry about it dying while you're at it. Also like the fact that it has buttons instead of a wheel so you don't just accidentally change your setting or worse, break the wheel ! I've been using mine for about 2 1/2 years before it died from what I presumably thought was overuse. After multiple tries and realising that it was in fact dead, I did a quick autopsy and realised the motor inside the head was SUPER rusty !!! So one thing I'd recommend is to limit contact with water as much as possible. I never submerge mine but I guess that washing it eventually cause water damage inside... I'm gonna buy another one for sure !
