Comment: This is now my favorite Curling Brush. I will order another but maybe smaller than the 1" if available.

Summary: Functional but not made to last 2010-08-18
Comment: Like several other reviewers, I have been frustrated at the difficulty in finding curling brushes in the stores these days, and I took a chance on ordering this one after reading the mixed reviews on it. For its price, it does the job, but compared to the curling brushes that I used in the 1980s, this one leaves a lot to be desired. Its plastic bristles and on/off switch are both pretty flimsy, and I'll be surprised if this one is still functional two years from now. (Note that the Conair 1/2-inch curling brush I purchased in 1988 still works perfectly and has no broken parts.) The tip is way too short, and I constantly burn my fingers trying to grab the tip, just like several other reviewers reported. It also takes a good five minutes to get hot.
In summary, for $16, this isn't a bad deal and it will probably last for a couple of years. It's just much more cheaply made than the curling brushes that were so widely available at places like Wal-Mart 20 years ago.

Summary: Not worth buying 2010-07-28
Comment: This is a terrible product. There is no way to hold this and curl your hair without burning your fingers. I have even tried gloves but still too hot and too akward. Do not purchase this product. It is terrible.

Comment: Exactly what I have been searching in stores for. This brush heats quickly and does it's job well. I will be ordering a second one for my vacation home.

Comment: Pros:
Heats up quickly
Cons:
The switch is flimsy and it is easy to turn off by accident when curling hair
The tip is pretty small so it's easy to get burned
Hair gets caught between the metal part and the handle
