What customers say about "Key Specs"

FHI Brands PF7000 Tourmaline Ceramic Professional Hair Styling Iron

I love it it gets hot enough and quickly.
This ceramic iron works better than any other iron I have purchased.
My hair doesn't get tangled or caught in the FHI Iron like previously in other ceramic irons.
Works great for Keratin treatments as it heats up to 450 and it allows you to get very close to the scalp.
It takes a long time to heat up.

CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch

I'm a man, and only use it on my bangs sometimes, and it's a really fast process which makes me happy.
It heated quickly and the temperature was perfect.
It heats up in seconds and it gets HOT.
It seems that the 1" Chi gets hotter than the 2" with the temperature setting, and works better for straightening.
The positive aspects of this one is that it does heat up more quickly and maintains it's temperature.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

FHI Brands PF7000 Tourmaline Ceramic Professional Hair Styling Iron

The size is perfect for short hair styles, such as, straighting and tight curls.
I recently chopped of my hair and this flat iron is the perfect size.
I like the size. I like that it comes with a case I can sore it in and I use the case to rest the flat iron on while I am using it so it doesnt burn my counter top.
Love the size, I want it to work but it just doesn't seem to work up to my expectations.
It did take me a little while to adjust to the size - the body is significantly bigger/longer than any small straighteners I've had before.

CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch

Loved that it didn't snag my hair like my old flat iron did at times. Perfect travel size too!
I really appreciate the smaller size as well, since my last straightener was considerably larger and heavier.
The iron is a good size, light with a nice long cord- longer than that of my hairdryer which is helpful.
Worth every cent! Heats up quickly! Compact in size.
It's also a good size to be able to make curls/waves too.

What customers say about "Features"

FHI Brands PF7000 Tourmaline Ceramic Professional Hair Styling Iron

The temperature control is awesome and it has automatic shut off as well.
I like the temperature control and I can get pretty close to the root.
Цonderful iron with regulated heat.
You can control the temperature, the iron doesn't pull on my hair, it comes with a flat iron bag, and great price!
Auto shut off is great to have, I'm always forgetful and leave it on.
After heating up (which is really not too quickly) it apparently cannot maintain the heat level as after a couple of passes through hair, the blinking light appears indicating that it is heating up to the level it is set to.

CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch

The plates actually move so there is no tugging to the hair - i didn't realize how bad it was with my previous flat irons, but with this Chi everything is so smooth.
This iron has ceramic plates so it doesn't damage your hair.
The 1" ceramic plate is nice, because you can use it to make curls or straighten your hair.
The ceramic plates work a miracle on your hair.
Also, the on/off switch is in an awkward position - in between the paddles instead of on the side. It is easy to burn your fingers when you reach in to shut it off.
There is only one temperature setting, so it might not be good for people with delicate hair.

What customers say about "Power"

FHI Brands PF7000 Tourmaline Ceramic Professional Hair Styling Iron

Nice long cord.
I LOVE The swivel cord, heat resistant pack.
They're easy to clean, and the extra long cord swivels at the base, so you don't wind up with a tangled cord.

CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch

I love that it has a long cord and also has a strap to hold the cord once you wrap it up.
The cord is also very long and swivels where it connects to the iron, so it tangles much less frequently. The cord also has a Velcro strap for better storage and easier transportation.
The new swivel cord design avoids any cord frustration, and there is an attached Velcro piece that keeps the cord folded neatly and secure when not in use.
The only thing I dislike is the cord, which is unbearably long.
The cord stiff and cheap and the whole thing like a light plastic toy.
