i got this straightner for christmas last year and iwas really excited to straiten my hair! the first time i used it i noticed it worked so much better than my other straitner.but as ive used it over the past year i havent liked it. my hair didnt stay strait for a whole day and this straitner doesnt straiten ends well at all. it did get rid of frizz and made my hair shiny though. overall i do NOT recomend this straitner and im currently buying a chi :)
Gets the Job done, .. I guess.

I've own this straightener since Christmas of 2008, and boy have I been waiting to get a new one.
I dont know how to describe this straightener. It's sort of bulky and heavier then others I've tried. Mine makes a rattling sound every time you pick it up, which kind of gets annoying after time. I see some people have rated this straightener 5 stars. This is not a 5 star straightener. I'm going to write the Pros and Cons of this straighter for you to see.
Pros-
1/It can get you STRAIGHT hair
2/Gets fairly hot (400F)
3/Gets hot quickly (around 20 seconds for lowest setting)
Cons-
1/ The prongs bend super easily
2/ The top blade gets hot, so you can't hold it down
3/ The plates DO NOT seal completely when they are closed!
4/ There is little bumps on the plates that are annoying
5/ Prepare for split ends, even using heat protection.
6/ Leaves hair more rough then silky
7/ Doesn't work with the weather
8/ Does not flip/curl very well
My suggestion:
This straightener isn't worth it's price for sure. Don't buy this straightener if you plan to play with it for more then a year, or you will end up in the same situation as me. This straightener was a HUGE upgrade for me from the old 20 dollar one I use to own, but as time went by, I realized that I could of done much better. This straightener will work for you if you can't order online because it is available for the same price at WalMart. If you are planning on ordering from Folica.com, then look up other brands. Search for Solia and Sedu straighteners before you decide that you MUST get this straightener.
Really works!

at first when i saw this straightener i thought it would act like my other conair straightener, which is really bad and made me spend about 20-30 minutes straightening my hair. I have wavy, unrelieable hair that sits just above my shoulder.
However, when i asked for a good straightener, i was very surprised to get this one. i immediatly went to the washroom and straightened my hair. I was so shocked! it worked AMAZING. the only drag part about it is that the steam chamber only holds so much distilled water and runs out easily. But I can live with that!
the best i have ever owned

i think anyone who uses this will be satisfied and as for the people who complained about it not working with split ends DUH get your hair cut normally and you wont have that problem i would tell everyone they should buy this

pretty good. i have naturally very thick, wavy hair and it takes around 20-30 minutes to straighten my hair with this. it gets my hair really straight and soft and i love the steam feature but after about an hour my hair gets a little wavy and i have to go over every piece a few times. it pulls my hair as well. its not worth the money. spend your money on something better like a solia or sedu or ghd. ive had it for a year and it still works though which is good.
Works well

It works well. I've had mine for almost a year now. Its starting to wear out. It makes my long thick curly hair staticy, but nothing thats unmanageable. In another 6 months, i'd assume i'll need another, as it is slowly getting old.
depends on your hair type.

i was very excited about getting this product because of the good reviews that I heared. When I first tried it, it made my hair stick straight (my hair is naturally wavy) and it gave my hair a nice shine. However, after using it so many times (i use it almost everyday), i developed LOTS of slit ends resulting in my hair to not be as straight at the ends. I use this straightener on a bunch of my friends and I found that the results varied. It won't go perfectly straight if your hair has lots of split ends. I once straightened my friend's hair with a CHI (i own LOTS of straighteners), and it worked well, I tried this straightener a few days later, and it made her hair VERY frizzy. Don't use the straightener if you have lots of split ends. Also, the container that hold the water for the steam is tiny, so you have to keep filling it up. Overall, it's an ok product. I, however, do not use it anymore.
Nervous to buy... GLAD I DID

I read all the reviews before I went out and got this straightener and was so nervous because people were really back and fourth... I think this flat iron does Amazing ... and it doesnt leave my hair looking like straw!! My hair is soft and shiny... and feels great!
Running hands through shiny locks as we speak

Wow! I just bought it tonight after much deliberation. Pricey and I have a large collection of straighteners just not worth the effort for end result. I straightened my hair and could not believe the results. At first was worried because it looked frizzy but just made sure under layers were straightened and now I don't recognize myself in the mirror. Very put together for a change. Every time I straightened in the past I felt like I had a really bad wig on. Nothing worked. (I have very curly ringlets). I love my curly hair but it is so nice to have a change and feel smooth. I only had to put in a bit of a glossy oil in for finishing touch. NO gel or mousse. And I am very lazy but found the job not tedious at all. Fun!
Disappointed

Was exited to get this product. I find that it does not straighten hair as good as my other (wigo) straightener. I have fine highlighted hair - I just do not see what the deal is with this product. My tourmaline staightener leaves my hair silky and very straight - this one does not! Big waste of $$$$
OK product.

I just purchased this product for my 8 yr. old daughter and she has very thick curly hair. It works great from her roots to the middle of her hair but it has dried up her ends. Also the water reservoir is too small and you have to keep filling it up constantly or re-setting from low to high steam. If you have long curly hair like my daughter, it will take you about 1-2 hrs. just to do your hair. I also agree with another reviewer that it does make the hair frizzy. I don't believe this product was worth the $99.00 I paid in Feb.2009
Works really well

I've had my fair share of straighteners and this one really is quite effective. My sister got one for christmas and I was mortified when I saw that It was a conair, but was quite surprised when I tried it.
Conair usually makes cheap, waste of money straighteners but this one is just as efficient as the salon hair straighteners I've had. (Babyliss, solia)
The only downfall is that it's quite big, so not that great for shorter hair. It does curl the tips and sraighten wonderfully though.
I definetly recommend this one !
It's not that Great

I was extremely excited to get this straightener when I saw on TV. But when I finally got it, I was very disappointed. I tried straightening my hair one day and the straightener did NOT do a good job. My old straightener works way better than this. I would not recommend this. I love the CHI way more! It actually straightens your hair!
would not reccomand

I am an african american woman with natural hair.I havent had a perm in 3 1/2 years. I tried the conair straightener for a month.At first it didnt straighten my hair very well at all.I even combed my hair out first and it was still very puffy. The steam didnt last long and I kept having to refill the water. I used it several more times. Each time it straightened a little better. It got to the point were I could wear a smooth ponytail but the ends were puffy and would go in every direction. It never got better after that. I will invest my mony in to buying a sedu.
this is the best
