Giving this a quick bump because of a recent discovery.
I have a Chi (that I apparently should have bought on ebay, crap, I paid retail!

, but I agree with others, I have definitely gotten my money's worth), but I unfortunately left it behind accidentally when I was recently out of town. I'll be able to get it back when I go back through there soon, but needed something to get me through until then.
My hairdresser had recommended the flatiron by Bedhead and said Target sells them. So I ran by Target, picked up the Bedhead but started glancing at other products. Knowing I'm getting my Chi back, I decided to take a risk and pick up a Remington Wet to Dry (or something to that effect), paying $23 compared to $70 for the Bedhead.
Best almost 50 bucks I've ever saved. I'm very, very impressed with that iron! And I don't even have to blow dry my hair first, saving time!
So for anyone that doesn't use a hair straightener often enough to make sense of paying for the most expensive ones or for anyone on a budget, I would highly recommend that Remington. Ok, now I really have to get back to work.
