Product Rating: 5 must-buy
Reviewer: tw from new york  Tue Jul 17 2007

chi's are the best without a doubt and you really cant beat this price, especially with the free case. the box it came in seemed a little ratty around the edges, but the product was brand-new. it leaves hair soft and silky especially if you straighten with a comb.

Product Rating: 3 Always Wanted a Chi...
Reviewer: Bobbie   Mon Jul 16 2007

Bought it at a good price, however this model is not the best of the Chi line. This is no better than a off brand I purchased a while back. I did use a different model Chi over this last weekend and it was AWESOME! I recommend CHI, but just not this model.

Product Rating: 4 Not too hot
Reviewer: Candace   Sun Jul 15 2007

I bought this brand because I used my sisters Chi and loved the Chi brand. This model although does not seem to get as hot as my sisters model. Not bad though.

Product Rating: 5 Trust Worthy

Product Rating: 2 CHI Turbo not what I expected
Reviewer: Disappointed from Jacksonville, Florida  Thu Jul 12 2007

I have been using a $30 flat iron for about 1 year. I decided to finally break down and spend the money on a Chi. To my disappointment my $30 flat iron works better than the Chi. If you are considering making a purchase I would say the $30 flat irons you can purchase from a beauty supply store work just as well and even better in my case.

Product Rating: 2 Stopped working after a year and a half
Reviewer: Deb from Fayetteville, AR  Wed Jul 11 2007

I loved my Chi Turbo and used it alsmost every day. It was my first straightener so I had nothing to compare it to. But, after about 18 months of using it, the light started flickering and it wouldnt work. I would have to slam it closed repeatedly for it to come back on. It finally died on me a week ago. I happen to use a friends Sedu Straightener yesterday and it is better than my Chi was! I have been using a $30 Walmart brand for a week now and I am purchasing a Sedu tomorrow! If you are going to spend the money, get a Sedu! It works better than a Chi in my opinion and it costs the same. Plus, the reviews on it dont mention it breaking down, like so many of the Chi reviews! I gave it a below average review because it broke and I expect better quality for such a high price.

Product Rating: 5 AMAZING, 5 STARS
Reviewer: Kristen from Long Island, NY  Tue Jul 10 2007

this straightener is incredible. its the best size and the best one out there. on average it takes me 20 - 40 minutes to straighten my hair afte being fully dryed. it is incredible & i have owned this same one for 3 years now and am truly in love with it. if your looking for the right straightner, BUY THIS!!!

Product Rating: 3 works well but....
Reviewer: Laura from Atlanta, GA  Fri Jul 06 2007

I bought this straightener a little over a year ago and it has just stopped working. It will turn on every now and then but it is not reliable. I wont purchase another due to the fact that this seems to happen quite frequently. I went with a sedu straightener this time!

Product Rating: 2 >dry hair in the long run<
Reviewer: rachel   Mon Jun 25 2007

i have had the chi for 2 yrs bought at pure beauty store and liked it a lot at first did help flatten out the volume i had but made it so dry after repeated uses over 2 years-i used it almost everyday with thermal sprays-basically there are better irons out there-Hai digistick is my favorite although only had it for 2 months

Product Rating: 2 Broke after 7 months
Reviewer: Melissa from California  Sat Jun 16 2007

I have had my Chi for about 7 months and up till today it worked great. But today it shorted out and stoped working, So I would not recomend this chi to anyone unless they liked spending a hundred dollars every year for a new one.

Product Rating: 1 Dissapointing
Reviewer: Debra from NJ  Thu Jun 14 2007

This flat iron dissapointed me - It died just 3 months after I purchased it! Unacceptable for such an expensive iron.

Product Rating: 2 Awesome untill it dies an early death
Reviewer: Stephanie from Chicago  Mon Jun 11 2007

I have now had two Chi Turbos die on me. I am not abusive to my starighteners, and in the six years I have straightened my hair, this is the only brand that has out-right quit on me. First, the little red on light will flicker, then the straightener will work sparaticly. Finally it will be almost impossible to get the straightener to remain on and it will become useless. This is way too much money to spend on a product that has now failed me twice! I am now looking for something under 50 bucks that will work well.

P.S. when my chis were alive, they were WONDERFUL! Never seen anything work better.

Product Rating: 5 BEST HAIR STRAIGHTENER EVER!!!!!
Reviewer: sarah from KCK REPIN  Wed May 23 2007

This is the best flat iron i have ever had. My hair use to take 2 hours to straighten but since i got my CHI it only takes me an hour. my hair is curly, thick, and fizzy and this flat iron straightens it soo easily. its increadible. I will never get any other hair straightener other than a CHI. FO REAL!! Yall need to buy this it works so great.

Product Rating: 5 Chi hair straightener...the BEST!
Reviewer: katherine from walla walla, washington :]  Mon May 21 2007

In my experience (and ive gone through 4 straighteners) the 1' Chi is the best! I treat mine well, and its lasted for a month (so far) It makes my hair shiny and silky, and as long as I use my Chi silk infusion my hair is damage free! If you have the money to splurge on it, go for it!!

Product Rating: 4 great for most
Reviewer: Gina   Tue May 15 2007

The Chi 1" turbo is a very good flat iron. It straightens my hair well if I go slowly. I have very thick coarse hair. It works best if the hair is less coarse than mine.

Product Rating: 5 Chi Turbos are the best !
Reviewer: Jenessa from Pace Florida  Sat May 05 2007

Product Rating: 5 THE BEST HAIR STRAIGHTNER EVA!!!!
Reviewer: GANGSTA S from KCK  Thu May 03 2007

THIS IS THE BEST FLAT IRON I HAVE EVER HAD. IT STRAIGHTENS SOOOO FAST. WHEN I HAD A CHEAP HAIR STRAIGHTNER FROM WAL-MART IT WORKED OK & IT TOOK ME ABOUT AND HOUR AND A HALF TO STRAIGHTEN MY HAIR DECENTLY. WHEN I GOT MY WONDERFUL CHI IT TOOK ME ABOUT AND HOUR TO STRAIGHTEN MY FIZZY, CURLY, THICK HAIR. ITS THE BEST FLAT IRON EVER. IM NEVER GONNA GET ANY OTHER BRAND OF HAIR STRAIGHTNERS OTHER THAT CHI. WHO EVER INVENTED THIS IS A LIFE SAVER!!!!

Product Rating: 3 Chi vs. Sedu
Reviewer: Cindy   Wed May 02 2007

The Chi is pretty average, but after having it 3 months it quit working on me. So, I bought the Sedu and absolutely love it!!!! Bigger and hotter!!!!

Product Rating: 2 no
Reviewer: Lizzie from Wisconsin  Wed Apr 25 2007

I was looking for a good striaghner but this one was not. I would not buy it again. I'm looking for another one. It will stay straight for 30 min tops its bad. It takes so long to use.

Product Rating: 5 Chi Flat Iron
Reviewer: LaQuanda from Washington, DC  Tue Apr 24 2007

I bought this as a gift, but my best friend just loves them. She raves about how easy it is to straighten her hair as well as add curls.
