Fell for a $200 "professional" hair steamer that broke in 3 weeks

Bought this fancy steamer from an Instagram ad thinking it would level up my deep conditioning treatments and the heating element just died on the third use. Anyone else had bad luck with those compact tabletop steamers from random brands?

$200 for three weeks of hot air. Bought one of those sleek looking units myself last year, steamed my hair maybe four times before it started spitting cold water. Must be something about the way they pack those tiny heating elements, they just cook themselves right out.

I mean, it's not really the 'packing' of the heating elements that's the problem with those things. The issue is more that they use cheap, tiny heating elements that just can't handle running for more than a few minutes without burning out. Idk, maybe these brands just assume nobody will use them more than once.
