To my surprise my hair was left with a burnt smell and several strands were being pulled out at the clamp with each curl attempt. Unfortunately I will have to return to maintain my hair health. Not what I expected from a T3 product.

Holds the curls all day. Super easy to use. I have 2 other (different sizes) curling irons from this same brand. They make great products.

Great curling iron. My daughter has thick hair and it has been difficult finding a curling iron whose curls will hold. Her curls held for the entire day after using this.

I’m a licensed hair professional, and I must say I absolutely love this curling iron. I do a lot of natural hair and this curling iron works amazing on my clients.

I love this curling iron. I have fine thin hair and aways set my curling irons at hottest I could thinking I would get a longer lasting better curl. I followed the recommendation for this curling iron and set it at #2 heat. It works great. My curl holds a long time and it doesn't damage my hair. It glides smooth on my hair and is easy to use.

When my Hot Tools ceramic ion iron chipped the coating 8 months into weekly use and the reviews said the replacement they sent was likely to do the same, I decided to upgrade to a more sustainable choice. I liked how my Hot Tools performed—chipping aside, it was a great iron that created beautiful curls that lasted. This is also a great iron that creates beautiful curls that last. I'm assuming the price is for the longevity, less potentially damaging components, and aesthetics.
It does make me feel fancy curling my hair—I unapologetically love aesthetic experiences and this is a gorgeous tool. Once I used it, I figured I'd better upgrade to the Switch kit since the 1" performed so well, but I actually wound up sending the Switch back. I found I could get different sized curls with just the 1" iron with technique and didn't really need slightly different sized barrels. Worse, the little switch-foot in the Switch kit ripped out my hair. Further, I actually prefer the aesthetics of this iron, with the wrap-around rose gold detail. For me, the value just wasn't there and the performance was worse with the Switch. If I did want a convertible, I'd actually get the older version because it doesn't have the weird foot. (Bonus tip—you can use this iron as a wand if you just leave the clamp clamped.)
I do find my hair wants to slip down into the little gap between the handle and the clamp, which notably, the switch doesn't have. And it's expensive...without knowing how long it will last, hard to say if it's really worth it. It will need to last 6 years for the per-month cost to work out to the Hot Tools' price, and longer to be superior—even for the on-sale with-discount-code cash-back deal I scored.
The major selling point for me is that reviewers seemed to perceive it as less damaging then other irons. I have fine thin hair, and I've lost a lot of it to illness. I baby my strands with silk scrunchies, pillowcases, boar bristle brushing, and good products. If this iron helps preserve more hair while letting that hair be down and beautiful, I'm sold.
My go-to with this is to only hold the curl for a few seconds on the lowest setting—it comes out in long, chill waves that aren't too flouncy (and it takes just a few minutes to do my whole head!). The first day looks a little more vavoom, the second day is glossy relaxed perfection. I will still have waves if I don't wash on day three or four. It's a tiny time investment with a big impact, and since the heat barely touches it, I feel I'm not hurting my hair much. I think it's one reason to invest in the tighter iron even if you want bigger curls. I can do more polished, tighter styles by leaving it in a few seconds more. With a little practice, one good curling iron can be your large-barrel, small barrel, and wand all in one—who needs a Switch Kit? (Answering: people who want to go from teeny-tiny curls to big vavoom waves all in one iron—the people who would buy both the smallest and largest attachment. And beginners—no shame!)
Last but not least, I personally don't think this iron could ever justify the full MSRP—but the sale prices seem a reasonable value.
