 A Great Product, If Used Properly August 4, 2009

I ordered the CHI Turbo 1-inch flat iron two days ago, and have used it twice. It gets the job done, if used properly. I sprayed the CHI 44 Iron Guard on my hair to protect it from the heat - and I used the flat iron immediately on the wet hair. Results weren't good, as my hair smelled burnt all day. The second day, I sprayed the CHI 44 Iron Guard all over my hair, then made sure my hair was thoroughly dried before trying to use the CHI. The results were great, no burnt smell. I have straight hair, but it poofs during the summer because of the heat. The CHI gets rid of the poofing! You can also curl your hair with the CHI (instructional videos are on YouTube). It takes a bit of time to learn, but I got great results. I've read reviews claiming that the CHI breaks within a year or so - I hope mine lasts! The digital readout is terrific, as the exact temperature is displayed clearly.

My wife is happy so I am happy. So far we have no complaints about the product, other than the GFI plug doesn't allow her to have her hairdryer (also GFI) and this flat iron plugged into the 2 plug outlet at the same time. I don't understand women's hair regimens, but apparently that might be a detriment to some. Good value for the pricetag though.

My daughter and I have both owned several cheap $20 to $30 straightening irons and they have always died after about a year or so. When her last one died in December, I decided to try a more expensive one hoping it would last longer. I purchased one very similar to this for her. I had never been dissatisfied with the performance of the cheaper irons until I borrowed her CHI iron one day. What a difference! Being the frugal person that I am, however, I couldn't justify buying one for myself because mine still worked.
Mine died a couple months ago, but my frugality kicked in again, and I thought I would try another cheaper iron. I got one that claimed to have the same features as this one and came with a two year warranty. It worked ok, but while traveling out of town a few weeks later, I again used my daughter's CHI iron. Again I was amazed at the difference in performance.
The clincher was an interview with the owner of this company on CNN. Apparently, he is a naturalized U.S. citizen and has made the decision to keep all of his company's manufacturing in the United States. How could I not support such a commitment to our economy? In the end, I got a better product, I got to support a great company, and I got to support the U.S. economy. What a bargain!!

I've had the chi ultra before, but not the digital one. My original Chi stopped working after a couple of years and I loved it so much that I had to buy another. I loved this one even more - I have very thick wavy hair that can be out of control most of the time, but with this it become slick, shiny and straight! The price was unbeatable. I would definitely purchase this again and recommend it to who ever is even thinking about it.
Best iron out there! November 18, 2009

This iron is great. It is wide enough to speed up the process and it heats in moments. I love it. I had been using a smaller, older Chi and decide to upgrade to the digital when my old one was no longer getting the job done. I can do my hair very quickly and it looks as smooth as silk. Save time and effort with this great CHI!
