I really enjoyed my Nano CHI iron while it lasted (RIP 7/06-11/06), it handles well, it's a great straightener, and it's a pretty color. However, I dropped it approximately two feet, onto a carpeted floor, and it stopped working. I purchased the CHI about four months ago and think that a $120 iron should be a bit more resiliant. I'll still purchase CHI products, but wouldn't recommend investing in the Nano Technology just yet...there are a few kinks that still need to be worked out, and it's not worth having to pay an extra $35 to have it repaired.

This is not a real Chi. I was very disappointed when I bought it. I did the research online and sure enough I was sold a fake. It did not do a good job on my hair either.

THE PRICES OF CHI STRAIGHTNERS ARE 149-169.00 IN THE STORES, SO I THOUGHT THIS WAS A DEAL! THE PROBELM IS, THE BOX IS A DIFFERENT SHADE OF BLUE AND THE PRODUCT HAS A DIFFERENT COLOR CHI LOGO ON IT. THEREFORE, I WONDER IF THESE ARE 'KNOCK-OFFS.' TO FIND OUT, I BOUGHT A $$ CHI, AND TRIED IT THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE $$ CHI GOT MUCH HOTTER AND HOLDS THE TEMPERATURE STEADY. I SENT THIS ONE BACK AND GOT MY FULL REFUND. NOW I WONDER ABOUT ANY ELECTRONICS SOLD ON AMAZON, ARE THEY THE REAL THING? I DO LIKE AMAZON AND THEIR SERVICES, BUT I AM ONLY BUYING NON-ELECTRICAL ITEMS FROM NOW ON.

I bought this chi nano in October of 2007, it was amazing at first I absolutely loved it. It's not staying up to it's original performance now (2 years later). It has trouble maintaining heat. For example the red light will blink (indicating it's heated up), after straightening my hair for about 2 minutes it stop blinking and starts reheating again. the straightness doesn't seem to stay as well anymore either. The edges of the iron have slightly burned (Don't know if they can/can't come off, i haven't tried yet). When I first bought it i paid $120 and I feel like a straightener worth $120 should last this shortly. Also, for those who are wondering, I used this iron 3-4 times per week. It took me about 15-20 minutes to do my hair. If you are like me and plan on using this heavily, I would suggest looking for a product that has greater durability. I'm currently looking into buying an Infrashine.

I've had this flat iron for over two years now and it works great. I've used other irons from the Chi line that my friends own, but this one is teh best by far. It heats up quickly and doesn't pull your hair like other flat irons do. I go over my hair a maximum of 2-times and it's super straight. I love this product and highly recommend it.

Farouk will not provide warranty service on a Chi that you purchase online. There normal (in writing) warranty is 1 year from date of purchase.

Since receiving this product, I've loved it! The color is beautiful and the quality of the item is excellent. It works wonderfully just as I had hoped.

i originally had the chi turbo and loved it. I bought this one after a run in with the tub. I have to say i like this one just as much but better because it feels so much lighter

It doesn't have a temperature setting, that's what flash heating or whatever means. It is ok. I used to have a bomb-ass one that was a generic that I liked more, but since I don't live where I used to, I don't have access to it.

I love this thing it is fast and not really that hot (temperture wise). I thought that I wouldn't be able to touch it but I could. I love the size, color and it works of all types of hair.
