this straightener lasted six years. and would have lasted longer if.. i didnt snap it in half lol. thats how bad it was. after six years it took like more time to heat up like 5 or 6 minutes and the hinge was getting loose so it wouldnt close right on top of the 2 irons.it made my hair shiny and super straight! but it did soooo much damage to my hair even with a heat protector since its only gold plated and gold plates are known for snagging and leaving hot spots. it doess snag owwie! but itss ok if your hair is so thick that it doesnt get damaged!
love itt

I do not recommend this straightener to anyone my revolon I got from walmart worked better then this it took this thing like 30 minutes to heat up after I straightened a half of a section it was no longer warm. Junk.
Good...for a non ceramic standard cheap iron

I got it five years ago...was the biggest hit with everyone I knew because it definitely was way better than all the drugstore irons like Conair.This was before ceramic irons were popular and known about well, at least in my crowd. It did do a decent job straightening especially with heat protectant/ironing spray and straightening shampoo and conditioner. But you basically get what you pay for-it gets very hot and is way better than Conair or other drugstore irons. But since it is non ceramic, it gives some frizz, plus I hear it ripping my hair as I iron. It needs more touch ups the next day than with a ceramic iron.In addition, it is 2 1/4 inch-monster size plates and also the iron is clunky and heavy...not exactly easy to hold. And my friends say that theirs broke. Mine still works after five years but that is probably because I didn't use it frequently. Bottom line is you get what you pay for-it is way more effective than Conair or the other cheap brands. But it doesn't work as well as a ceramic, plus has the cons of a non ceramic such as frizz, damage, less holding power and is kind of clunky. You get what you pay for.
LOVE IT!!!

I absolutely love this hair iron. It totally transforms my hair from super curly to sleek and shiny without the use of a hairdryer or hair products. I totally recommend it!

PS- Whenever I use this straightner it will straighten my hair but AS SOON as I go OUTSIDE it starts to curl again! NO LIE! its soo annoying! No matter what fizz/humidity stuff I put in my hair, this straightner just seems to fry it away. TRUST ME this isnt the best straightner out there.
Its ok..

Ive had this straightner for a little less then a year now.. Its NOT the best. For my friend, one plate totally stoped working (she has the same one as me). and for myself, I will put it to a heat setting and then sometimes the heat just drops. Say you put it on 200 it will just randomly drop to 100. So I end up having to put it down and wait for it to heat up again! Plus, on the side of the straightner, there is like paint or something that is comming off and like melting from the heat. I would deff recomend the Solia. Thats the next straightner im going to buy and it seems to work wonders! =p type "solia" in the search box and see for yourself!!
Awesome. Period.

I've unruly thick, curly, huge/poofy hair. I've always had trouble straightening my hair until I found this flat iron. I didn't want to spend a lot of money unless I had too & I was glad that tried this one out... works great!
AMAZING!!!

HotTools is AMAZING!!! i love this product soo much! ive had it for 6 years and it still works as great as the day i bought it! i know it takes longer if u section off pieces of hair, but it does work better that way. though that is the same with any flat iron! the only reason im looking for a new flat iron is because i used to have long hair, but i recently cut my hair really short and a big flat iron is very difficult to use on short hair, although it still works. though anyone with long hair i HIGHLY recommend this product and hopefully u will love it as much as i do!!! or if u have short hair, just do what im doing and get a 1 inch HotTools flat iron instead!!! :]

this flat iron might be good for someone who has really curly hair and is satisfied with a simple "straightening" of their hair that actually includes kinks and everything, but i am NOT. i expect my hair to be as straight as it is when i use my friend's global beauty flat iron, but alas it is not so. i hate this flat iron, i would never reccomend buying hot tools as their products are cheap and subpar.

I've had this straightener for about 3 years now and its definitely decent. For its price, it does the job. I do agree with other reviewers that it can pull your hair at times.
All in all, this is an average straightener that has lasted me many years.
Can always count on...

I have used many flat irons since they came out. The others that cost over $100 are just as similar as the Hot Tools flat iron, yet Hot Tools is alot cheaper. You don't have to pay alot to straighen your hair.

I like this flat iron, and it does a really good job straightening and flattening, but it takes a lot longer to do than my previous flat iron that was almost the same. Sadly, it died, and I got this one, expecting th performance to be even better (because hottools is a pretty good brand) but it wasn't. Maybe I will try a newer model next time! ^_^
Good iron if you are on a low-budget

I had this iron before and it worked fine, the only thing i did not like was the smell it produced when it was hot. The first one i had broke after many times i dropped it but i had it for 2 years, so i decided to buy it again now because it is really good and it's cheap..

This is the first flat iron I've purchased(I wish it had been available in the '80"s!!) I was very impressed with the results. The only one thing I don't like about this flat iron is that it does pull at your hair. I hear the more expensive models may not do that, but for the price, I just have to be a little more careful while using as not to pull out a strand of hair.

This is a wonderful item! It works better than any I purchased in the past. You can adjust the heat level to your satisfaction and the results are absolutely professional. I have purchased an extra Flat Iron for my niece who has very thick hair. After using this product, her hair was silky straight!
BEST EVER
