Farouk CHI Original Ionic Ceramic 1-inch Flat Iron (Refurbished)

I ordered it for my daughter for Christmas last year. It arrived on time. The problem was since it was refurbished, it only had a limited warranty. I used most of that warranty time up with the present being hidden in my closet and then wrapped under the tree. When it was finally opened and used, the handle did not work right and constantly kept coming apart. I called to get it replaced, but since the warranty was out, Overstock gave me the number for business to call ......BIG Pain....They told me to box it and return it to them. I did. After 4 months, I never heard anything. Finally called the business again but they said they never received it. By this time, I had misplaced the post office slip. Needless to say, I never got my money back and I don't even have the hot iron. This was the biggest waste. Lost almost dollars, and no one really seemed to care. I will NEVER buy a refurbished item from Overstock again. Everything else I have purchased as been great. I was hoping Overstock might be a little more sympathetic, since I have purchased numerous items and spent mega dollars with them. It didn't happen...lol

This may not be a flashy as the newer CHI irons but it works just as well. I have very fine hair and it literally takes a few minutes to straighten my hair after I have thoroughly dried it. The only draw back to this iron is that it only has one temperature setting...either it is on or off. People with fine hair should be very cautious to go through their hair relatively quickly and with only one swipe so that they don't damage thier hair with the heat. Because of the ceramic, this iron lasts, it also distributes the heat evenly all the way down the hair shaft. My daughter has had this same iron for over 6 years, still in great condition, so I finally purchased another for me for Christmas, tired of the cheaper models I replace each year with the finish half worn off.

CHI has a very good reputation and this Original 1-inch Ceramic Ionic flat iron lives up to that name. This product heats up very quickly and my hair holds the curl, or should I say the lack of curl, all day long. In fact, I only have to touch up the next couple of mornings to look just as nice. This is a durable product and I like the rotating cord as it never gets tangled up.

I'm African American hair, and my hair is relaxed, but i'm growing it out so part of my hair is really thick and kinky. This flat iron makes my hair, which is extremely think and poofy, flat, smooth and have natural shine. Its not too hot either, because of the way the iron is made, the harder you squeeze the more heat you will be using, so the heat setting is not a problem. I would definitely recommended this to anyone who is looking for a good priced quality iron.

I had tried various CHI products before and always have had good opinions about them. This iron is definitely a great product. I have very thick and wavy hair and with this iron it takes me 30 min maximum to straighten my hair after using the hairdryer. I love the price too because I would never spend over *** on a hair styling product since I don't use it every day. So overall, great product at a great price. My hair feels silky after I iron it with this CHI. I recommend.

I really like it. I have curly, frizzy, unmanageable hair that normally takes me anywhere between 15-30 minutes to straighten depending on how much I dry my hair. After I used my CHI straightener, which is a refurbed model, I was so impressed. It took me less then 10 minutes. My hair is down past my shoulders almost to my elbows. I am in love with it. I would recommend this item to anyone who wants a great quality for less then $**. Don't hesitate you might regret it, I put it off for months and I finally did it and I am so glad I did. It was very worth it especially for the price. My hair looks so clean and much healthier and my hair normally gets to the length it's at and my ends look dead and it looks so horrible. But with this straightener, it's made a huge difference in my hair and it's volume. Get it! :)

I have used CHI products for the past 10 years. The CHI 1 inch ceramic flat iron I purchased from Overstock.com is not satisfactory for the price I paid. The plate only connects at the very tip of the unit, it pulls my hair and does not straighten hair correctly.

I've been using the refurbished unit for a while and really like it, especially because i know just how much I saved. I've used CHI for years and can't tell the difference between the new and my refurbished. would recommend to anyone.

This CHI flat Iron was same as new condition and the price was phenomenal! The flat iron works really great. It straightened my hair quickly and my hair looked as great as if it had be styled at the hair salon. I am very pleased with my purchase and with Overstock.com!!!

I purchased the refurbished CHI and it looks and works like a brand new model. I have only had it a few weeks so will update at a later date if any problems arise. So far, I am very happy with the product and especially happy with the price.

Good buy. Get's my thick and wavy hair strait without causing undue damage. Great product.

My refurbished CHI iron was Dead On Arrival, meaning it wouldn't power up the first time I plugged it in. Promptly returned it and ordered a new CHI from o.co - the "Save Our Earth" model - which was only a few dollars more than the refurbished black iron. It has arrived and works as advertised, plus it's a beautiful earthy blue-green finish and comes with a sample of Organic Chi Silk Oil. Not sure why I didn't order this one the first time?

Wish it had the option to change the temperature but other than that Great quality!

I have a chi that is years old and I love it to no end. I tried a refurbished model to save money when replacing my old one. The refurbished one failed not once but twice. First one stop working in a month and the replacement failed in 3 months. Thank goodness I bought the extended warranty (which was great to deal with). It also felt cheap compared to my old one. I still recommend a chi but pay the extra and get a new one... If you do try this...GET THE WARRANTY!

This was my first time buying a refurbished chi. I read a few reviews where people had been unhappy with the product, but overall it seemed good. It's also nice that the price was half of a new chi! This product is NOT a bargain, as mine stopped working after 4 months. I've had chis in the past last for 2+ years. If you are will to take a gamble on this flat iron, make sure you buy the warranty!

Given the opportunity, I'm sold on going with refurbished every time from now on. My guess is that these irons get more attention when refurbished than when they come off the assembly line the first time. Iron works perfectly, is tight, unscratched, undamaged, and after using O Club points, I paid almost nothing for it. Do not be afraid. This is a great deal for a great product. When you can buy higher quality for less, why would you settle? Love it.

Did not last, and neither did my replacement. Do not recommend.

Works good. No complaints so far.

Works as it should. So glad to have a working Chi again! Gets very hot very fast and works faster than any other brand straightening iron I've owned.

Great straightener and great price

Considered getting an old one replace (bad cord) and it was less expensive to buy a refurb here. So far, so good!

This iron is good. Just not the best one on the market. It is ceramic so it is suppose to be better for hair health.

Works perfectly!! No issues at all with it being refurbished!

Bought is for my daughter. She loves it! Can’t even tell it was refurbished. Still working great after 2 years.

Worked perfectly, refurbished didn’t even cross my mind - it was like brand new! Love Chi brand!
