Broken after one year

I loved my Chi for the first year and probably still would if the thing would even turn on! The switch completely broke off and there is no way of replacing it. Since the warranty is only for a year I had to buy a new one, and decided to go with a different brand this time.
Great product, but doesn't last....

I bought my Chi almost two years ago, and for the most part, I have absolutely loved it! But, about 6 months ago, it started turning itself on and off randomly and took twice as long to straighten. So, a couple of days ago, it finally gave out and stopped turning on. Seems to be a re-occuring problem from what I've read...
It is amazing and will make your hair look so straight and sily smooth, but it doesn’t last forever.

okay so i used to use those 20 dollar hair straighteners, but then one time i went over to my friend eriks house [some of you may know him as "ERIK WHO STRAIGHTENS HIS HAIR" from myspace] but ive known him like my entire life/ his entire life haha anywayss so obviously he straightens his hair cuz hes like scene..haha buuut anyways so i was at his house and then he straightened my hair using the CHI and once he did it was amazinging soft, it felt thinner(i have really thick hair), and it was shinier..so then when the chord didnt work very well but it still worked well enough to use he gave it to me and just bought a new one...but anyways so he gave it to me but about 4 month later the chord completely stopped working [when it first stopped working it was just that you would have to hold the chord in place to keep it hot] but yeah so it was AMAZING for the time it lasted and i think he had it for about a year before he gave it to me so yeah it lasted a while but now i think im gonna try the solia cuz it seems like the CHI but a little bit more durable.
no time at all

Just wanted to say that this product is awesome for me b/c I don't have a lot of time on my hands to fix my hair for an hour especially, since I have 2 young children. It is a breeze for me to flat iron my hair and, then I'm good to go.
laffy taffy yeaaauhhh

ok i first i love thisss! its straitens my hair and soften it at the same time and i know you think that becuz it gets so hot it might damage it...no not at all. the only problem is there is no heat adjust thingy..meaning there is no dail so you kant control ur tempature. but other than that buy this freaken thing already ur'll love this bad boy

I bought this straightener and it lasted a little less than a year...It works excelent but for a 100$ straightener to stop working is un call'd for...
After awile the Cord begins to loosen and you have to hold it perfect to remain on..I had to tape the cord in place...and I jus ordered a SEDU and i herd veery good reviews and i herd it was a better made for someone who uses there straightener every day...

I used many, many cheap flat irons. So I decided to use my friends CHI since I have heard so much how great it is. I used it once and fell in love. I would never go back to the cheap flat irons, Totally worth the money and great company. Fast Shipping!

I loved my first Chi, which I bought 2 years ago. I had crazy curly hair, and it helped me cope with my hair and make it straight. But then one day about 3 months later, my Chi stopped working. It never turned on again. It didnt have a reset button either.
I took it back to the salon and they refunded me part of the price and I bought another, which had a reset button. I've had that one for EXACTLY one year now, and it has broken too.
It turns off when I am in the middle of using it, and sometimes it won't turn on at all. I have tried pushing the reset button and waiting, unplugging and replugging..all that I can think of. Sometimes it will fix it, and turn back on temporarily(and then turn off again), but sometimes it won't.
I love the effectiveness of the Chi, but it is terribly unreliable. I'm never buying one again.
Broken Cord

I've had two of these in the past 3 years, both of them had the cords break. If yours only heats up when you hold it just right it is because the wires in the cord have broken apart. When it works this iron does a nice job, but it's too expensive to break so easily.

i got the chi about 8 months ago. i have think, very wavy, long hair. this chi i find is not big enough for my type of hair. it heats up quickly. but i find an hour after striatening my hair my ends flip and my hair curls up a bit. At the begining the chi heated up fast and now its a bit slower but i dont mind that. but for someone with my type of hair, i would NOT reccomend the chi but rather a bigger iron, such as the Hai 2, which i am considering to purchase soon

I love my new chi hair straightener. I have gone through about three cheaper ones in the past few years that have just fallen apart and I can tell that the Chi will last me a long time. It heats up fast and it only takes me 5 minutes to do my hair instead of 15 with my last straightener. Thank You FOLICA!!! Great product...great price!
So torn... CHI works wonderfully, but they don't last

For the past 4 years, I have been a faithful CHI user. I live in Tampa, where the temperature and the humidity usually match (95 degrees, 95%). I have THICK, curly hair and no flat iron has ever straightened my hair like the CHI. Even in this sauna of a city, my hair stays straight and shiny, something no non-ceramic flat iron has ever been able to do. So, why am I only given it 3 stars if it so wonderful? Because they simply don't seem built to last. Yesterday, my second CHI's electrical cord became loose, and now it won't stay on. It comes on, but as soon as the cord is moved, it turns off, then turns back on. I almost cried! My first CHI died when the plates became loose. Now I treat my flat irons well. I don't drop them and I don't pull on the cord (lord knows the cord is long enough), so I don't know why a $100 flat iron would die in 2 years. For that reason, I won't buy a third unless I absolutely positively cannot find another one that works as good. The search is on! If you buy one, it will work--your hair will be straight, shiny, and beautiful. Just know that the CHI does not seem built to last and that in a couple of years, you will buy another one.
Got a replacement

My chi burnt out after about 6 months. I called Folica and there was some confusion at first on who would honor the warrenty. But Folica told me to send it back w/about $10 and in a little more than 2 weeks, I got my new chi. I've missed it so. Good product and good company. Thanks.

I ordered the Chi ceramic flat iron because when I went to have my hair highlighted and styled, I told my hairdresser I wanted it straightened. She used her CHI flat iron, and I have never had anyone straighten my hair so quickly and have it be so smooth and silky. I was so impressed, I asked her what she was using, and once she told me, I went home and researched the web trying to find the cheapest price. And as an added bonus I got the heat proof pouch. I love my CHI flat iron. Its great.

I have had my Chi for almost three years and all of a sudden it doesnt get hot anymore. It takes twice as long to get it straight and it really does not last long either. Very disappointed in the Chi since so many people recommened it. I wont buy another one again.:(
Awesome!

It is one of the best straight irons I've seen in years. Oh, and one thing about the breaking problem try not to drop it DUH. I recommend the CHI for eveyone.

Bought two of these for my daughters. Couldn't beat the price - much cheaper than at local stores! The girls love their chi - what a difference! Folica is our new favorite place!
