In contrast, a five-star review reads: "I bought this when my last hot brush died. It works well on my fine hair. I use the low drier setting and it is enough for me. What I really like is the smoothing part. It saves me using straighteners - I've used only this since buying it to do my full hair treatment and it leaves my hair shiny. It is heavier than my last brush, but I got used to it very quickly."

Shoppers praise Amazon's 'easy to use' Breville Iced Coffee Maker for 'delicious' drinks

Iced coffees are a treat for those who love a brew, but they don't come cheap at cafés. As the summer season hits full swing, it's hardly surprising that many are ditching their steaming cups of barista-crafted coffee for chilled iced versions. They might come at a premium, but Amazon customers reckon they've stumbled upon the perfect device to craft them in the comfort of your own kitchen. The Breville Iced Coffee Maker is described as a "single-serve coffee machine that quickly cools concentrated, hot-brewed coffee over ice to deliver tasty iced coffee that's never watered down". This clever piece of kit is priced at £33 and has amassed over 2,000 reviews on the platform, boasting an impressive average score of 4.3 out of 5 stars. A satisfied customer commented: "Bought this just in time for the warm spring purchase this year. It's a simple machine, and the simplicity of it makes it easy to clean. It is quick and easy to use, and good value for money." They added: "With the availability of high street coffee shop brands in supermarkets, it is easier to replicate my favourite iced coffees at home." For those looking for alternatives, Argos offers its Instant Cold Brew Coffee Ice Tea Maker, currently discounted from £80 to £55, enabling true cold brews in just 20 minutes. Meanwhile, on Amazon, the £18 Beowanzk Iced Coffee Maker also garners praise, with one reviewer calling it 'excellent for making cold brew coffee, reports the Mirror. The Breville Iced Coffee Maker has garnered acclaim from users who say it makes "easy peasy iced coffee". It has been reviewed on the site over 2,000 times with an average rating of 4.3 stars out of a possible five. Another reviewer shared: "Bought this as a present for my daughter and she loves it. She says that it's also easy to clean." Another user enthused: "I love it. Easy to use, makes a delicious iced coffee. "It's fairly quiet and is done in a matter of a few minutes. I would recommend it." However, one customer noted the need for ample ice. They remarked: "It's pretty good for the money and far more convenient than cold brewing for 24 hours in the fridge. "Although you're really going to need an ice maker to go with it unless you've got space in the freezer for 10 punnets for each serving." Nonetheless, other buyers were content with their acquisition, as one stated: "For the price, and generally this coffee machine is amazing! So simple, yet effective." One reviewer praised its versatility: "A very clever idea - doing hot and cold versions of coffee. It's simple, lightweight, easy to clean, and I've owned it for at least two, maybe three years, and it's still working away." They continued: "No signs of wear or tear at all, but then I can't see anything too technical on it that could go wrong? If it does, I'd just buy another one - excellent value for money."
