I was disappointed with this model. I used my friend's wet TO dry and it was fantastic. I ordered the wet OR dry because of the decrease in price from $200 to $129. But I should have known better (there's a reason for the decrease in price) It does not work as well as the wet to dry - at all. It snagged my hair and didn't eliminate frizz - Any $20 flat iron would work just the same. However, I did exchange it for the medium Duality model and the difference is amazing. Much better!!

Do not buy this iron. It's fabulous while it works, for which it does merit the one star. But it broke in less than a week. It overheated, or something, and then wouldn't turn on again. But here's the kicker: if you buy it from Amazon, the company won't honor the warranty.

I don't have particularly heavy-duty hair. This is just totally unacceptable.

I love this straightener! What a treat to have your hair straightened and dried in one step. I've been using a straightener for over 20 years and this one is so far superior to every other one I've ever had. It works on wet hair, tranforming it from wet to dry and curly to straight. It gets my hair straighter than any other iron and it leaves my course dry hair feeling softer than ever.I bought one for myself then bought one for my daughter. I have very thick, course, curly hair; my daughter has thin, fine, curly hair. It is exceptional on both. We both love it and couldn't live without it now. No problems at all with it. My daughter and I both have had one for almost a year and we've never had a problem.

However, after using for 10 minutes it automatically shuts off and would not come back on. Straightened and dried my hair beautiful but spend the extra money at Sephora because everyone is getting bad irons from Amazon. It is really sad that no one can get one that is worth what you pay. So if you have had good luck with one so far, be glad because I paid for the 2 day shipping couldn't wait, and have GREAT disappointment because now I have to return it!

I have very thick, very coarse, wavy hair. When my two year old CHI straightening iron broke, I needed to replace it quickly! Locally the only iron I could find was the T3 Tourmaline iron, so I thought I'd give it a try. It cost more than the CHI, was sold at a fancy salon, and could even be used on damp hair. Surely it would be a good replacement.

Unfortunately, it failed to impress.

-It did not leave my hair silky smooth. While my hair was certainly straighter, it still looked coarse. (This was on the hottest setting and with several passes over the hair)

-Because my hair is so thick, an iron needs to reduce the volume. The T3 failed in this respect, too.

-I thought I would like the larger (almost 2") iron surface. The T3 has a perfectly flat surface, which made it impossible to get a flip or curl on the ends.

Needless to say, I returned it quickly to the pricey salon and will be getting another CHI! Perhaps this brand would work better for someone with fine hair, since the temperature can be adjusted.

I recently bought this flatiron, despite some of the negative reviews here. I've been using it for two weeks (probably 7 or 8 times total). And I love it! It works great, and has cut my styling time in half. In the interests of full disclosure, I have thick, wavy, shoulder length hair. I dry my hair 80% of the way before I use the iron, but don't even try to straighten it while blow drying my hair. And it is so much better than using my hair dryer every day. I haven't experienced any of the problems the other reviewers have mentioned.

I am about to return my third wet/dry iron! First one didn't work to start with. Second worked for a couple of months and got less hot as time went on - also kept turning itself off until it spent more time off than on. I got a third one a couple of days ago and during the first use last night - surprise - it stopped after 5 minutes and does not work at all now!

It's going back for good to Sephora (thanks to them for being so helpful) I'm changing brands. I only used it on dry hair too - the one time I used it on wet hair, it steamed a lot and promptly turned itself off! $200 does not buy reliability even if it was good on the infrequent times it did work.

I do have the T3 hairdrier - that at least seems to be problem free.

I have nothing positive to say about this iron. 1. My hair got caught a few times between the plates. 2. My hair isn't that wavy, should be easy to straighten, however it took me about half an hour with dry hair to get it a bit straight @ 250 degrees. I tried my friend's CHI and it did a much better job.

This product eliminated one step. However, the one step took as long to do as two steps.

I was on the fence about spending the money on this iron and I am glad I did. I still dry my hair almost all the way but I don't have to worry about styling with a brush. The iron might add a minimal amount of time to getting ready but my hair has never looked better. My hair is wavy and I have driven my friends and family crazy over the years complaining about how hard it is to style. I have used curling irons and flat irons to straighten my hair -spent more time for ok results. With this product I love my hair. It looks straight but still has body -like I paid a professional to do my hair. Your hair can get caught between the plates if you are too quick/careless but I think any iron will do that.
