Conair Reviews

Conair 1875 - Have had the blow dryer less than two years. I don't use every day, I have short thin hair. When I do use it for less than 10 minutes. The blow dryer started making loud sounds and turns on sometimes but not others. After reading other reviews, I am throwing out and will not purchase Conair again.

I called the company about a safety rest that was to be on my iron and the company said, "Oh well cant help you." The rest was not on there and was advertised to be on there and the person on the other end said take to where I bought it and they will put it on there, but none of them have it on there and was advertised to be on there. So the company said "I WAS WRONG AND THERE IS NO REST". SINCE WHEN IS THE CUSTOMER WRONG. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. RUDE PEOPLE WORK THERE!!!

In July 2016 I was badly burnt. I was admitted to a burn unit 2 hours from my young son (5) for multiple skin grafts and more pain than words could ever express, our lives forever changed that day! Based on customer reviews and the multiple times that this has happened with the same model and brought to their attention CONAIR knew there was a problem with this product and did nothing. I am still suffering from the effects of their negligence.

I had a Conair Hair Dryer, 1875. One day, I was drying my hair, and it started to sound like a jet engine. There was a flame inside of it! I called Conair. They said they would replace it, and refund my shipping. They did replace it. But never refunded my shipping. When I called, they said 6-8 weeks. It's been 8. I just called, and got put on terminal hold. Then, I hung up, called back, and was told they aren't going to refund my shipping because the unit was out of warranty.

I returned a curling iron to have a broken clip part replaced but they said they weren't going to fix it, they'll send me a new one. They said they would order it because they were out of stock and it would be about 3 weeks. I called when the three weeks were up then they told me that it was there ready, for Canada Post to pick it up and two weeks have gone by I haven't received it so I called again. The guy tells me it'll be here in 7 to 10 days. They didn't have stock so it's a new story every time. If it's not here by the end of the month I'll go buy another brand.

This is the second Conair 1875 Watt Dryer I have owned and I still have problems with the brush attachment falling off during the styling process. Very frustrating! The combs are no problem, but the brushes are always too loose! Also, I wish the "cool" button would click in place so you don't have to hold it down while styling. I have hand issues so it's very hard to keep applying pressure to the button while styling. Unless these issues are fixed, I'm afraid I will have to look into another alternative.

A couple of years ago, the Conair Infiniti Pro hair dryer that I was using was recalled. After contacting customer service, I sent the recalled dryer back to Conair and they sent me a replacement (the same model, an Infiniti Pro). A few weeks ago, sparks started coming out of this dryer while I was drying my hair. Then smoke followed. Obviously, the issue that resulted in the recall in the first place was not corrected. I immediately called Conair to report this. I was told to ship this dryer back to Conair (they would email me a return shipping label) and a new dryer would be sent to me. Day after day, week after week, I waited for the shipping label to arrive in my email and I even kept checking my spam for it daily. No label! It has taken me 3 phone calls to finally get a shipping label emailed to me so that I could send the dryer back to Conair.

I asked my sister for a new hairdryer for Christmas. She got me the Infinity Pro Conair 1875 watt dryer. I seemed to like it at first, but the outside of the dryer, had a mesh coating on it. I have long hair, and my hair kept getting caught. Not only that, I used it yesterday, and it started smoking and making a loud noise. I couldn't believe it! This blow dryer was only a few months old, not overused. Thank god I had my older Conair, this one I had for quite a few years. These products should be tested more frequently, before putting them in stores. So today, I bought a new blow dryer, but I'm trying a different one. I hope this one doesn't blow up either. What a disappointment. :(

My wife has had this hair dryer for about a year or so. One morning last week she was drying her hair when a flash and popping started, then smoke and a flame appeared three inches from the plug in the cord. After extinguishing the flame, she had to kill power to the whole house to get the dryer plug removed from the outlet. The flame did not trip the GFI in the wall or the blow dryer plug (GFI stands for Ground Fault Interrupter, NOT power). The dryer shorted across power, not ground. She was fine AFTER her heart slowed down (panic over).

After using my Conair 1875 yesterday (4/1/2017) I turned it off. It immediately came back on, with smoke shooting out of the low/off/high/cool button area, followed by shooting flames. I had to pull it out of the wall to stop the flames. What gives???

I have been a supporter of Conair hair tools for over a decade. I'm writing you to inform you that one of your specialty series flat irons called" tourmaline" has overheated and possibly was the cause of burning my client's hair completely out. I only had the flat iron over a month and never experienced this. My client has been a loyal client for over 4 years and we have never experienced this kind of mishap before Ever!!!!! This flatiron "tourmaline" by Conair was on level 420 heat the entire time. It wasn't until I got to the shaft of her hair and the iron stuck to the hair and completely fried it out on the left side. Once this happen I screamed as well as she did. My client and I sat down and went through entire process of how we do her hair and what possibly could have happened, then realizing there was nothing we did to cause this.

I've had this hairdryer for a while. It was good to me and I wasn't looking to replace it anytime soon until this morning. I was drying my hair and all of a sudden I heard a loud popping with a blinding light right in my face. It kept popping and I threw it on the ground afraid that it would catch on fire. I unplugged it and then I saw that the cord how been blown off the hair dryer. Such a scary thing but thank God I was not burned or hurt. Will never buy Conair again and I will be contacting them to see if they do anything.

Have been using this brand of curling irons from Conair for a little over a year. Have burned myself a few times due to the extreme heat, however, I just thought it was my own ignorance of the product. However, this morning I went to use my curling iron, in the same manner I always do. Away from the sink! As I have the curling iron rotated around a length of hair, out of the blue, the iron pops and shoots sparks flying everywhere from the handle!! Good grief! Seriously I could have been injured beyond belief! According to the tag on the cord, the item # is V08480 and the Bar Code is 0-74108-165-22-0.

I really liked my Conair 1875. This was the second one I bought but they don't even hold up for 2 years. I finally bought another brand and threw it away. I will be darned if I will pay to send it to you. The first one I gave the benefit of the doubt a second. NO! Your feature of cord storage was wonderful but it does have to preform and hold up longer. I have short hair. It doesn't have to be run for long periods of time. Your product is junk and I will let friends know as well Not to buy!

Terrible. I bought this for my daughter but first wanted to make sure it was safe for her and tried it out for the first time myself. I ended up burning myself severely. Now at the hospital. Only had it on the second level. Can't believe how unsafe this item is and how hot it gets only at the second level to cause such a burn.

I mailed back the clippers & received a new one only because I requested my money back!!! And now this one stopped working too! Then I call Conair to report to them that the same thing has happened again! I'm never gonna buy their products again, nor recommend their products to my friends & family! Should've read the reviews first.

I purchased a Conair hair dryer (Model 124AC) with dual voltage prior to an overseas trip to the UK. The box states that this hair dryer has dual voltage, 2 heats/2 speeds and a folding handle. I checked that all was working prior to my trip. When in the UK I changed the voltage to the 250 setting, and was surprised to find that only 1 heat/1 speed works on the higher voltage. It is only the highest heat and speed setting that works.

I purchased my first Conair Infiniti Pro 1875 hair dryer about a year ago. I loved it, until one day while using it, flames started shooting out the end of the handle. I was unaware anyone else had this problem. I had just returned from vacation and I assumed something must have happened to it during travel... although, I could not figure out what could have happened.

I bought this hairdryer at a pharmacy in Manhattan about six or seven months ago. It was on sale. I've had no problems with it until today. While using it, it made a couple of popping sounds and then immediately flames and sparks started shooting out of the bottom of the handle and I felt a current go up my left arm. I dropped the hairdryer on the floor and pulled the plug out of the socket. The resulting smoke in the bathroom was very unpleasant. I immediately went to the Conair website intending to report it and saw that many model numbers of the Infinity Pro had been recalled, but not my model number 259Y. The recall notice was very specific in saying that only models with one screw on the back of the handle were being recalled. My model 259Y has TWO screws on the back.

Caution!!! I bought this "Conair" curl & secret curling iron - $99 on sale for $79 with my 20% coupon - "As seen on TV". I've seen it for at least a year - finally go to buy myself something nice. Had to wait for it to ship to Bed, Bath and Beyond (because everyone wants one) and that thing ate my hair for real. If my 17 year son hadn't saved me I would have lost an inch of hair. It was and is still stuck in that thing!!! For sure worse than boot camp, working on a teenage psych ward, and as a wound care specialist this was a horrific experience. Now I'm trying to figure out how to write a review - which in hindsight I should of looked up first.

Conair Infiniti Pro 1875 Watt Hair Dryer. I purchased this hair dryer last week to replace a hair dryer I've used for 5+ years. Took dryer out of box and dried my hair and it worked fine. After I finished I threw away the packaging. The next day I went to dry my hair and the medium blower would not work at all. I called Conair this morning since the product has a one-year warranty (or so I thought) and was advised that I needed to send the dryer to their Arizona warehouse AT MY EXPENSE where it would be evaluated and they would then let me know what I needed to do next. When I asked why I was required to pay postage to return a defective dryer I was told I should be happy because they normally charge for the item to be returned to you as well and they waived that portion of the fee. Bad product and worse customer service! I strongly advise anyone considering a Conair hair dryer to reconsider!

Bought 5 i-Stubble men's hair trimmers for Christmas. All but one worked. The spring that holds the blade assembly together wasn't attached. Contacted Conair and I kept having to contact them again and again because every replacement that I got (3 replacements) all had the same problem. Quality control just let them get by. I have read many reviews about people with the same problems for the GMT880. Tried to attach the spring myself, but the tiny plastic piece that holds it just breaks right off. Finally just gave up and threw it away and bought my little brother something else. Will never buy another Conair product again because they don't care to test them before selling. I would advise everybody else to stay away from Conair products.

I bought a coffeepot for my husband. After he had it for about 11 months, it was not working right no matter how often we cleaned it. So I called Conair and they sent me another coffeepot for $10.00. This coffeepot, the light did not work on the clock and at least once a day the coffee would come out cold. And to send the pots back it would cost me $50.00 a pot. I would not buy anything that's made by Conair again.

First purchase started leaking water within three-year warranty. Conair replaced with a unit that lasted two months before hot water stopped working. Conair replaced that one with another unit that lasted one month before hot water stopped working. Now, ConAir customer service says they will replace the third unit but it's only under warranty for 90 days. Even though the original purchase stopped working within the three-year warranty period, and the two subsequent replacements stopped working, Conair/Cuisinart customer service says we're out of luck with the original warranty if the fourth unit doesn't work after 90 days.

I've been using this product for approximately two years, lately I've noticed it's been hotter than normal and would have to wait for it to cool down. Last week I had it plugged in for about 15 minutes, when I came back, the top cover had caved in and soft, it had started to melt. The rollers were extremely hot, when I tried to lift one out, the whole top rim came off, the rollers were melting from the heat!!! A few days later I tried to pull a roller out to look at it, all were stuck and after forcing one out, I could see that the rollers had melted and were so disfigured it was hard to remove them from the slot; they were stuck to the floor of the unit the metal rods. Very dangerous over-heating. I saw someone else wrote about overheated rollers too.

Infiniti pro hairdryer - Yesterday I went to blow dry my hair and it simply blew up... But not until it snapped, crackled and popped blowing amber hot sparks in my face. I am so startled and angry!!! I want a new dryer!!

Last night I was using my Conair Infiniti blow dryer and it made a huge exploding noise. Flames shot out of it and it nearly burnt my chest. Thankfully, I dropped it immediately so there were no burns on my skin. It was a frightening experience and I won't use Conair products again. It will be hard to find a blow dryer that isn't Conair but I will try today.

I received the Conair Infiniti curler for Christmas. The first time I used it was great. The second it started beeping and would not stop. So I try it a third and it gets stuck in my hair and I had to cut a large portion out. I've been growing my hair out for only 2 years and now this. I will not be buying Conair products. I am not trying to go bald, I am trying to look pretty. And the best part, it kept trying to eat my hair to the scalp until I unplugged it and what happened after that, the curler started smoking. I am guessing it was my hair, I didn't want it to catch on fire so I cut it off almost to the scalp. Instead of get a perfect curl every time, how about lose and burn your hair every time.

I just bought a Conair wet and dry straightener and went to use it today on DRY hair, and I put it on my hair and it burnt the whole left side right as it hit my hair!!! I had to throw the straightener into the sink to stop it from smoking AND I had to run into the shower because I thought my hair was about to go on fire. It's so bad to the point where my hair is burnt to a crisp and stuck on the metal plate, in piles in the sink as well as burnt in my hair and falling out as we speak. How does this happen?!?! I've used many different straighteners and this has never happened! Now I literally have one giant burnt spot on one side of my head. What am I supposed to do, cut all the way up to my scalp? Or shave my head on that side? This is unacceptable and I am so so pissed. I should sue you for this! Never buy from them!!!

I opened and used the Conair curls and curl-styling brush once. The first time I used it my long hair got so tangled I couldn't use anything to pry my hair out. I had to end up cutting my hair. So now instead of long pretty hair, I have unwanted bangs that I had to go to the salon to blend the rest of my hair. This product is ridiculous and thankfully, it is so cheaply made, it didn't heat up enough to burn my scalp. In fact this product is so bad, I think it is being discontinued.

Has anyone had a problem with the Conair 1875 dryer? Over the last few days it has been blowing hot then starts blowing colder air, then back to hot, then cold again. I can still dry my hair but weird. Today I actually got a shock from the thing. My fingers still tingle. Not using it again. Need to buy another. This one is only a couple years old.... I'll be using my 1980s backup hair dryer for a few days.

Had just got this curling iron my second time using it and my hair got caught in the device. I could not take it out. I pulled and pulled trying to get it out it wouldn't release my hair. Finally had to cut it out called the 1800 number spoke to a rep she said she was so sorry took my info. I asked for corporates number she wasn't allowed to give it out?? She said someone would get back to me still waiting??? I asked if this has happened before was not allowed to answer ?? What kind of company are they running??

Conair curling wand kills your hair!! Do NOT buy, very disappointed. I have to get a hair cut frequently due to the curler. Not worth the money.

I noticed a "smell" in my fairly new iron and called Conair and was "assured" it was under warranty (which I have) and that they would send me a replacement out ASAP. I did not have another iron so expressed to them I needed it right away and if there was a wait to please let me know. I was told 7-10 days, no problem. Well that was a long enough time but I waited. After day 10 I called. I was told now that it was on "back order" which I would never have sent it back had I known this but now nothing I can do. I asked to "please" give me a call when it comes in and again was "assured" I would no problem.

Every Conair hair curler I've owned have been inferior. The clips that hold the rollers to your hair are made of plastic which softens/expand and let the rollers fall out. Their latest ($99) curler is no better.

Conair Ion Shine 1875 Blow Dryer - I've had this blow dryer for less than 2 years. The past month I've been noticing the area where the cord meets the appliance was getting extremely hot when using it, but didn't think anything of it. Today, I was using it and noticed a weird, plastic smell. Turned it off and didn't see any smoke or anything unusual. Turned it on again and immediately heard a loud pop and was showered with hot sparks that flew out of the cord. Dropped it on the ground and it shut off, but never been so scared in my life.

I bought this curling device for $113.00, you would think it was great for that price. One day it heated up so hot it burnt my hair. I did not notice initially but by the end of the day 1/3 of my hair had fallen off about an inch from the root. The entire top layer of my hair was gone. There's nothing I can do to fix it but wait for it to grow. I emailed them about it and got some stupid email saying to send it for testing with all the original packaging. No sorry, no nothing. I was so disgusted I didn't even answer back. Please do not buy this.

I was using a 1 inch round Conair hair brush to get lift at the crown of my head, I rolled the hair onto the brush and blew it with a dryer, I could not get my hair out of the brush. I wet my hair and put conditioner on it and still had to pull the brush forcefully from my hair resulting in torn hair. My hair is fine to begin with, and I do not have much of it. To see so much of my hair literally ripped from my head was traumatic. I bought this brush less than a month ago from a grocery store.

I will start off with saying how grateful I was that I was home. My Conair cord keeper 1875 turned on all by itself. It started as a low whirling sound and was led quickly by smoke.

I purchased the xl hot rollers from Conair and was very pleased at first. One morning as I tried to remove the first roller, it had gotten so hot the plastic started pulling apart. They were all melting. I contacted Conair. They sent me a long questionnaire which I filled out, and sent back. They sent me another set exactly like the first. I used the next one for several months with no problems and then the same thing happened. I was lucky, all that happened was I burnt the tips of my fingers. I emailed Conair and they replied I would have to call. When I called they said there was nothing they could do since they are only under warranty for a year. I didn't remember when I had sent the first one back and don't have any idea how old the replacement was. What happened to good customer service? I'm thinking of posting pictures of the melted curlers on facebook.

I purchased Infiniti Conair hair dryer less than 1 year back. While I was putting it on, it caught up the fire. I was lucky I was not using it otherwise I could have hurt. How can I take my refund or file a complaint?

My Conair hair straightener started on fire and blew up today and almost burned my place down. I need to get some attention to my Facebook post. Can you share it on your page for me - I appreciate it guys. Also if you have any direct media outlets I can contact, thanks. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. PLS SHARE VIDEO ON MY TIMELINE.

Purchased the Infiniti Pro by Conair blow dryer approximately 3 years ago. This past weekend, while drying my hair, the dryer shorted out immediately caught on fire burning a hole through my p'j's, burning a hole in my skin on my right breast. I was shocked and scared. I have never had a blow dryer product catch on fire. I was lucky the blow dryer was not near my face for it would have surely burnt my face and/or caught my hair on fire. I plan to file a complaint with ConAir.

I had and used this blow dryer for a couple of years. This particular morning I was using it for about 15 minutes and it started smelling like hair was burning. Before I could turn it off something came out of the blow dryer and landed between my breast and my bra. It burnt a hole in my bra and burnt my skin. There was like metal that I had to dig out of my burn. I am left with a small scar. I had just thrown away the blow dryer but when I realized it was going to leave me a scar I pulled it out. I took pictures just in case there is anything I need to do to prove this blow dryer did this to me.

I purchased a Babybliss Titanium Hair Straightener and it stopped working. I called customer service back in October, around October 12. They took my information and were to send me a replacement product. I waited over 30 days and called to follow up on the status. They said they would send a referral to corporate and I would receive a call back within 48 hours. I did not hear from them and I called back on 11/26 and another referral was sent to corporate and again I was told another call would be received and yet again no call. On 12-4, I called to inquire again and was told that the product was sent out on 12/11 via FedEx. Only later to learn that my product could not have gone FedEx because FedEx does not deliver to a PO box.

I purchased one of the faulty hair dryers 08/13 at Kohl's and to know that Conair was still selling this product after a high volume of complaints is disturbing and they need to be held accountable. I have damage to my hair and my bangs have broken off and I have very long hair. My teenager also burned her counter with this dryer. I literally can't believe they would keep this product on the shelves and try to cover this up rather than protect the public and children from injury. Conair certainly better issue a public apology for their negligence and I see multiple lawsuits coming their way. I am calling my attorney Monday in DFW, TX. If anyone wants his number for advice please respond and I will post contact info.

I purchased a Conair blow dryer, model #115WD serial # 0510N, six months ago. The dryer is blowing sparks. I noticed this WHILE using it. Luckily, I wasn't injured, but can you imagine? The customer service representative I spoke with said they are unable to generate a ticket for return/exchange of this product and I would have to wait for corporate to contact me in the next 4-7 days on this matter. WHAT??? Maybe if my hair or bathroom caught fire, they would be more concerned about replacing the faulty product.

On July 15, 2013, I got electrocuted with a Conair flat iron. It was about 7:58 am in the morning, I was getting ready and usually straighten my bangs only. This time when I grabbed the flat iron, It just exploded (like) in front of my face. Smoke and a light came out of it. I felt the electrocution really bad on my hand. I also felt my heart beating really fast. So at this time I am very upset because I have gotten hold of the Conair Company and have had no response to the incident. I did have to go the Emergency Room and thank Goodness all the tests came out good. My concern is if the product is of no good (or any of their products) they need to pull them off the shelves, so that nobody else gets hurt.

I owned a 1875 Cord Keeper Dryer, and it caught fire as well. The damage was minimal. But, a year and a half ago, our teenager left her Conair flat iron unattended on the highest setting and it caught fire to her room. Our home damaged from fire, smoke & water. We are still trying to recover. I will never purchase another Conair item again. They are made very poorly in our opinion. They all need to be recalled.

When I first got this curling Iron, I thought the temperature dial was at a terrible location, it would unintentionally get lowered... I ended up taping the temp. dial to prevent that from happening. I have had no major issues... until this morning. As I was getting ready for work the curling iron overheated and burned my hair. I looked at it and it looked as if there was steam coming out of it and the silvery part of the iron is now grayish. I looked at my hair and I have lost chunks of hair! I am outraged. I have always been delicate with my hair. There's no way I would leave my hair too long in the curler. I have only had this thing for 8 months and never in my life have I had a curling iron damage/ruin my hair this bad. I will no longer buy any Conair hair products after this. What a terrible experience! Now my hair smells burnt and I have to cut it. NOT A FAN OF CONAIR.

I purchased a brush that when you roll your hair in it and take it out, it is supposed to curl it. But when I tried to unroll it, it was VERY stuck in my hair! It took at least a long and painful hour of pulling and de-tangling my hair from the brush with the help of others. I do not recommend this product to anyone, EVER! It was the worst brush I have used or owned and a very painful experience! And in the end I still had no curls!!! Don't buy this product!!!

We had a flat iron catch on fire and are wondering if anyone else has had the same experience.

I just want everyone to stay away from buying the Conair clothes steamer. I bought one less than 2 years ago and it doesn't work. Called customer service and they said if it's over one year old they can't help me. Just stay away. It's not worth even one star.

Conair hot clip rollers - I purchased your rollers and they stink. The clips do not hold the rollers in. And what they do hold in leave marks in your hair. I might want to try something new because these new clips stink!

Conair Cord Keeper 1875 - Popping noise when using the dryer. The cord started to spark and burst into flames! Now Conair's email link to contact them doesn't work!

I have a Conair 2-inch gold matte curling iron. It just sparked and briefly caught fire enough to damage the bathroom countertop. I don't think I'm injured, but I am still shaking. There are exposed wires where this happened, where the twisty part goes into the base. I live in subsidized housing on $660 a month. I cannot afford to buy a new curling iron (this was approximately a year old), much less replace the countertop which the management is most definitely not going to be pleased with. I am attaching a cell phone picture. It's not the best, but the countertop will have to be completely replaced.

I have a Conair Ionic Shine Cord Keeper hair dryer for years. The other day, I was using the hair dryer, and I heard a big popping sound in my ear. I looked at the cord of the hair dryer, and it was on fire. I immediately turned off the hair dryer and unplugged it. Because the hair dryer caught on fire, my wall got burned badly and the plug where the prongs go into the wall is melted. I am very upset that this happened. I could have easily gotten burned really bad. I really hope Conair gets this complaint because I have read several reviews from other people that the same thing has happened to. Conair needs to do something about this. I have taken pictures of the damage on my wall, and I've taken pictures of the hair dryer if they want them.

I was so excited when I found this hair dryer with a retractable cord! Fitting the dryer and cord into my small bathroom cabinet has always been a problem; but alas, with this purchase, I would have one less hassle in my life - or so I hoped. The reality is that I have traded one problem for two others. Oh, yes, the cord retracts as advertised; in fact, it does every time I lay it down! Set it on the counter to brush a curl and zippppp, the cord whips in, knocking down everything in its path, and with its ratcheting zing sound, scaring me half to death. It sounds like electricity on the loose!

I've purchased and used three different models of Conair hairdryers in the past 4 years. All three died within 1-2 years. All three sparked and smoked. The most recent one melted the insulation on the power cord near the handle. I am lucky that I wasn't electrocuted. After my experiences and having read so many complaints about this company's faulty products, I believe this company is highly unethical. It's clear its only interest is profit and it cares not for the satisfaction and safety of its customers. To all whom may be considering a Conair hairdryer, I urge you to reconsider and not fund an enterprise that operates with principals on par with those of criminals. To the executives enriching themselves at the expense of Conair customers, I wish you to receive jail time for your complete disregard for human decency.

While drying my hair, my Conair 1875 suddenly made a loud pop and stopped working. It was 1-2 years old. It was pretty scary at the time but going by the other reviews posted, I see it could have been worse. I am surprised there has not been a recall.

My husband purchased a Rusk Speed Freak Dryer (Pink) for Christmas in 2011 from Ulta. In March of 2012, the filter on the back of the dryer popped out and would not go back in. I could not locate my receipt, so I didn't immediately contact Customer Service. I came across the receipt in October of 2012. I called in to Customer Service at 800-326-6247 from work. The rep Craig told me that he needed the model number of the dryer. I said I would call back. I went home and could not locate a model number on the dryer or cord. I searched everywhere. No part number. I called Customer Service back and got Craig again. This time, I explained that there was no model number other than Speed Freak on the dryer.

Traci, I was using the same product as you, Conair Infiniti Pro AC Motor Hair Dryer, on Friday morning, July 27, 2012 and I had the hair dryer on. I had dropped the brush I was using to dry my hair, bent over to pick it up, so the hair dryer was just above waist level. All of a sudden it popped, sending out sparks from the bottom of the hair dryer, where the cord comes out, and it burnt the ** out of an area on my left side. The hair dryer is now dead. I have only had this hair dryer right at a year, so I cannot imagine that it would do this in such a short period. I do not wrap the cord around the hair dryer when I'm finished with it and I make sure the filter area is clean.

I've had my Conair Infiniti Pro for a year and a half. Yes, it is on the heavy side, but I can't say this is any better or worse than any other dryer I've used in the past. That is until this morning. While in use, the hair dryer emitted a shower of sparks from the back of the dryer (thankfully, away from my face). Nonetheless, sparks landed on my hand, back and the side of the neck. After screaming and throwing the hair dryer down, while still running, the dryer continued to throw sparks before stopping. Not sure if the sparks caused the dryer to stop running or me throwing it on the bathroom floor. Nonetheless, I was terrified. I have never had any hairstyle device come close to what I experienced today.

I own a Conair 1875 (Model: 138Q) and the switch (off, low, high) smoked and the handle felt too hot. The hair dryer began to cut out due to smoke coming from the switch, and then failed.

Conair Ion Shine 1875 - I have used this hairdryer for less than a year. Last week, I noticed the handle of this hairdryer gets uncomfortably hot after about 4 minutes of use. I have to turn it off and let it cool down. The screen is free of lint. It seems like a safety hazard and I wonder if anyone else has filed a complaint. I would like Conair to replace this hairdryer.

I just bought an Infiniti Pro by Conair, 1 in Nano Tourmaline Ceramic Curling Iron. I turned it on the 2nd highest setting to try out on my hair. I had done 3 curls on the top of my head from back to front before I realized my hair was smoking and stinking. Then I realized it was fried/burned. I hurriedly put water on it in case it was on fire. The hair was fried and breaking off before my eyes. There were pieces all over my back and neck and in the sink. I took pictures of the damage and proceeded to cut off all the damaged hair. I was freaking out, as not only is this horrible as it is, but I have a wedding to attend in 3 weeks, where pictures will be taken, etc. I was able to salvage my hairstyle, but am extremely upset this could happen from a curling iron on the 2nd highest setting. How/why did this happen! I've never seen anything like it in all my years!

I've purchased several Conair hairdryers which usually start burning after several years of use, but the 1875 which I bought three months ago, January 30, 2012, started burning today, 4-22-2012. I could see the orange flames on the coils in the dryer so I immediately switched to the cool heat, which I was able to use. Judging by the complaints on this board, I am not the only one experiencing this problem. This is too dangerous for Conair to ignore. Do not buy Conair 1875 if you value your safety.

I have a Conair hair blower that is about six months old. While drying my hair today, the cord burst in to flames. I pulled it from the outlet and it continued to smolder at the point where the cord fits into the handle. From the other comments, I am lucky that it was only terribly frightening. I will never purchase another Conair hair blower.

My house caught on fire last March 22, 2012 and the source of the fire was my Conair 1875 Hair Dryer. I had had it about a 1-1/2. It completely destroyed my bathroom and caused the death of three of my dogs (my children). The rest of my house was completely damaged from smoke and I am displaced due to the loss. I am completely devastated by the loss of my babies. So, anyone who reads this, please, if you purchase a hair dryer, never ever leave it plugged in.

I have always bought Conair hair dryers and was never dissatisfied. But a few days ago my (1) year old hair dryer was on fire from the black wire that extends from the plug. My hand was slightly burned; the wall and the vanity are both damaged. I was so frightened by the fire coming out of the dryer I unplugged it as soon as I could to prevent further damage. I am also going to write directly to Conair also. I do not have the model number with me right now, but wanted to put this complaint in directly to you. Thank you for your time.

I have cervical and lumbar spinal issues. It was recommended to me to buy a Neck Massager for relief for the cervical area. The only brand I saw available to buy was a ConAir brand. It was $39.99 plus tax. That's a lot for me but if it helps, I could manage. For me, it does provide relief. However, it is very flimsy and the important part of the massager is the strap, which attaches to a button and keeps the massager snug to the back of the neck and then vibrates when you turn it on. The product is a month old and the strap is loose already!

I have the ceramic curling iron. While using it, it exploded and sparks came out at the end of the iron. It looked much like a flare for a very brief time. The sparks burned holes in my clothes and skin, nothing major as far as the burns, but it was very scary. Had the iron been turned slightly, it would have gone in my right eye and burned my face. I had hair wrapped around it at the time.

The wire clips that come with the rollers are too large at the base and the roller simply slips out.

My daughter received a Conair bubbling foot bath as a present. It was completely nonfunctional right out of the box. I plugged it in and hit the ON button, and it just didn't work. To add insult, Conair requires you send them $3 in exchange for "handling." I won't be buying anything else from them, that is for sure.

My replacement Cuisinart coffee maker model DTC 975BKN, serial number 00618, used less than 10 times, has once again overflowed onto the kitchen counter and floor. This unit is a replacement of an earlier model 975BKN that had the same problem. Coffee grounds and hot coffee were all over the counter (see enclosed picture). The coffee in the insulated carafe (about 1/3 full) before the malfunction, was lukewarm.

I purchased a Rusk Speed Freak Ceramic hair dryer a little over a month ago. As soon as I used it, within seconds, it started to catch on fire. I immediately pulled the plug out of the socket and it burned my hand. I sent it back, along with pictures of my burnt hand, to Conair who sent me a check for the product minus the taxes that I paid. There was no acknowledgment of the burn, or apology.

I have a Conair 1875. After using it and turning it off about five minutes later, it turned itself on and caught fire. I think these should be recalled. (Thank God I was still home when this happened.)

I purchased from Walmart in National City, CA. a Conair hair straightner. The model number is CS3CS. Today I plugged in the product to use it on my hair, setting it on almost the highest setting which is 30nbecause my hair is pretty thick and wavy, I have done the same other Conair straightners. I was a few minutes into straightening my hair and did not realize that the item was becoming too hot, when I placed a chunk of my hair into the plates it actually BURNED part of my hair. This has never happened before when setting the heat to the max on other products!

I purchased a Conair Hot Brush. I followed the directions on the insert. After a few seconds, I unplugged the hot brush because my hair got caught in it, about 1 inch from my scalp. This brush would not come off my hair, so I unplugged in fear that I would burn my hair or scalp. That night I tried calling the company, but it was late at night. After trying every possible method of removing this, I finally had to cut my hair with the product still attached to it. I reviewed and reviewed the package and instructions and realized that the product was in the wrong package; and the instructions were for a curling iron, not a brush. A brush should not be wound up all the way. A curling iron could be.

I have purchased a Conair Prostyle Hairdryer #1875 from Walmart in Colonial Heights, Va. The cord, while being in use, melted. Actually, it was the tip of the cord where the prongs are. This is the second dryer I have gotten from Walmart and they both have done the same thing. The first I returned and the Associate insisted that it was from a bad socket in my house, and she stated that she will do it this time. Now the second dryer has done the same thing and this time it was plugged into an extension cord not even in the same wall that it happen the last time.I feel that this is a fire hazard and also a defect that needs to be looked at before someone get seriously hurt. Their attention to the matter would be greatly appreciated and also a replacement of this product to myself. I was very upset to hear one of their associates blame me for a defective product that I purchased from one of their stores. I love to shop at Walmart but if this is the kind of service that I will get for shopping there I would rather spend my money elsewhere.

I purchased a curling iron from Conair in Feb 2007. In March 2007 it caught my hair on fire after 2 seconds or curling my hair. It took a week before I got an email back from them . I sent back the iron that had much heat damage to the extent it discolored the metal and permanetly burned off the metal were my hair was, Conair reponded 2 weeks after recieving the iron and said it was my fault. Which is imposiable. My dr will back it up. my beautican of 18 years wrote them a letter. All they claimed is it they saw a stripped screw which the mail must have done. I had the post master pack it..Then they said I have some disease of my head and that is how I basically burned bald or it is the texture of my hair they wont work with me , they are rude. and said yesterday 8 weeks after the fact they would send me 250.00 as a gesture.. Im 46 my hair is in good condition. What kind of heat will catch hair on fire after this short of time? and my hair was dry when I curled it.

I bought a conair wet to dry straightener model s3c type k71mp for in dec, 2006 for my daughter for christmas. This product worked great until just yesterday when I went and straightend her hair it burnt her hair so bad that it turned her hair bright orange and so you know she is 11 yrs old her hair was very healthy before this happened she has blode hair that has never been died or anything like that, I had to take her to Wallmart today 2/25/07 to get her hair cut. The hair dresser said her hair was healthy and this should have never happened and she has never seen this before she had to cut several inches off of my daughters beautifull hair to get most of it out there is still some hair that is burnt that if she would have cut more off it would have made her bangs pretty short.

My set of Conair Jumbo Hot rollers of which I have been using and gone thru several sets of them over the past 10 years cause I like them, started to get really hot yesterday and then today when I used them I had trouble getting them out of the base holder and found out they were actually melting inside of it and this set was only a couple months old. I have several older sets that I have saved over the years so you can see that I have been using them for a long time and I am afraid to buy another set now cause I don't know if the next set will overheat too. I have the whole set still but can't use no more since they partly melted and can show them to you.

I have a Conair hair dryer Mdl 106W 1250. Yesterday morning while I was useing it coult on fire. I called the company and sent them an e-mail. first of I was burned not bat. But if this had been a child it would have killed them. I am out of a hair dryer I need one bad Iwork in the Pentagon now.

I have a Conair 1875 hair dryer and while I was using my hair dryer today it caught on fire and shocked me. My husband opened it up to see why it would catch on fire and found that it had gotten so hot at the switch that the soder came off. I actually saw fire coming out by the cord when I threw it on the ground and pulled the plug out of the wall. My hair dryer is maybe 2 years old but it should not catch on fire in my hands.

We have a Conair hand-held hair dryer. I is a model 16oo Supermax. It is about three years old. Today, it suddenly turned on by itself (it was plugged in) and started smoking and flaming up. We unplugged it in time and were not hurt. We are just reporting that this happened to warn others. If we had not been home, it definitely could, would have caused a fire.
