Top positive review

Does what it needs to, but has a few kinks!

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2016

I previously owned another FHI top of the line $500 iron. I loved it and it worked fine, but after five years it stopped heating up. I purchased this one, because I wanted an auto shut off which works fine. I rated it four stars for these reasons: #1-every time you plug it in, you have to turn it on and reset your temp, #2-it keeps showing me degrees in celsius not fahrenheit, which has to be reset every time you plug it in :(

Other wise works great, I have very, very tight curly hair and need to use it one the highest setting; still haven't meet a flat iron that straightens my hair with just one pass.

FHI Elite Professional Diamond Digital Flat Iron

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2013

This flat iron required too much hand pressure to clamp the hair. I didn't like that it was digital, because not only did I have to try multiple times to get it to turn on I then had press the + button to continue to raise the temperature. Non digital appliances are much easier to use.

So far, so good

I've only been using this for a week, but so far I'm very happy. I had a Solia straightener for close to 10 years which I loved, but this is better. It heats quickly, sleeps when inactive (great for me as I sometimes forget to turn off and unplug in the rush of the morning), and has been great at smoothing my very thick hair. I also like the carrying case and extra long cord, which has a Velcro attachment so that you can tie up the excess cord if you don't need it to stretch so far or when putting away. I bought this at the recommendation of my hair stylist and as long as it holds up, I think it was a great purchase.

I hate it.

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2015

Too much hand presser to get iron to close on hair. GET READY to have Carpal tunnel syndrome soon with this one! I hate it.. also it went out on me basically the digital sensor has malfunctioned and goes on an off to sleep and back on while in my hand while doing a client! I am returning it ( I brought it directly from FHI) going to see of they will replace it with the Nano Titanium Professional Hair Straightener (1") I don't care if it is a more less expensive iron an I don't get any difference back I cannot afford for this to happen to me again. It is not the quality I am use to from FHI. I had the first limited addition EPS Titanium Professional Hair Straightener (1") used it for years before it went out on me... an it would still work if I could have the cord replaced for that reason alone I won't throw it out... Im keeping hope alive i can fix it I LOVED that iron! This one not so much.

Don't love as much as the first FHI EPS straightener I had. Still works great but the electronic display and the buttons are a little different. Still a great product!

This flat iron is everything I had hoped. I researched thoroughly to select one that would not leave fine, but wavy hair limp and too shiny (like it was oily). I decided to avoid tourmaline, which is hard to do. It has a great range of temperatures and the automatic shut-off was also a requirement for me. It heats up really fast and the digital controls are easy to use. I travel with it regularly and the carrying case is very convenient. But the most important thing is the styling result and I have never had a flat iron that delivers what I need so effortlessly as this one.

Light weight and nice for travel and gym

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

I have very coarse curly hair.
The fiat iron comes in a nice zip up back for transport as well as a heat proof mat to keep it on while using.
I had to use the highest temp setting to get my hair straight
The plates are very light weight which is great for if you are using it for travel or in your purse for touch ups at the gym
I prefer the "heavier" feel and sturdier/heavier plates of my GHD flat iron
