It asks premium-iron money for a motorized wand whose rotation mechanism adds the same tangle and failure modes as the CHI, wrapped in a brand whose reputation rests more on creator marketing than on long-term reliability reporting. No current expert roundup puts it on their best lists.

Good Housekeeping names it Best Overall, but no other major outlet in the current evidence backs it, and the rotating-curler specialists give their Editor's Choice to the CHI Spin N Curl instead. You pay the influencer-brand premium for a rotating mechanism the CHI delivers as well.
