Great curling iron with much too short life

The curling iron is very good, particularly emphasized the switchable ion function for smooth silky hair. I use the curl Stabd regularly (every two days) and can so far see any serious damage to my hair when using a heat protection spray.

I have the curling iron since the beginning of September 2014 in use. Unfortunately, he begins now to break up into its component parts. Only the Ring broke back, where the cable is attached. On closer inspection now shows that the synthetic material which is porous throughout and is bursting / torn. I can not explain it. The rod is similar never fell off me
I would just expect that a branded product lasts longer.
Then it also does the curling iron from the drug store for about 9.00. He has done well in about the same time and especially his service.

That's why I give in spite of the good characteristics and satisfaction with the device, because of the material weakness only three stars.
