Conair 2" Ceramic Instant Heat Straightener

Bottom Line

The Conair 2" Ceramic Instant Heat Straightener is a low-priced model that offers the luxury of ceramic-coated plates. The wide plates are great for long hair, but some users aren't satisfied with the results. Some owners also note that the flat iron doesn't last very long.

Performance

Mixed feelings on the iron's effectiveness. Reviews of the Conair Instant Heat's performance are divided. Some owners say the iron works well, and others say it doesn't work at all or is mediocre. It does have extra wide plates -- great for long hair -- an automatic shut-off feature and adjustable temperature settings. Some users say this iron breaks easily, but it's covered by a two-year warranty.

Safety

Dual voltage is a potential safety hazard. While this iron says it's a dual-voltage model, multiple Amazon.com users say the iron malfunctioned on European voltages. This could be a potential safety hazard. The Conair 2" Ceramic Instant Heat also snags many users' hair and pulls it out. However, it offers an automatic shut-off feature.
