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.

Bought this as a spare to keep in my office - didn't want to carry my original Chi iron back and forth on workout days. This one is even better than the original (red) one. It's tight, heats up quickly, and has a digital temp setting. I ended up taking my original to the office and keeping this one at home! Love it!

I had this curling iron 1 month and it already stopped working. You would think that when you pay $100 for a curling iron that it would work a little longer than that. Terrible!!

Be careful of purchasing this product from Omni. The manufacturer's warranty is not valid and they only guarantee it for 30 days. Mine only worked for a few months and then died and I have no recourse.

Bought this Iron last year for my wife's birthday and 10 months later it stopped working. When it did work she absolutely loved it and now wants another one. I don't know what the life span of an Iron is, but I would think more than 10 months??

I am very happy with this curly iron. I don't have to blow dry my hair anymore. The 1 1/2 size is great for creating perfect waves. I love it !!

I absolutely love this curling iron. However, it only lasted me close to four months. I'm only disappointed about this because of the price of the curling iron. I just ordered me another one. I'm curious to see how long this one will last me. I'll gladly change my review to 5 stars if the life span is longer on this one.

Wife can't stop raving about it. I have to get her the smaller one now too.
