Product Rating: 1 Broke!
Reviewer: Cecilia   Mon Apr 25 2005

Yea yea...you've all seen this before. But to those who've said they're still using theirs after 9 months...just wait. I bought mine a year ago, LOVED (notice past tense) it and about a week ago it just died on me. It lights up but doesn't heat up. So for those of you that LOVE it right now...word of advice, SAVE YOUR WARRANTY!

Just some advice from a friendly consumer :)

Reviewer: DK Hall from KY  Wed Jan 26 2005

I had this flat iron for approximately 3 months, used it less than 20 times and it quit working. I hope the warranty works!

Product Rating: 1 Don't Buy!!
Reviewer: Corri from Detroit, MI  Tue Nov 30 2004

Do yourself a favor and buy the Sedu iron! It may be a bit more money, but well worth it and it won't break in a week! Trust me. Hot Tools sucks!

Reviewer: Nikki   Mon Nov 22 2004

I have had hair straightners before, even ones at this price range, and this one by far lasted the shortest amount of time. I swear, before the one month mark hit the plates burned out. I am now shopping for another one that won't burn out as fast.

Product Rating: 1 Keeps breaking
Reviewer: Bree from Dallas  Tue Nov 09 2004

I've gone through 2 of these and they have both consistently stopped working the third time I use them. The first time I exchanged it I was told that several people had returned theirs with the same complaint, so I should keep the box in case I needed to return it again. $60 is way too much to throw away on junk. spend it on a flat iron that works more than twice.

Product Rating: 2 Unreliable
Reviewer: Britney   Mon Nov 01 2004

when it works, its great... but i have gone through 5 of these in which either both or one of the plates stops heating, my best friend has gone through 3 and my sister has gone through 3 as well

Reviewer: Diana from Chicago  Wed Oct 13 2004

Doesn't deserve a star! Worked great for a few days but then stopped heating up. Complete rip off NOT PROFESSIONAL very cheaply made. The way the heat setting is set up allows any moisture to get inside the iron and ruin it. Just look at the heat and power setting VERY CHEAP

Product Rating: 1 dont waste your money.
Reviewer: Jill from New Jersey  Thu Sep 16 2004

i had this flat iron for less than a month & one side stopped heating up. Even before that it took a while to heat up & it pulls at hair a lot. My hair takes 15 minutes to get straight & with this it too double the time. If youre gonna get a flat iron get the sedu. dont waste your time on this cause its just going to break anyway.

Product Rating: 5 i love it
Reviewer: heather from New York  Thu Sep 09 2004

I loved it. I have such thick curly hair this was the only one that made my hair super straight and because its bigger than the other ones it cut the time in half. People have been complaining that it won't heat up but I've had mine for almost a yr and it still works great.

Product Rating: 5 I love this!
Reviewer: Karen   Sat Jun 05 2004

I had this for about a month when it stopped heating up, but if you get a warranty on it, they will send you a replacement and my new one has been working great since!

Reviewer: Lisa from Chicago  Fri Jun 04 2004

I LOVED this flatiron before. I have very thick and curly hair and it's the one iron that was able to make my hair extremely straight. But now, two months later, it won't heat up at all. It's a waste of money :( I wish I had read these reviews before I bought this product.

Product Rating: 1 Don't Buy This
Reviewer: Adriana from San Diego  Thu Apr 15 2004

I paid $80 for this product and after a couple months of using it won't heat up. Obviously this has happened to more than one person. Do Not Buy This it is a waste of money.

Product Rating: 5 I love it!
Reviewer: Christine from San Diego, CA  Thu Apr 01 2004

People seem to complain that it doesn't heat up after a while but I've had mine for months, I use it everyday and it still heats up just fine.

Product Rating: 2 DONT BUY THIS PRODUCT
Reviewer: Lacy from Virginia  Mon Mar 15 2004

I bought this straightener one week ago. I used it once and now it wont heat up at all. I wasted too much money on this straightener, please dont buy it.

Product Rating: 2 It broke after a month!
Reviewer: A customer from California  Fri Jan 16 2004

I bought this product approximately one month ago, and use it 3-4 times a week. Now, the ceramic bars will not heat up and I have lost all this money. I thought this was the best brand, but apparently not.
