    Beautiful, Salon-like Results At Home!
    I have used the Sedu for years and love it but often felt my hair looked flat. This iron makes my hair look, shiny, healthy and full of body. I never use it above 410 degrees so can't speak for frying my hair. I've been able to flat iron a full head of thick, curly (3B), long hair in 45 minutes or less with beautiful results every time. The plates on the top provide for a nice curl/flip at the end of my hair - I get so many compliments! Haven't been to the salon since!

    No Problems At All!
    Ive had this product for 4 years now. Its still like new. Most irons start chipping, but I think this is the real thing. The plates are like new. It heats up in seconds and the temperature control is awesome! My hair is smooth and straight in minutes and not damaged.

    Good But Not Worth It -- Very Breakable
    I bought this straightener after using numerous Chis in the past. I have thickish, wavy, frizzy hair thats not too hard to straighten, but I didnt want to damage it so I bought this one. It worked relaly well! Heated up quickly, did the job -- I could straighten my hair in 5-10 minutes! Problem was that I dropped it ONCE and the thing broke! Part of the plastic casing broke off so one of the irons was coming out. It still worked but obviously split my hair etc. (I had had it for 2 months) I finally went to go get it replaced with the 10-year warranty and THEY WOULDNT COVER IT. Ive talked to a numerous people who have had this iron and theyve had the same problem! Whether or not you take good care of the product, accidents do happen and straighteners genearlly will fall off a counter every once and awhile. (I dropped my Chis far more often and they usually lasted me a little over a year, which was far better value). I have emailed Metropolis to complain and they wont respond so basically, if you foresee ANY seemingly little accidents with your hair straightener, dont buy it. Its not worth 250 for a few months of use.

    Garbage
    This iron is way too sensitive for my liking and even while taking really good care of it, it has broken on me three times. It does a decent job of straightening my hair though its definitely not worth the money especially with all the hassle its put me through. Im very disappointed in this product and the fact that I bought a piece of garbage.

    Worst Iron! Completely Ruined My Hair!
    I used this iron for about 3 months. For the first month it was amazing and completely smooth and then by the second month my hair was getting brittle and dry. It was like I was using a metal pannel hot tools iron only paying like $200 more for it. Anyhow, to make a long story short it destroyed my hair and took about 6 months to get it healthy again. I have a HAI now and its the best Ive ever had. Save yourself time and money, do not buy this.I dont know about the others but this is a bad purchase.
