Conair The Cordless Collection ~ 5/8-inch Curling Iron with Travel Case

Many years ago I had a couple Conair butane curling irons. I loved them! Used them regularly.Currently on a road trip and left my usual iron at home. Instead of going to Target and buying another cheap curling iron, I decided to find something cordless, that I could leave in my car to use strictly for traveling.I received this yesterday while at my son's house. I opened it and, though it is quite a bit smaller than the previous Conairs I had, it had a case and I thought it would be great for traveling! I turned it on and it started right away, and I used it.....once. This morning I have been trying and trying to light it, start it, and it just does not respond. Then I started writing this one star negative review. While it was being processed by Amazon, I figured out that there is an "on" switch and a "start" switch. It started yesterday when I turned it on, which I guess it wasn't supposed to. When I found the "start" switch, it came on and I am really happy!I'm glad I found the problem was me before it was posted!This will work well for me I'm sure!!!!!

Right out of the box, with the butane cartridge installed, the igniter clicks and the butane flows but it won't heat up. Worthless!But that's not the most frustrating part. Try to initiate a return for replacement and you're stuck in a loop where you can troubleshoot on your own or contact Conair customer support. Troubleshoot on your own takes you to instructions for troubleshooting plug in and battery powered curlers. No help at all. If you elect to go to Conair's website, you find that you can't return it without a Conair order number. You can elect to call the Conair customer support number and wait an hour plus for help or not. I chose to not waste my time.There is never an Amazon fix offered for this product. There is no way to elect to have Amazon replace the unit or refund your money. The only Amazon solution offered on the return page is to "Continue shopping". I've never run into this situation on Amazon before and I've already wasted too much of my time on this $20 item!

Loving this brand and type of Curling iron. Going to the gym, its compact and fits in my locker without a problem. The Cell batteries are affordable and easy to store as well. Plus if I need it for a trip, Bang... Zoom, I have it all compact and ready to go. No down side, except, people at the gym, have eyed it and I hope I never forget to put it in my locker, It will be gone.

I love this little curling iron, it’s a flash back to the past for me. (1970’s). It performs well and it curled my hair perfectly. I really like this. But be warned. It doesn’t work at high altitudes. I took it on a camping trip and I could not get it to work. But other than that, I like it

A great little cordless curler! Easy & convenient to pack for trips or get aways. Easy to use. I would highly recommend!

I love my con air curling iron Thank you.

If I could I would give a zero but there’s no option for that. The curler did not work at all. It was a waste of money. You can hear the hiss sound but it does not get hot at all, plus you cannot return this item.

Not great.
