Rowenta CF9540 review

A rotating hot air brush with two ceramic barrels at 50 and 40 mm (1.57 in), rotation in both directions, three combined speed and temperature settings, and a repairability commitment Rowenta states at fifteen years.

Where it leaves us The one styling tool here sold on being repairable. Combined settings are the trade.

A thousand watts, two ceramic barrels at 50 and 40 mm (1.57 in), and rotation in both directions — the detail that lets you style both sides of a head the same way.

Three settings combine speed and temperature. That is a step down from dryers such as the Remington D3198, where the two are separate, and it is the honest trade-off at this price on a rotating brush.

Rowenta states a cashmere keratin and argan oil coating, and publishes something no other product in this group does: a fifteen-year repairability commitment served from 6,500 repair centers. It is an undertaking rather than a measurement, and it is reported here as the company words it.

On a shelf of ten, two things here have no counterpart. Rotation in both directions is stated by this brush alone — the Remington rotates without saying which way, and the eight others say nothing about rotation at all. And the fifteen-year repairability commitment is the only after-sales undertaking published anywhere on this shelf. Against that, three settings that combine speed and temperature is less control than two separate axes would give, and no price appears here: six of the ten brushes publish one, from $27 to $140, and all six are American references. The Remington AS8811, BaByliss AS122E and Revlon RVDR5222 are the other European brushes on the hot air brushes shelf, and getting volume at the roots says where to start with the 50 mm barrel.

The good points, and the rest

Strengths

  • Rotation in both directions, which matters because the two sides of a head are styled in opposite directions
  • A published fifteen-year repairability commitment is the only one of its kind on this shelf
  • Two ceramic barrels at 50 and 40 mm (1.57 in), so both volume and shape are covered
  • Three settings that combine speed and temperature, stated plainly on the listing

Compromises

  • Speed and temperature are combined on one control, not separate as on the Remington D3198 and AC9140B dryers

What people ask about this

Why does two-directional rotation matter?

Because the left and right sides of a head are worked in opposite directions. A brush that turns one way only asks you to change your grip halfway, or to accept a different result on one side. Rowenta states both directions here.

What is a repairability commitment worth?

Rowenta publishes fifteen years and 6,500 repair centers. It is a manufacturer undertaking rather than a specification, and this page reports it as such. No other hot air brush on this shelf publishes a comparable undertaking.
