I bought this flat iron with a twist dial 6 years ago. I bought a new one and it came with a digital temp dial. Does the newversion work the same?

I have both the turn dial and the digital. I love them both. I personally like the digital one better because I can see the temperature much easier. Heating up time seems to be the same, by far the best flat iron I've ever had.

The new one has a better handle and swiffer head. It does not flip and I find the lengthof staff with a comfortable knob to hold onto makes it so much easier to use in odd places. Good luck with a new one.

Just hold down the "down" temp button until the the padlock shows next to the temperature. To unlock, do the same thing until the padlock disappears (it beeps too). If I don't lock the buttons it IS really easy to mess with the temperature settings. Hope this helps. I love this straightener.

I don't know about the temperature ratings, but this replacement knob is not identical to the original: it is somewhat bigger, fuller, and very solid. It's a good knob, and looks quite good. I don't recall the difference in the temperature ratings -- but since this knob is not identical is shape to the original, I'm not surprised that there is a difference.

I called the company and they suggested flipping the unit over and removing the cover from the digital display. If there are dip switches on the digital display board then you can change to Fahrenheit. If there are no dip switches then you can't change to Fahrenheit. My suggestion is to find a good temp and Google the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion just so you get an idea. You'll get used to Celsius.

Personally i can really see a difference. I have medium thick wavy hair and when i straighten my hair with the ICD iron it flows threw like butter and doesn't pull my hair. The digital readout allowed for exact temperature control helping prevent damaged hair

I have tried them both (both 1") and much prefer the turbo. regular: one heat setting, gets HOT near the plates, on/off in an awkward spot turbo: variable heat settings, flashes a light when turned on (helps remember to turn it off), doesn't get hot near plates - a little warm, but not bad. they both straighten very well, but for the extra $20 I'd for sure choose the turbo. the only problem i've encountered is that the turbo electrical seems to crap out after 2 yrs of use. but still i'd buy one over a cheaper iron as it doesn't pull my hair out, etc.

I was ready to buy the Rowenta Advancer, but based on your review I am rethinking this model. Do you have any suggestions for a another brand or model iron? I own a DZ1700 which doesn't get hot enough to press linen. I just want a good heavy high-wattage iron with a pointy tip for pressing the tight spots.

I've used this iron for several months now and very happy with it. Time from turn on to 725 degrees is about 30 seconds. Spare heat element and lots of tips to choose from too. In my opinion it's a great iron at a very good price.

The dial does have analog markings for temperature; though the picture might not show it. I put an actual thermometer in mine to fine-tune it. Hope that helps.

It curls as good as my other flat iron, a one inch Revlon straightener that I thinks gets to about 425°, so it works pretty well. If you use hairspray on the curl itll last longer too. But it does a good job on its own for curls.

Hi Jennifer,Make sure to buy a universal adapter when traveling oversea this shouldnot affects the temperature setting.I used this flat iron in Montreal had no problems,but always check your setting before using.Have fun traveling.

It sure does! I forgot how the dials are configured, but the heat settings aren't "low, med, high". They're numerical.

No, and it does not have a temp. Adjuster. Although.... It works fantastic!! Best flat iron, I have ever owned.

Worked for me too. THANK YOU!I held down the +, THEN turned on the Flip. Was brought into Setup and changed the date/saved it by pressing arrow as was displayed. It appeared to be changed. Not sure how to check it, but will call it a plus to get this far. Just learning how to do video now.Thanks again.Rozhttp://www.RozOnTwitter.com

The temp will go down, just turn quickly but gently.I just purchased a turner anxious to see how it works out.

I received the FX-888 with the knob for temp control, my friend has the digital version but does not like it as much... harder to calibrate he says. Hope that helps.
