Customer Reviews

As Good As Professional Irons
I recently purchased this after my Hot Tools straigthening iron stopped performing as well as it used to. I had owned that one for nearly ten years, though, so it served me well. I was ready to invest in an expensive straightening iron similar to what stylists use at salons, but after comparing prices and reading reviews for numerous products, I opted for the more affordable Andis.

I have thick, wavy hair and was unsure if a less expensive iron like this one would do a good job of taming my waves. All my doubts were put to rest after using the iron. I originally set it at a medium heat setting, which straightened my hair perfectly. But ever since, I've been using a low setting which surprisingly still works on my unruly hair.

Pros:
* Heats quickly
* Various heat settings to suit many types of hair
* Power switch is strategically placed to avoid accidental turn-off
* Has locking mechanism so you can secure the plates for travel

Cons:
* The silver finish looks kind of cheap

Overall, a fine product at an affordable price that does what it's supposed to do. As another reviewer noted, the product doesn't have the appearance of being made well (which is solely why I give it four stars instead of five). But with proper maintenance, I don't see why this flat iron shouldn't last a long time.

Works great, not sure how long it will last
This flat iron leaves my hair smooth & nice very comparably so to the very expensive iron it is replacing. It performs wayyyyyy better than the cheap irons I have had in the past not even in the same league. My only concern is that it doesn't seem to be built in a way that will last for a long time...but, my expensive one burnt out in under a year so, considering that it is well worth the money. You can have a couple on hand & still spend less if they last a year or longer. I say give it a try.

Nice Iron
I bought this for my 17yo daughter and she is very pleased. She has used it every morning for the past two weeks and has not had one complaint about it.
It tends to get a little hotter than her old iron, but that is a bonus in her mind ;) She seems to think that the straightening process goes faster with this one that her old iron.

The plates are nicely coated, very smooth on the hair and seem like they will last a long time.
I was prepared to spend well over the cost of this iron, but we thought we could give this one a try before we made another huge investment in a different brand.
We both think this iron is an excellent value. In fact, this was such a great deal that I went ahead and bought her the one inch version of this same iron just for her bangs.

:: UPDATE :: 11/08 -- My daughter is still using this iron every day as well as the one inch version of the same iron. She has not experienced any peeling or any problems. I would buy this iron again. It has been a great value for us.
