A number of the 1 star reviews seem to indicates fakes are being sold on here. If it says sold by Amazon is that a guarantee that it is authentic?

There is a chance they could be fake, and amazon wasn't informed, but most likely they aren't fake because amazon wouldn't want to have a bad reputation. :)

Amazon is a Real Techniques authorized dealer, so if it is sold by Amazon, it is authentic.

It's the real deal. The sellers here are probably selling it wholesale, but don't quote me on that.

It is legitimate. I've been buying it on Amazon for about 4 years now and have never gotten a knock off.

Mines were authentic. I always only buy amazon fullfilled orders. If there is a problem money is refunded as soon as product is returned via shipper. Especially when using Prime.

How do you know that this is fake and paid for reviews? Do you have any proof to back this up? I would be very interested, as I ordered this product and hate to waste money on products due to the reviews. Why would Amazon let this happen and Dr, Oz? I need to hear more about this.

Personally, The one I have looks exactly like the picture. I don't know much about fakes, but as for me, I check product and reviews before buying any product.

I ordered one and it was not authentic. I called Amazon customer support and explained the problem. They said they "do not tolerate merchants selling knock offs" and sent me a new one overnight (and said that I should send back the first one). They said they would call to check if the replacement was authentic. The replacement arrived and it too was not authentic, so I ended up returning that one as well. I echo the "buyer beware." I don't care if this one is $100.00, if I'm going to pay $150+ for a hair dryer, it better be the real deal. I'm going elsewhere.

It was described to be authentic by the seller and that is why I purchased it. I'm not sure if it was sold to me authentic or not. Hope it helps.

Hello Jungsu. I have purchased a number of items online and the best way to protect yourself is by looking at the feedback other's have left about the vendor. Also look at the reviews written about the product. I purchased mine and it is genuine.Good luck

Any product that is fulfilled by Amazon is authentic, but as another commenter pointed out, warranties may or may not be applicable. Always check warranty status before buying!

You gotta watch what seller it's from. Amazon sometimes just like lumps all the reviews into one product page. If it ships from China, it's probably a bootleg. If it's from Japan, it's probably legit.

I have no idea about guarantees, but they're just as real as the first ones I bought, which were the "real deal". I don't think Amazon could get by with selling them as a "name brand" if they were fakes.

Beware of answers insisting these are legit. They are probably from sellers. They insist they can be registered when they cannot. Amazon doesn't care if the stuff is real anymore. A shame.

It's real. One way to always know is if it is shipped and sold through amazon it's legit. If it's sold by a another company that's when you really want to question it.

The one I received seems to be the real deal. I ordered it directly from Amazon rather than one of Amazon's third-party sellers, however.

Yes I believe it is real. I think all shipments have an authentication code where you can log on to their website and check to see if it is real.

I'm sure if Amazon is marketing and fulfilling the order then there is nothing to worry about. I have heard many stories of fake models out there but I would highly doubt Amazon would be selling fakes. I purchased mine from Amazon so perhaps it was from the same company and it still works like a dream many years later.
