It is quite heavy, but the worst thing that it doesn't glide smoothly, but sort of pulls the hair. Very disappointed and had to return.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Lona, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to see that you didn't have a better experience with your Dyson Corrale™ styler. With regard to the weight of the machine, Corrale was engineered to provide balance in the hand. It helps to give you maximum control with the ease of use of a cord-free device. One thing we love about the Corrale is that it's the only straightener with flexing plates, that shape and gather your hair, to enable enhanced styling. This means you can achieve the same style but with half the damage, reduced frizz and fewer flyaways. Since the plates do flex, you'll want to be sure that your hair is completely dry before use, and using smaller sections with each pass can help to prevent the issue you're reporting here.
We understand that you've decided to return your purchase. If there's anything else we can help with, please get in touch with us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
This is a tough product to rate - on the one hand there are several features that I really like and that I have not seen on many or even any other straighteners. I love the cordless functionality and how quickly the tool heats up. This combined with being able to plug the charging cord into the stand means that instead of putting everything away after each use, I now just leave the Corrale sitting in its dock most of the time, ready to use for quick touch ups. The convenience is superb, and even better because the dual voltage and airplane mode features mean I can literally take this anywhere, even overseas where the Dyson Supersonic and Airwrap can’t go…. This is one of the primary reasons I chose the Corrale - I wanted a convenient tool that could come with me when I travel overseas and generally don’t have a ton of hair care or styling products with me. Another big positive is that there is no singed smell when using the Corrale, which I have to believe is due to the technology. It also works, for me anyway, on even the lowest heat setting. The Corrale leaves my hair frizz free with a nice shine, and it usually takes minimal passes. I find the battery lasts plenty for me and that the cordless feature is well worth it. In all, the Corrale does a good job of straightening and curling, at least the loser types of waves I like to give my hair some body and bounce. But that’s where I run into trouble with the rating - the Corrale does a “good” job - the results don’t blow me away, they are just “good”. In fairness, they are achieved with all the convenience I just described, and with less heat and presumably less damage, but I don’t know that all justifies the incredibly high price. Ironically, part of my less than 100% satisfaction is influenced by my overwhelmingly positive experience with the Dyson Supersonic, which I consider a true game changer and worth every penny with respect to the results and the speed with which they can be achieved. Maybe the true advantages of the Corrale over other straighteners are the speed, convenience and lower heat with which good results can be achieved rather than the more obvious superior results you can get with the Dyson Supersonic over any other hair dryer I have tired. I don’t regret buying the Corrale but it is not a game changer for me the way the Supersonic is. I do like the Corrale, but If it broke tomorrow I would not necessarily miss the product, I would mostly be mad about the money I spent. If I broke the Supersonic, however, I would have to find a way to replace it right away - that’s just how much difference it has made to how I am able to dry and style my hair.
The straighter works wonderfully didn’t use it enough to explore the different hairstyles as I decided to return it, mostly because of battery life. Hopefully Dyson come out with an updated version soon. 😀
I have had this straightener for about 3 years now. Over the course of those three years; I've had to replace the base charger, thankfully under warranty, and now that it's out of warranty it no longer holds a charge. For the price of this straightener I would have liked it to have lasted longer than 3 years. The product itself works great when it held a charge and I was able to use the cord free feature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We love to hear and learn from our owners, even when we miss the mark on something. It's definitely disappointing to know that you've already needed to replace the base charger for your Corrale, but that it's also no longer holding a charge. The greatest draw on the charge of the battery is during the heating up period; taking the heater plates from ambient/room temperature up to 210°C/410°F. To help ensure the longest cord-free run time, we do suggest completely charging your Corrale in between each use. You can, of course, also connect to the charging cable to extend run time. The battery will continue to discharge when in hybrid mode, but at a slower rate. If you still have any questions or concerns that we can help to address, feel free to get in touch with us at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
i have used this for quite some time. it’s become an everyday favorite for me!! it’s the best straighter i’ve ever used, and it leaves my hair perfectly straight and silky smooth!!

I have the dryer which I love so when this launched it was an immediate purchase. My hair is thick, coarse and curly… mostly 3b with a kinkier texture thru the crown. This straightener works wonders and my hair never smells burnt or feels dry afterwards. I love the fact that it is cordless and travel friendly.

This straightener is so awesome. I have curly hair and it works so good. It's so well made.
Only annoyance is the idle beep, I was able to find out how to turn the other beeps off.
