I am by no means a hairstyling guru, but this product is easy and comfortable to use. It is quite large in size, complete with a comfort grip handle, so I don't expect those who travel lightly like I do to be packing it along for excursions. The temperature control is a definite asset, and ranges from 200-400 F. I typically set my iron to 400 F, a temperature reached in about two to three minutes -- no complaints! The tool maintains its heat evenly so that curls are uniform. I haven't encountered any problems with heat damage to my hair, either, although I do not curl my hair more than twice weekly. The one problem I do face when using this CHI curling iron is that the results do not last terribly long -- usually not more than six to eight hours (and consequently not overnight). I have thick, moderately straight hair that falls a few inches below the shoulder. This iron may in fact be better for someone with longer hair. If I were to complete this transaction over again, I would have bought the 1" iron because the large diameter of the 1 1/2" curling iron does not create many ringlets due to the fact that my hair is not very long (i.e. at or below my shoulder blades). I would certainly recommend this product to others, however, because of its ease, heat retention, and (I hope) durability.

This ceramic curling iron is by far one of the best I've ever used, heats up fast and doesn't damage my hair, I would definitely recommend it!

Heats up fast - yes.
Holds a curl - not on your life.

I bought this because my other 1 1/2" curling iron is starting to give up. The clip no longer "clips" which makes it the entire process take longer than it should.

I was willing to spend a bit more on a curling iron for a better quality experience. And this just doesn't deliver. After about an hour, the curl is gone - completely gone. I've performed my own little experiment: one day the old curling iron, the next day the CHI. It's the CHI.

I've used the highest heat setting, held the hair on the barrel until there's even a bit of discomforting smoke. Nothing.

Don't buy this item.
