Pretty good...
Reviewer:

This was the first Chi I purchased, and I loved it! It worked so much better than a less expensive straightener. My Chi worked fine for a little over a year, until there was a short in it. The red light would start flashing or it wouldn't even turn on (the red light is suppost to be on when the Chi is on). It was extremely fustrating after how expensive this product is.
best ever

This is my first flat iron, but it is fantastic!! It heats up supper fast and my hair looks great - so smooth and shiny. So easy to use - and no getting my hair caught or stuck. I don't know what I was doing before.
Pretty good.

when I go to the salon my stylist uses that straightener. It works pretty good but it doesn't get totally straight, I'd take a picture but my camera got stolen. She said she bought it a year and a half ago and she uses it A LOT and it doesn't give her problems. So good on durability but not on getting curly hair really straight.
CHI vs Hairart flatirons

I was the proud owner of a HAIRART flatiron for almost 5-6 years, yes the same one, until its untimely burnout. I wasn't upset. As much as I used it over the years, I'm surprised that it didn't die sooner. However, for my next purchase, I decided to buy a CHI, the 1" plates to be exact and I must say that I like it, but I'm not in love with it. Something about the HAIRART plates made them compatible with whatever styling product I decide to use before I plate my hair up, but not with the CHI. Even when applying a light everyday strength building styling creme (Softsheen/Carson) to my hair just before using the CHI, it sometimes does not come out as luxurious as I know that it could be. Maybe I need to wait a while before making a final conclusion, but preliminarily, this is how I feel at the moment. Thanks for reading.

Shortage

I really loved this straightener it worked really well up until two years after I bought it. There is a shortage in the cord. It turns off and on when the cord is moved. It makes me think it really isn't worth the money. But other than that it works pretty good. I might try a different one next time though.
Love the Chi!

I have very thick, naturally curly hair. The chi makes my hair look smooth and sleek. It eats up fast and gets the job done. Other flat irons I used in the past never got the job done. I highly recomend the Chi!

My first chi lasted for five years. I almost thought it might last forever. As usual all good things must come to an end. I didn't even consider a different or less expensive brand. I got right on line and placed my order for a new one.
I LOVE MY CHI!!!`

I have been haveing a chi for a very long time. I had the first one I think that came out and it finally starting giving me trouble.. So I decided to get the new Turdo Chi.. I absolutly LOVE IT!! I live in the south so it is very HUMID and ladies we all know what that can do to your hair!!! With this iron it takes me about five min. in the morning to get my hair ready and stays looking GREAT all day.. So if you are thinking about getting a CHI you should it is worth every penny.
Excellent Product

Works well with thick hair and I like the fact that you can adjust the heat setting. I have been using all of the Chi products for several years now. I have always been pleased.
Works very well

This iron was for my daughter who has very thick hair and it works great to straighten her hair. After wasting $$$ on several irons we are very pleased with this product.

I've had my chi for about a month and I love it. It leaves my curly hair perfectly straight, it heats up quickly, and is easy to use. It also doesn't burn my hair.
Does NOT get hot enough.

This would be a great iron for someone with half way straight hair. But i have VERY VERY curly, long, not so thick hair. IT DOES NOT GET HOT ENOUGH. it only gets to 350. It worked but took me about an hour, when it takes my hair stylist less than 25 mins. to do my whole head, with her iron that gets to 410. So i returned it for a hotter iron i think ima try the sedu. I'll let ya'll know how it works for me.
Heating problems

The first time I used the Chi Turbo 1", it worked really well. However, after subsequent uses, I've noticed that the iron doesn't heat up enough. I now have the setting on the highest heat setting available, and it isn't very hot. I have Asian wavy (manageably wavy) hair, and this straightener barely makes the cut. If you have thick, humidity prone hair, consider buying another straightener or the original Chi. I've used the original Chi several times (my friend owns one) and that one worked really well. However, my main concern was that the original Chi lacked temperature setting, and it was way too hot to use on a daily basis.
The straightener works better with the Chi iron guard spray. It keeps your hair straight (but not limp) no matter how foggy or sweaty you get ;-)
Disappointed

Was looking forward to my CHI flat iron, but starting the first time a plugged it in the red power light starting flickering on and off, and it didn't seem to get very hot. Have heard CHI's often do this witin a year, but didn't expect it to upon first use! Am returning it and may try a Sedu instead!
I love the CHI Turbo Flat Iron

I love the CHI turbo flat Iron. I have a lot of hair curly/wavy and I can do this in 15 minutes and my hair looks perfect. I'm buying this second one for my sister in law who recently started straighting her hair. I've had the same CHI flat iron for 4 years and it's still does a great job.
Glad I finally bought a CHI!!!

I have used this Chi Turbo flat iron for about 6 years. It heats up really fast and gets the job done. I paid a lot more for mine but the price on this site is a good deal, plus if you take care of it, it will last for years.

I have had to return this product two times in less than two months, due too electrical problems. The flat iron light wouldn't always turn on and heat up the iron. Not really happy, especially since I'am not a beautician & I don't even use it every day. But when it does work, it works great.
Chi is the best I have tried others.

Chi is tops. It is so easy to use! I had a Maxiglide and sent it back it was too cumbserome. This is lightweight and gets the job done. So far, so good!!! I would recommend this iron. Keep your hair moisturized.

I bought the Chi because my sister's Hair Dresser said that all the Hairdressers use them. Even my neice who is a Hair Dresser uses them and recommends them.
I have have long think curly hair and I like the product but time is an issue with me. I would prefer something that you would only have to go over twice verses 3 to 4 times to get it look straight without a hint of wave.
I have not been able to find such a product but this is will do the job if you have the time to wait.
