If it's a new Caruso unit, then I'd give it a rating of 5 stars. But I'm finding that the units just don't last. The last time I bought the units, I discovered a replacement form that included the steamer on the list. However, when I called the contact on the form (Helen of Troy), they said that they no longer sell the steamers. When I asked about options, they said to go ahead and buy another complete set. I have more curlers than I know what to do with!

I've been using a Caruso steam setter for almost 15 years now. I never, ever, ever want to use anything else! My old one stopped steaming -- I started scheming. My straight hair desperately needed something! I tried to find one around here and couldn't so I went online as fast as I could to get one. In the meantime, I purchased one of those hot roller things, spent 15 minutes waiting for it to heat up, and then had to leave the rollers in my hair for 15 to 20 minutes to cool. Then, I went outside and within an hour, my hair was straight! The Caruso starts steaming quickly and about the time I get my hair rolled, I can start taking them out. And these curls last ALL DAY. Nothing else every worked for my straight, straight hair. I hope they never stop making these!

Foam Replacement
Reviewer:

My particular rollers didn't come apart so I couldn't replace with the sponge rollers. You can buy foam pad by the foot at the fabric store and replace old foam on rollers. You can get it the thickness you need and cut it to the exact size of roller.Also the foam is more durable Cut it to fit roller and hand stitch it down the side. Can't live without my Caruso. So glad they are making them again. My steamer last 6 months to a year.If I use distilled water, they last longer. When they weren't available in stores, I resorted to Ebay but hate the thought of Used hair products. Scared of lice and such. So glad I can come to this website and know I can get a New one. Thanks.

Super response by folica. Confirmation, and tracking were great. Got the product within 5 days.
Have use Caruso for many years. It is an excellent product. My old one was not cleaned too well (by me) so after 6 years I thought I would replace it (the steamer part).
A "Must Have"

I can't think of anything more essential to my hair styling than the Caruso Steam Hairsetter. I have used these hairsetters daily for years and wouldn't use anything else. They are everything they are advertised to be -- small, yet durable. The steam arises within seconds, no waiting for the traditional hairsetters. And because it uses steam, it is not so destructive to my hair. I have also given them as gifts to my teenage daughters and to my mother. Very affordable and makes a great gift. Best of all, the steamer does not take up a lot of room and it packs easily when I go to various business trips or on vacation. Again, a very worthwhile produce that I am happy to evaluate.

The Caruso Steam Hairsetter gives me great curls in 5 minutes. It is so easy to use and easy to take along on a trip. It works great on my hair and actually holds the curl for several days. I love it.

I bought two of these and within a month, they both stopped producing steam. I'm very discouraged because my old one worked for years and years. What's up?>?
Want the salty one back

I used the pink salty curler for years and absolutely loved it! I can not get these new models to work well. I've had two now and neither put out any steam after the first couple of weeks. I love the steam curlers because they are so gentle on fine hair..no split ends. But, I really would like to find a pink salty one again. Please Help!!

I have bone straight hair, and I can style it in so many ways using this setter. Once the hair is dry, put on the rollers, then give an extra shot of steam on each roller. This really is the key to stronger hold. I really love the super jumbo rollers, like pamela anderson's hair. tiny rollers for a spiral look, and medium for a mix-match combo.

I also have been using caruso rollers since day one and wouldn't trade it for the world! I lucked out by catching a store going out of business and bought 2 of them, that was about 20 years ago and I'm still using them. I love old salty and hope they will last forever. I have bought new rollers just to get more and they are still working. I need new covers as mine are stretched out..lol but considering how long they last what's another $10 bucks! Thanks for the tip though some of my rollers are getting a little "spungy",no pun intended, I will try out those pink rollers. I usually purchase mine at "Sally's".
Thanks for the tip

Hey everyone. Thanks for the tip to replace just the foam part of the rollers with the store find sponge rollers. I was just searching the internet for discount places to buy replacement rollers. I agree they are expensive. Thanks so much.

Old "Salty" & Replacement Foams
Reviewer:
Jan Billings

I've been using the Caruso steam system pretty much since it came on the market. My hair is extremely straight with no natural body to speak of, but the Caruso handles it nicely, with curls that stay even after sleeping on them. Miraculous! There is no doubt, however, that "old salty" resulted in a firmer curl than the new no-salt model. Just purchased one of the new ion setters and the curls seem looser and not as "confirmed."
I also completely agree with other reviewers that the foam curler covers should indeed be sold separately. I LOVE the tip that those cheapie pink rollers from the drug store will work; wish I'd thought of it years ago and I intend to give it a try. Certainly would have saved me a lot of money in replacement curlers. Nevertheless, I am a confirmed Caruso Steam Hairsetter user. I wouldn't think of using anything else.
NO SPLIT ENDS!!

the unit I have finally quit working after 15-20 years of use! So I'll get another! These are the best curlers ever....long lasting curls and no split ends, ever! There's just nothing else like it.
Amazing Product - but prefer older salt req'd model
Reviewer:

The new models in my opinion don't work as well as the old models that required salt. With my old Caruso hairsetter, my curls were stronger and lasted longer. I didn't mind having to add salt for the superior results. But, no retailer as far as I can tell is still selling any of those models *** and I've been looking. Send me mail if you have an old one in good condition that you want to sell - Thanks. Finally, the salt argument aside -Caruso steam setters are still my preferred method of curling my hair as it is less damaging than heated curling irons/rollers and the curl lasts longer.
