I found it too heavy for trap gravel, and took up too much room not only that I don’t know if I got a defective one every time I’m using it it would turn off. I’d have to shake it and it would work or I’d have to unplug it and plug it back in.
I love this tool and have used it quite a bit, but I wish it could replace my fave round brush. I travel internationally to see my family in Brazil and am going on vacation in Portugal which I am excited to bring this, however I now have a bob, and a smaller round brush is absolutely needed. The round brush I alao have from t3 is my fave, but it is not dual voltage and I can't take it with me in my travels. Please please help for us with shorter hair!
I purchased this for trips to Europe because I can’t bring my Dyson AirWrap. The T3 is better than your standard blow dryer, but has nothing on my Dyson. I’d recommend this as a travel item, but not for everyday.
Amazing results!! Warning: it does get really hot!

In love with this styler! The fact that this has ceramic plates (makes your curls last way longer), it’s also dual voltage, you really can’t beat that. It’s definitely worth the price but I will say it does get really hot, so I have to use the cool shot to cool it down. But other than that, I highly recommend :)
I have the original T3 aire 360 and got this to travel with. The attachments on the new Aire barely fit the dryer and the curling attachments do not work as good as the old ones!! Idk if i received a defective product, but I am shocked at what a difference there is between the two products!!
I’ve owned both this and the shark flexstyle. I’ve got straight, thick, waist-length East Asian hair and have primarily used these for the blow dry and curling functions. Here are my impressions of the NextGen Aire: Pros: - Long barrels! Gets most (not all) of my hair - Air curler is significantly better at grabbing my hair better than the shark (my hair needs to be like 95% dry though) — with the shark I have to manually wrap my hair around the wand - She’s cute! - Storage bag is super handy - Comes in nice packaging so would make an exciting gift - Sound is less aggressive than shark (though I still wear earplugs — I saw someone do a decibel test and this is in a range that damages hearing) Cons: - The top of the device (where it meets the attachments) gets really hot! You have to avoid touching/holding near there, especially any metal bits. This feels like a design flaw - Once grabbed, ends of hair don’t want to stay as grabbed as on the shark (the curler is more slippery and struggles to hold tension) - Curls don’t last as long on me as the shark (becomes loose waves within several hours, then just a ripple the next day. I usually still have a loose waive on the second day with the shark) - “cool-shot” is actually a warm shot lol (the one on the shark is also not cool but maybe was a little less warm)
I find the T3 overall more pleasant to use than the shark, though I like the results of the shark a bit better. Because I got the T3 at a much steeper discount, I decided to keep it and return the shark. The blow dryer is definitely stronger and more comfortable to use on the shark though, and I didn’t have an issue with it getting hot.
Overall, I think it is a good airstyler to get on sale if you’re looking for a well-rounded blowout device — I use mine multiple times a week. If you’re primarily looking for a blow dryer or something that will give you a lasting curl, I would look elsewhere. I don’t think it’s any faster than a regular curling device, because hair has to be almost dry for it to grab and it can only grab smallish sections at once.
