I purchased this Chi Flat iron for my college bound daughter and she has not stopped raving about it yet! After going through several cheap versions, we found the chi on Overstock and grabbed it....the price was half the retail price anywhere else. The quality, ease of use is well worth it, as the other reviewers say....it heats up quickly, evenly and works like a dream. You will not be disappointed and again Overstock.com has the best price and service around! Thank you!
