Conair TC605BC ThermaCell Cordless Curling Iron, 0.6 Pound

I bought this product on a whim. Made in Thailand, this little iron takes about a minute to heat up and is just as good (if not better cuz of no cords!) than any other curling iron out there in a similar price range. I thought the butane cartrige was genius and they are cheap! It also comes in a cute case to carry it with that measures about 2" by 7" (appx) so you can fit it anywhere!

I highly recommend this product.

I was looking for a compact hair curler to take on short trips and camping when I was just carrying everything in a tote bag. I wasn't necessarily looking for a cordless one, but when I came across this one, I thought I'd give it a try. It's super!

I have straight, hard to curl hair and this curling iron warmed up as quickly and did just as good a job as my electric one does and just as quickly. I've only used it a couple of times and it doesn't seem to use the butane cartridge up too quickly, but I have short hair and only curl about 8 sections on the crown of my head, so I don't have it on too long. If you had longer hair and spent a long time with the iron on, you might use up the cartridges quickly. Refill cartridges are about $3 each.

This would be a great solution for an overseas trip where you didn't want to fool around with converters. You are permitted to take the unit with one cartridge only on an airplane. I would think the one cartridge should...Read more

Before my last vacation I contacted the airline to check their rules about taking this along. They said if I put it in my checked bag and declared it upon check-in, it was OK. I followed their rules (no one at the airline counter had heard of them), and was sent to the baggage department where supposedly a TSA representative (behind locked doors) said all was OK. When I arrived at my destination, I found the curling iron had been confiscated and a note left in my bag saying I had violated TSA regulations. Six weeks later I received a letter from the TSA saying the same thing. Didn't seem to care that the airline steered me wrong!
