Customer Reviews

Great buy
I bought this to take with me on my trip to Europe. I really hate hassling with transformers (they rarely fit well, Euro and UK plugs are recessed) and I didn't want to fry my $$$ 110 voltage curling iron, so this fit the bill. They are hardly any ceramic dual voltage curling irons with a variety of sizes to choose from. I think I could only find Babyliss and Ceramic tools. Besides the decent reviews and reasonable price, I ultimately choose this one because of the long barrel. I have long hair and need the room to work my hair.

Ceramic curling iron is gentle on your hair!
The ceramic curling is much more gentle on your hair than the stainless steel ones. The barrel heats very quickly and releases the curled hair perfectly. The cord length is great - not like the stingy length cords found on curling irons found at CVS, Kmart, Walmart, etc. The only negative is the temperature dial. The numbers are very small so I must put my glasses on to see them. My fingers sometimes bump the dial and accidently turn it to a lower temperature.

Pros: Gets Hot Quick. Cons: Not very durable.
This product is leaps and bounds above it's other price-range curling irons - it gets very hot relatively quickly and is pretty easy to use.

Unfortunately you do get what you pay for (and I was ripped off paying $45 at the beauty store for it.) After about 2 days of use, there was a short in the rotating cord and if the iron is held at an odd angle, it turned off. It was still usable, but I had to modify the way I curled my hair to avoid it turning off and losing heat. After about 6 months, you can see the ceramic coating chipping off a little - and I used the iron about 3-4x per month.

If you're in the market for a cheap curling iron - I would suggest this because compared to the Revlon, Remington and Conair brands I've had in the past, this is the closest to a high end curling iron among them - most likely you will have better luck with your iron than I did.
