I bought this but they were out of stock and sent the black one instead, but it's the same iron so it should perform the same. I love it! I can tell a big difference between how this one treats my hair compared to my old $30 one. It leaves my hair feeling silky and doesn't catch my hair like my other one did. I love the automatic off feature and it heats up very quickly! I'm going to get another one for my mom as a gift because she loves it too!

I had a Coriollis before and it worked okay. I dropped that one a few too many times and had to replace it. I read many reviews before settling on this one. I ordered this from Overstock on a Thursday and it came on Saturday!! And I LOVE this flat iron. I feel like I should be making an entire infomercial on it. It is AMAZING! It took about an hour to straighten my hair before. I have super thick, course, color treated hair, wavy hair. I would have to take super small sections and go over them three times w/ my old iron and it still didn't get as straight as I liked and it would frizz easily. This iron straightened my hair like I've only seen a salon do and it lasts forever. I use dry shampoo in between washes & don't do it again for three days and its stays perfectly straight! I have the hair I have always wanted and I can straighten my entire head in around 15 minutes, which is a miracle for as much hair as I have. One pass and it's stick straight. It didn't curl as well as I hoped, but I think I just have to practice more with it. I would recommend this a million times over. It is incredible!

I have to say that I have NEVER written a review before,and I purchase a lot online. I felt so strongly about the CROC flat iron that I HAD to write a review. If you are looking for a new flat iron, BUY THIS ONE!!! I have had several CHI irons over the past years and thought they were great. After my stylist used this iron on my hair, I couldn't stop thinking about how great it worked. My CHI finally quit so I bought one with high hopes. I have never had my hair look this good except when walking out of the salon. It is GREAT!!!

I used to have a Chi, and thought it was great. Now that I've gotten the TurboIon Croc, I know that the Chi was okay at best. This heats up quickly, smoothes my hair like a pro, and has nothing to pull on my hair. I really love, it - AND it was less expensive than the other high end ones I looked at.

I have only owned 2 flatirons thus far. The two flatirons owned are this one and a FHI flatiron. The FHI didn't have a temp control and so at 450 degrees it literally fried my hair. After using the FHI my hair was so badly burned that I had to get it cut off. I have grown my hair out in the 3 yrs since that and have been relaxing my hair, and rarely use heat on my hair. But even w/ all these precautions my hair has begun to thin and break in spots, so needless to say I have had 2nd thoughts about continuing w/ chemical treatments. So I began to research which of the 2 is more damaging: chemical relaxers vs. flatirons. It turns out that the relaxers are. Then I began spending countless hours researching all the top flatirons to see which would be least damaging and yet get my fine, African-American hair straight. I narrowed my choices to Maxiglide, Ozon, and the Titantium Croc. After many reported hair breakage w/ the Maxiglide, I decided against it. The Ozon and Croc are very similar. Both are titanium and ceramic. Both also have an infrared feature and temp controls. The only difference between the two was the price. I should mention also that I read more glowing reviews from different sources on the Croc which weighed in its favor. At the price offered on Overstock you couldn't find a better deal. After using it, it immediately make my hair soft, shiny, and very straight. I did use some protective gloss before flatironing. I go to the gym a lot and normally the sweat causes my hair to frizz, well w/ the Croc it has been week (or nearly) and there has been no frizzing. My hair remains as straight as it was immediately after flatironing. The infrared feature seems to be a good thing for the hair.
