stopped heating soon after buying
Reviewer: Ann from United States   2009-08-27

At first it worked very well, although it was sometimes difficult to turn on. Heated up very quickly. However, after only being used approximately ten times it does not heat up. Very disappointed.

Broke!
Reviewer: Juanita from Washington DC   2009-07-16

The coating started to wear off within a couple of months. Now the casing is inexplicably broken. I expected better from Hot Tools.

This iron is hard to turn on. The spring is not very good, so my fine hair slips through it. It sometimes takes 3 attempts to hold the hair. It heats up very quickly and does a fine job of curling.

OK, but not amazing

I bought this curling iron almost a year ago. I find that the on/off button sticks all the time and takes patients to get it to work. Once it turns on, it heats up fast. The thing I don't like about it is it doesn't have a very strong spring and my hair slides through when I begin to roll my hair around the barrel. I bought this style of curling iron because I have used Hot Tools Professional Curling Irons before and really liked them, especially the super strog spring they advertise on other models, which this one just doesn't have. When I do get it to curl, it curls well, and makes my hair feel smooth and healthy, but it isn't easy to use.

Bad Heating Element
Reviewer: Anonymous from San Francisco, CA   2008-04-06

I have had many problems with this iron. The second time I used it, I only had it on my hair for maybe 30 seconds and when I released, a chunk of my hair burned off! It always makes my hair smell burnt no matter what level of heat I have it set on. Also, after about 6 months of use (about 4 times a month) it stopped heating all together. I would not recommend this product.
