CHI Air Classic Tourmaline Ceramic 1" Flat Iron - Onyx Black

I have bought two Chi flat irons and have had the same problems with both. The first one I bought the on and off switch fried and melted so I was unable to use the chi. I had this Chi for about two years. The second one I got it started getting a short in the power cord around the base of the chi. Since it was out of warranty I used the power cord from my broken one and put it on the newer one. This lasted fine for about two years and now the power switch just fried and melted. Both of these are common issues for Chi's according to online search results. Chi's work great but from my experience they don't last very long and with being so pricy that is an important factor. I'm spending a little more money and going with a GHD plus at least GHD's have a 2 year warranty unlike CHI's.

This is my second Chi flatiron -- left the first one behind in a hotel, sigh. The new one has an adjustment for the heat setting, which is very nice.
It heats up quickly, is easy to handle, and does a wonderful job. I love the way you can straighten your hair or curl it. Be sure to watch the online videos for directions.
Infinitely better than the many drugstore cheap ones I've bought over the years.

Bought this Chi for my daughter, great investment. Does a great job, it's good and quick and leaves her hair looking shiny and straight.

I loved my Sedu flat iron but after two years the cord failed. I decided to try the CHI flat iron because I love my 2" barrel CHI curling iron. Unfortunately I absolutely HATE this flat iron. It pulls and doesn't starighten my hair as the Sedu brand did.

This flat iron ruined my hair after a week!! It takes about 45 minutes to straighten, and it tugs on your hair!! It's not worth the money- I suggest you buy the Solia ceramic flat iron instead. It's wayyyy better than this stupid iron!!

Same thing as Phiona. I bought it, always took good care of it, and little after a year of having it, all of a sudden it stopped working. Since it was over a year I contacted Customer Service and they said it was not cover under the warranty. I am very frustrated and disappointed, because it is no a cheap item.

i got this flat iron a week after school started and i though it was great but by new years it stopped working like a first its working then it just shuts off in the middle of doing your hair

I have to be honest, when I ordered this, I was expecting the same Chi straightener that I had previously owned. My previous Chi had broke after 4 years, so I was replacing it with another. I ordered this Chi, thinking it was the same one, and it wasn't. I was really disappointed at first. It didn't have the same cord or on/off buttons, etc. It was also extremely lighter than my previous Chi. However, I started using it and loved it. It does a better job than my first Chi! I am sold! I just hope this one can last the 4 years my previous one did :)

Bought this for a Christmas present. She loves it!! Fast shipping!

My girls and I love this straightner. We had our CHI for 2 and 1/2 years. You may say that is not long. However, we used it almost everyday and on somedays all three heads of hair. I tried the hersyler and it lasted two weeks (No joke). I knew the CHI wasn't going to last much longer. There was no way it could after all the times it has been dropped, thrown, and stepped on. I highly recommend this product.
