Is there a better blow out tool?

And don’t tell me the revlon one step, because that made my hair feel like garbage. I, like others that have recently purchased, am trying to get used to it and use out of it to justify the cost I have spent before the return window expires. I honestly wish there was a cheaper version without the barrels since others have said the curls do not hold. so my question is, is there a better blowout tool out there? My hair is color treated, wavy, it just overall always looks damaged unless I curl or straighten it after blow drying. I thought this would be the perfect tool, but it is hard to justify the cost.
