Does the job!

(4 out of 5) by Cici on Jan

I've experimented with most of the different heads on this thing and it's been good. I haven't burned anything yet..
Pros:
-Warming up is pretty fast. I give it about a minute.
-Curling/Waving/Crimping comes out beautifully!
-Heat is fairly good. Doesn't leave even the tiniest amount of hair fried.
-6-Foot cord is a DREAM.
-The stands on the iron heads makes easy to just put it anywhere without fear of it burning something.
Cons:
-You get what you pay for. It looks really cheap. The metal-looking thing on the actual iron is just metallic foil.
-No heat settings. There's only an "On/Off."
-Changing heads while in use is pretty difficult. You got to try and yank it out without burning your fingers. However, there is a plastic area on top that you can hold onto.
-"Red Indicator" is just a lil red dot on mine. It doesn't light up/glow/anything!
Conclusion:
For the price, this thing is amazing. Highly recommended.

Depending on your use...

(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on May

I bought this product primarily for straightening my hair (my hair is naturally just slightly wavy). I found that it did this very poorly. In fact, I purchased a new straightener within a week of this one. However, my friend bought the same item and used it for curling, waving, and some crimping. It does a good job of this, especially given the price. Overall, definitely a good product for the price, however, if your main use is going to be straightening I would recommend searching for a new product (I have found that a ceramic straightener by Ceramix has been a terrific investment).

good product for the $

I had the old model in the 1990's this one is just as great. You save a lot of money and room not buying the different products seperately.
not heat fast

I love the color and the removable parts but they can be hard to take off and fit on at times. Its also not heating up fast enough for me, i usually have a few minutes to get out so i cant wait for it to heat up and style.
This Product is ok

I used this product and it works ok. It just take a really long time to heat up so it takes an even longer time to do my hair. I've only used the crimper, I haven't used the other accessories with it, but I'm guessing it would be about the same thing. Overall, it's an okay product.
