Product Rating: 4 love it...
Reviewer: L V from New York, NY  Sun Jun 25 2006

Ive used high end flat irons and yes they are amazing, but from the cheaper flat iron spectrum, this has to be the best...basically it does its job and i love it and use it all the time! I highly recommend this, its a bargain for the price...also I have dropped mine a zillion times...and it still works like a charm!

Product Rating: 5 Great product!
Reviewer: A.B. from Florida  Tue Jun 20 2006

I have had great experiences with this straightening iron -- I have owned the same one for 5 years, and it still works great (also, I use it every day). I don't have much experience with other irons; however, I can say that I have course, frizzy, wavy hair and in only about 5 minutes my hair is straight.

Product Rating: 4 great!!!!!

Product Rating: 1 Very Very BAD PRODUCT
Reviewer: Not Happy from Massachusetts  Mon Jun 12 2006

Hello, Since December we have purchased two of these flat irons. They only seem to work properly for about two months. I know have two flat irons that no longer work at all, it is very frustating purchasing a product that you feel will be satisfactory and the results are nothing but unsatisfactory.

Product Rating: 4 better than their ceramic
Reviewer: heidi from orlando fl  Mon Jun 05 2006

i have both flat irons the 3inch ceramic and this one. this one works better and last longer. i have had this one longer than my ceramic and my ceramic dont even work anymore so i suggest u buy this one save ur money the ceramic isnt any better and it goes faster

Product Rating: 1 Terrible...
Reviewer: Gina from Florida  Fri Jun 02 2006

I work at Trade Secret (part of Regis) and every time I have ever sold one of these it's been returned for a Chi. The Chi also has a lifetime warranty. So it's like only buying a flat iron once. Im about to open three of my own salons and I know that all i'll be using are the Chi Nano flat irons! Never Hot Tools.

Product Rating: 5 big tool for small price
Reviewer: lily   Thu Jun 01 2006

This is my third time purchase this product, and it's the best out there. I suggest if you have very curly or coarse hair. straighten small portion of the hair, and you'll get extremely silky straighten hair.

Reviewer: Angie from Ontario, Canada  Tue May 30 2006

I've had this flat iron for 4 years and it has never let me down!! Until recently, the light goes out which means it goes off. I have tied an elastic band around the handles and now it works again. I would recommend this product to anyone!
But I must say, after hearing everyone rave about the Sedu (even though I already know this one is great) I'm tempted to buy a Sedu. We'll see, I have to figure out how to purchase it from Canada. :o)

Product Rating: 3 great value
Reviewer: Lizzie from Boulder, CO  Thu May 18 2006

For the price, this one works just fine. I've had Hot Tools for about three years and it hasnt broken or anything, I use it about once a week and it gives good results, not as good as a chi, but for the price, its effective!

Product Rating: 4 WORKS GREAT
Reviewer: ELLEN from BOSTON, MA  Wed May 10 2006

JUST BOUGHT THIS IRON. I'VE USED THE SOLANO ONE BEFORE AND THIS PRODUCES BETTER RESULTS. IT LEAVES MY VERY THICK CURLY HAIR LOOKING SOFT AND SHINY. SOLANO WOULD DRY OUT MY ENDS! ALSO A BARGAIN AT THIS PRICE CONSIDERING I PAID $90 FOR THE SOLANO!

Product Rating: 2 its ok
Reviewer: cayla   Tue May 02 2006

ive been through at least 15 straightners and everytime i get one i think its the best ive had untill i use it more then once and it wears out. my hair is really thick and curly so it hard for me to find anythin to straighten it or even product to keep it curly wihtout frizziing..i think im gona throw away my hot tools straightner and save up for the sedu straightner

Product Rating: 4 I love it!
Reviewer: Ali from Southampton, NY  Sat Apr 29 2006

I had this flat iron for almost 3 years, it was amazing. My hair was flat and straight, I was so happy with it! At one point, it just stopped working, the light flickered on, but both plates wouldn't get hot. I guess that is what you get after 3 years. I am def. going to buy it again!

Product Rating: 1 not too good
Reviewer: lalala   Mon Apr 17 2006

this was the first straightener i had ever gotten, and i loved it... but about 4 months after i got it, it stopped working, i would pound on it, until the light came back on, but it would only heat for a minute then it totally cut out... i ended up buying the same straightener again, and about 5 months later, the same thing happened. The only way i would recommend this product, is if you plan on just trying it out, for the cheep price, and invest in a better one in the future.

Product Rating: 4 Great Iron for the Price
Reviewer: Katie from New York  Sun Apr 16 2006

I bought this iron about a year ago, and it still works pretty well. I use it every day. It's great for the price and much better than Conair. Right now I've got short, layered hair (straightens in 10 minutes) but it also worked well when my hair was longer. I'm looking for a new one, though, because it's built up some strange rust-like residue on the plates. Overall, it's good for the price.

Product Rating: 5 Works Great!
Reviewer: Theresa   Tue Apr 11 2006

I've had my Hot tools straightener since September 2005, that would be 7 months. Mine works as good as it did when I first got it. I dont see how everyones breaks so quickly. It still heats up great,and it makes my hair very straight. I use it every-other day for about 30 minutes, and my hair always comes out perfect. I dont have curly hair, but i have wavy, thick, & long hair. Ive done my friends hair which is extremely curly, when it was wet, and it worked pretty good, but not perfect. My suggestion is if you have very curly hair to blow it out, and then use this straightener. I think its worth it, its works quit well, and it very affordable.

Product Rating: 2 not very good
Reviewer: Anne from Kansas City  Sun Apr 02 2006

this stratener works good in the beginning but stops after about two months. If your hair is thick or curly i would not gett this at all. i have it now and am looking for a new oneg

Product Rating: 5 Works wonders on curly hair!
Reviewer: Michelle from Missouri  Wed Mar 22 2006

I absoutly love this flat iron! It worked wonders on my curly hair, my hair was so stright it was awesome.

Product Rating: 5 Excellent Product!
Reviewer: Nikki from NJ  Thu Feb 23 2006

I have had this product for about 2 years i believe(it was like 50 or 60 dollars when I bought it)and it is excellent! I have never had any problems with it and my hair is truly very very hard to get straight. There is no other way I would do it then using hot tools hair straightner!

Product Rating: 2 Won't heat!
Reviewer: Nicole from Pennsylvania  Wed Feb 15 2006

I've only had my hot tools for about 4 months and it COMPLETELY stopped heating! The light comes on as if it were on and heating but nothing happens- My roommate just had this same problem last month and she bought a new Hot Tools but not me- I'm finally gonna put the $ out and try a Solia!

Product Rating: 5 this is the best!!
Reviewer: karie from bellingham, wa  Tue Feb 14 2006

i bought a straightener from a local store and hated it. i got this straightner from my beautician and it's the best. it gets as hot as you want it to and works very well. i have very thick hair and this one is fast and very nice to use. i highly recommend this straightner. most stores aren't carrying this product anymore so better order it online! way worth the price =)
