Review on πŸ’‡ Conair Xtreme Instant Heat Ceramic Hot Rollers: Multi-Size, 20 Count by Benigno Reddy

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Cool to the touch, heats up quickly but has a few issues (including photos)

I've loved Conair products for years and generally prefer them to other brands. While this is a very good product, I feel there are a few things that could be improved which resulted in 4 stars (out of 5). Good: The reels feel COOL (Cheers); I use more than medium size; heats up VERY quickly, the clips are very easy to use - unlike the old wire clips I use more medium sized curlers (see attached photos - the curler sizes are actually slightly smaller than their old curlers). My hair seems to get more lift from these curlers - and the curl lasts a long time (even in a humid environment). Room for improvement: clips are plastic - and the instructions say to let them heat up (on the right side of the device on a hot piece of metal) - we all know what happens to plastic when exposed to heat - I don't think they'll last long (and will likely require me to buy more); Only 3 clips fit in the device at a time - it's inconvenient to insert another after I've used one and then have it heat up before use - not very efficient. I personally haven't noticed any difference between using heated and unheated clamps. But why waste space in the case with only 3 clamps? NO ON/OFF SWITCH - YES, the "switch" is a "plug" - just unplug it from the wall. I find it a little cheap (not made in the US for American customers?). Back to the clips - where I keep them all - there's no room in the suitcase and they didn't give me a bag. Luckily I had one of my own to use for everyday use and to keep the rest (see attached picture) in case they start breaking. They should have included some sort of storage container (other than the plastic packing bag). So I'll leave them, but I also hope that Conair actually sees customer feedback so improvements can be made.
