i had this straightener for a year and yes after one year the one plate stopped getting hot. however, it was the best straightener in the entire world. i have extremely thick hair and it made it amazingly soft and straight and not dead at all. the blow dryer did most the damage to my hair, not the straightener. I had a straightener before this one that lasted 3 years however, it did nothing i wanted it to do. Id rather spend 50 bucks every year for this straightener then spend 150 on one that last 3 years and doesn't do what I want. So i highly recommend it if you have extremely thick hair and have yet to find something that can straighten it the right and fast way.
great

I am so surprised to see how many people hate this product... Hot tools is the only one that straightens my hair i mean really... others ive tried from friends and stuff just flatten my frizz. this one actually makes my hair soooooo shiny and so straight even in the rain! i used a chi and my hair went poofy in the rain. now my hair isn't so coarse or too thick but its definately difficult to work with i don' trust any other straightener than the hot tools ceramic. my friends love it too. it definately gets the job done. as for split ends. ladies come on! youre going to get damage no matter what you do! unless you leave your hair natural its going to get damaged no matter what the product claims it can provide. i let my hair airdry and put as little heat as possible! but hot tools is the product for me. and i wouldn't trade it for anything unless a straightener could change the genetic makeup of my hair! the only thing is make sure if youre going abroad anywhere that you get a voltage converter and know how to use it. i blew mine out cause too much electricity went into and now im oober pissed. :( but i love my hot tools ceramic!!! :)
WOW! best!

(I actually bought a Hot tools 2 inch ceremic, model no. 1189, but I expect theyre not much different at all) Okay, so my old straightener (babyliss PRO) had JUST broke this morning, so, I went to TJMaXx and looked through a few different selections (rusk, Hot tools, and BarBar)... I chose this one because it looked most professional and you can beat the price! I just got out of the shower, and as soon as my hair dryed, I plugged in my new straightener: It heated up to the highest setting in about a minute, and all together took me TEN minutes to straigten my hair which is halfway down my back and extremely thick and fluffy, when I was done I had to come write a review because I just LOVE this straightener! Its better then the CHI ($150), in my opinion, its so fast and smooth! I'm dissapointed that it has such a low rating... oh well.. all I can say is buy it! Especially if you have thick/coarse/curly hair. great brand... good investment. (: so glad I took the chance on this one!
Really? I loved mine.

I was pricing this flat iron for my lost baggage claim and was surprised to see it was rated so low. I loved mine and am really sad that it's been lost somewhere in the Philadelphia airport. I bought it about three years ago and it still worked just fine. Heats up high (I need a really high temperature) and fairly quickly. I will be replacing it promptly with the same model. It actually lasted longer than a Wigo iron I once bought.
BEST EVER<33

I've had mine for about a year and I still love it. It gets hot quickly and irons very well. I had the older model but upgraded when my stylist told me the ceramic was better for my hair.
Hm...?

I think it seems strange that all these 1-star reviews say the same exact thing. I think this product works very well...

This straightener works so well! I used to have a Conair and it took one hour to warm up and 2 hours to straighten my thick medium length hair. Finally, I decided to buy this straightener, and it works marvelously. It only took 10 seconds to heat up pn the highest heat setting. I straightened my hair within 10 minutes. I suggest you buy this straightener if you want perfectly straight hair.
