Done With The Chi BrandI normally like the CHI- however, this was the 3rd one that I have had to purchase in the last 3 1/2 years, the other ones basically died. After my second one broke my sister, who is a professional stylist, let me borrow her rusk flat iron and I fell in love with it. She told me that she has had the rusk flat iron for 3 years and it still works perfectly. It is more expensive, but it straightens my hair so much better. I have naturally thick, wavy, long hair hair and it is very very hard to straighten and keep straight. The rusk flat iron that I purchased is the best I have ever used so I decided to return the chi turbo (which is the 3rd one I bought) and order a rusk. It is more expensive, but well worth it since chi's are known to just break after a certain time period (generally every 1 1/2- 2 years).
I think the rusk is a better investment, it comes with a 2 year (instead of chi's measly 1 year) warranty and overall it just a much better flat iron.
I am forever done with chi's now that I have used a rusk.posted Sep 1, 2010Link to this post -

Chi, I Love You.I love CHI. I just bought my 2nd CHI Turbo, my original was the non-digital one. Let me first tell you about my 1st CHI. Okay it lasted 6 years, and I beat the thing to hell. I used it pretty much everyday on high for about 30 minutes to an hour. By then end the felt was coming off the straightener. The reason I got the new CHI is that my old one got knocked of the counter while it was cooling down, honestly it still sort of works, I just have to wiggle the area where the cord and the straightener actually meets. So take that for it's 'ruggedness'. The new Digital CHI Turbo is nice thus far. I actually seems slightly heavier than the original. It has the 'floating' plates, they sort of move in the direction that your straightening. I like the blue back-lit LED, it makes it more visible that it is on, since my boyfriend frequently complained about burning himself with the 'old' one (with its blinking red light on the back) since it was hard to tell if it was on. It feels like this one gets slightly warmer than my last CHI. So hopefully this one lasts a long time. So if your having trouble choosing a straightener, go with the best and get a CHI.
And if your new the the 'higher-quality' straightening world, learn from me. I used to buy those cheap Revlon, Conair, drug-store brand straighteners at about $30 a pop. They would last me at most 2-3 months and die. The would ruin my hair and never really did the job. So, if spending the money is a problem think about how much you'd be saving. 3 (month)= 4 straighteners per year x $30/per straightener =$120 a year a least for something that isn't that great. Like I said before, I had my CHI for 6 years and I spent $180 at the time. It paid for itself in 1 year 1/2. It also give me the best hair I have had in my life!posted Jun 14, 2010Link to this post -

Returned This ChiI have had a CHI for 5yrs. It finally gave out and I purchased this CHI. I recently returned it for two reasons. The handle is too wide which makes it difficult to hold and the control is on the top so there is no way to hold it without touching the controls. I loved the way it worked (as I did my original CHI) and hated to return it. It is just awkward to handle.posted Jun 12, 2010Link to this post

Deff Worth The CostI had my CHI Turbo for a little over three years before it broke. It did a fabulous job with straightening my hair. I loved how it heated up really fast. As the years went by i didn't seem to notice too much of a difference with the temperature changing, it still heated up just as much as when i first bought it. I even dropped it a few times here and there and there was never any problems. The only thing i recommend you don't do is wrap the wire around the straightener itself (when you're done with it, or are packing it up somewhere to go) because that is how mine broke. The wire got loose because of the constant tugging and pressure i would put on it by wrapping the cord around. But overall great investment :)posted May 10, 2010Link to this post -

Try Sedu Or CrocI have bought three Chi flat irons in my lifetime. Every single one of them has died right after a year of use. I will never waste my money on another Chi product. Instead i've bought both a Sedu straightener and was given a Croc. Both work FABULOUS and have left my hair shinier and healthier than the damage the CHI did. Both of those brands have lasted over two years so far, and i'm going to be buying another updated Croc from this site.posted Dec 27, 2009Link to this post -

DisappointedI got my CHI for Christmas 2 years and was really excited about it! I had spent tons of time reading reviews before picking this iron. I loved the results that I got and my hair was always pin straight when I used this iron, but to my dismay, the iron began to short circuit in August so only about 1.5 years after I got it. I know that I used it several times a week, but I expected something of this quality to last longer.posted Nov 15, 2009Link to this post

Chi Vs Sedu Vs SoliaI tried the Solia 1-3/4 tourmaline, Sedu 1-1/2 tourmaline, and the Chi Turbo, and the CHI was not nearly as good. I tried the CHI first and thought it was awesome, but when I used the other two, I quickly changed my opinion. The Solia and Sedu both left my hair much silkier than the CHI is much less time, and the CHI didnt make my hair look as sleek. Between the three I liked the Solia best. It has a higher temp than the other two, so it works a lot faster, and leaves your hair silky in ONE stroke.

So Many ProblemsSome times it gets hot(when at maximum temp.) if the cord is in the perfect possion. But most of the time is does not work. I have had 2 in the past three years and both have broken. Just purchased the Solia flat iron today, hoping it works better.posted Aug 29, 2009Link to this post

Awesome StraightenerOnce my friend used her chi on my hair I wanted one soo bad. I am 1/2 African America 1/2 Puerto Rican and have THICK, curly hair. I came upon this website and with great prices I bought myself this Chi turbo (Mine was not digital) It was the best straightener I have ever bought. I use it everyday. Gets my hair done really fast in about 45 minute to an 1 hour. Always silky smooth. Lasted me a Year and 5 months and is now just statring to die I was pretty angry about that but it's still a great straightener. Would have given it a 5 if it lasted longer. I'm going to try a Solia now which i'm very skeptical about but if i don't like it i'm going back to CHI. I would definitly recommend this product to anyone!posted Aug 20, 2009Link to this post
