This is my second Solia. My first one (with blue plates) developed a short after several years of use. I went back to Chi (which is what I used prior to my first Solia) but was extremely disappointed. I didn't realize under AFTER I purchased the Chi and started using it that Chi has reduced the temperature setting on its flat irons from 310 degrees F to 260 degrees F, something that hasn't been publicized. I found it on the Chi Web site when I realized that the iron wasn't getting hot enough. It took some digging around because the information was buried deeply in the site. (Interestingly, I just tried to find it again, but couldn't, so the company has either removed the reference or I was unsuccessful in getting to it because it is so hard to find.) That 50 degrees makes a huge difference for someone with thick, wild, curly hair like mine. Solia irons can be set for temperatures up to 350 degrees F, but are not easy to find (one of the reasons I bought the Chi), and I'm thankful that Amazon still carries them. The new Solia is working beautifully. I just wish I had skipped the Chi and gone straight to the Solia. Lesson learned.

I have waited a few weeks to write a review about this flat iron because I wanted to see how it works with everyday use. This is my second Solia. My first I had for about 5 years and it got a short in the wire somehow and would turn on but not stay on. I absolutely loved the old one. This one however is weird. It does seem well made like a soft finish sort of rubbery material where the old one was like a hard plastic. But this new one has very different plates that pull the crap out of my hair! The plates stick up pretty far from the unit and it creates a gap that very easily gets hair caught in it. My old one didn’t do that at all. Then there’s the temperature dial that only has the lowest to highest numbers on it so you can’t tell what you’re truly styling your hair at. It does a decent job straightening but I do have to go over and over my hair and along with the snagging I just feel like it’s not a good straightener. It also makes a strange cracking or popping sound when I turn it on. It’s not the worst but definitely not the best and I really wish it was the old one because that’s the one pictured on here but not what they sent.
