I was suspect of the need for "ceramic ions" and "far infrared technology", but this iron was highly recommended by salon personnel, so I decided to dish out the money and try it. You don't need to believe the hype to realize that this is a top quality product. This was a case of "you get what you pay for"! It is lightweight and ergonomic, heats up almost immediately, has a slider bar for varying heat from 176-356F (80-180C), and velvety felt that protects you from burns (also allows me to get closer to my ears and scalp without getting burned). The latter feature is worth the money to me alone, and the the ceramic feels much gentler to my hair (I have baby fine hair very prone to breakage). Two other things to keep in mind when choosing a straightener:1) size matters - smaller size is better - it's more maneuverable, and doing smaller sections at a time will produce better results.2) not all ceramic is created equal - there are solid ceramic plates or plates COATED with ceramic that are cheaper. the ceramic layer on the coated plates can peel off and is supposedly damaging to your hair (not to mention your product is ruined).so yes, this iron is more expensive, but hopefully it will last for years of top-notch straightening.(Note: The box says 0.07", but the iron is actually 0.7" [=7/10 of an inch])

At the time of this writing it is selling for $115 and ships free with Super Saver shipping. The box says 0.07", but the iron is actually 0.7" [=7/10 of an inch])

I've been using the chi flat iron regularly ever since I bought it a month ago and it works fabulously! It heats up right away and makes my curly hair super smooth instantly. The size of the mini turbo is easy to use and very light to handle. You can also use it to get spiral curls (i suggest you ask a friend because it's difficult to do a proper job at the back). I think it does a fantastic job and I highly recommend it to everyone! BTW, my hair is 3 inches below my shoulders, thick and coarse...if this iron does a great job for me, it'll work for anyone.
