terrible idea

you dont get either product [straigtener or curling iron] that works as well as a single use appliance, and i used to sell these in my salon supply job, and the overwhelming response was 'i burn myself with this'. you cant use this well if youre used to a regular iron....its too awkward. not hot, not evenly heated, cheaply constructed, doesnt last.

Doesn't Work as Well as Single Appliances

I don't really like the straightener or the curler in this tool. The straightener part does straighten, but if you use straighten a lot, your hand will get tired and hurt a bit due to the uncomfortable position. For starters, the barrel's too short, in my opinion, for curling. This curls horribly because the heat's not evenly distributed (the clamp's not as hot as the barrel), so the results don't...read more even deserve to be called a curl! And the "curl" doesn't last more than 5 minutes. Plus, the clamp doesn't clamp your hair in tight so some strands always fall out. The only plus side of this is that you can adjust the heat settings from 1 to 25, and there's a turbo button.

good 2 in 1

This is a good straightener and iron. It works as others,you can control the heat as you need (25 levels + turbo),You can not make a small curls because the iron is big, but makes big beautiful curls.

Not So (HOT)

I have always wanted perfectly straight hair, and finally was able to obtain it, but not with this product. This was one of the hardest contraptions that I have ever tried to use. I burnt myself several times before addibng it to the yardsale items. The price wasn,t bad, but then, you get what you pay for.

A good idea but has its flaws!

I bought this because I needed a straightener... and also liked the idea of getting a free curler too! The curler works great - I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever used but it creates nice thick curls and doesn't take long to heat up. The straightener isn't that easy to use becaus eof the shape - it's a little awkward to straighten hair with the round barrel, and also the barrel heats up all ov...read moreer so it's also sort of dangerous - be careful not to burn yourself! Good for travelling and experimenting with styles though.

Works Great

This works great if you are traveling or need 2 things in one, I love mine and I have very thick hair so my only complaint is that you have to do alot of sections on your hair if you have thick hair, but it still works great to straighten and curl when needed.
