Do People Still Use The Maxiglide?

I did a search and hadn't seen many posts about it in awhile. Apparently they have a newer model but the only place I've seen it is on QVC.

I bought one a while back from hsn, and it broke the 2nd time I straightened, so I returned it.

I still have mine and break it out occasionally. But I only straighten in fall and winter. Now let me mosey on over to check out the new one

I have one, it's still working fine but I hardly straighten my hair

I just used my mini maxiglide this morning.
eta: I can't remember the last time I used it before today. I've had it for at least 9years

I have one that I bought a few years back, but I haven't used it in a long time.

I haven't used mine in a long time. I haven't straightened my hair in a long time either. When I used to use it, I always felt like the pins were ripping out my hair

I thought about pulling mine out a few days ago because it has been so dry where I am. It has never been my favorite iron but it does help with moisture retention. It also doesn't give me that stick straight look and I've been wanting more body lately so I still might use it soon.

ETA: That looks like the exact same iron with colors and a digital dial added. I'd get another one if they made the reservoir bigger.

Thanks for that. I'm looking to give it a try just for the steam functionality, the little grooves on the plates were concerning though

I would do more research into steam irons. I believe other brands make them now.

The maxiglide is too thick to really reach the roots of your hair. A thinner iron is easier to maneuver.

I only use the mini glide for my edges. I threw out the maximum glide a while ago

If anyone was looking at the new version of the Maxiglide on QVC, it's not worth the money. I don't know how the old one worked but this one doesn't really put out any steam. My Babyliss Pro TT steam flat iron was more effective a steam flat iron than this. It got returned.

I have a MaxiGlide (my 2nd one) that I've had for a number of years. I also had the original one as well, which I thought was better than the 2nd, newer one I got, which I purchased to replace the original when it broke. I use mine once a year in December, keeping my hair straight for only a week or two (I like the idea of putting water on my hair to keep it moisturized).

 

[CurlyMoo]

Yes just used it a week ago.
I got the biggest one Maxiglide XP.
The steam burst feature isn't working right though.

Looks like the new one has a temp display.
I like that. Not sure I will rush out and get a new one.

My Maxiglide broke for good. It was the only thing that ever straightened my hair properly. What should I consider to replace it?
