ok. thanks. I was planning on getting the 512 and save a few dollars but since it is no longer on sale, will have to go with the 514.
 
I am currently in the process of convincing my husband to buy the pibbs for my very soon or use some of our tax money to get it. I want/NEED this dryer.
 
I ordered the 514 from Flamingo last Tuesday and it was delivered Thursday:grin:...the price of the dryer is 239, but with shipping and fees it was 283. The dryer is worth every penny! :yep:
 
I'm going to try to remember to email the people at flamingo, I have their number in one of my albums in case someone has time before me to call.
 
I just called and spoke with Lady over at Flamingo. She told me that the prices are due to increase on Monday! I went ahead and placed my order. I'm so excited!
 
What is the difference between the 512 and the 514? Sorry if already answered.

As long as I can get my big black rollers under one of these I'm good. Is the hood size on both the same? I'm finally considering getting one of these.....my drying time is becoming insane!

I'm reading all the responses but still confused on where is better to order from.

I would like to know this too. I would like to get the 512 and hope the large black rollers can fit securely under.

I posted in your blog, but basically I think the ability to control the actual temperature (versus just high-medium-low) is a great benefit. I don't think that there is any significant difference in the hood size...someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
 
You all were right about the prices going up soon at Flamingo:

512 - $232.99

514 - $318.99

:wallbash: I should have ordered back in December.

Ive been following this blog---excited to make my own purchase--so I had to share with you ladies my experience.

Imperial Sales IS THE WORST!!!! I am so upset that I went with them instead of Flamingo. I dont even knw where to start with all the drama I have experienced. I ordered on line Friday 1/23---got an email Monday 1/26 indicating the order was received and the package was shipped. I was set to receive it Tuesday---Tuesday I met the UPS guy at the door---one box. When I got the box inside I noticed it was damaged---a huge dent and a gapping side that you could see clear thru (the tacks had come undone). I held my breath and opened the box, sure enough due to the damage on the outside of the box and a lack of adequate packaging on the inside the visor was cracked and broken. There was no packing slip, no receipt, no warranty and no directions. I immediately contacted them. Tony wouldnt come to the phone, Karen relayed his every word to me instead. He said he would ship out a new visor and I would have it on Thursday--then he told her to tell me that the base was coming that same day (Tuesday) via FEDEX by 3. Now I thought it was strange that two different carriers were used--but I dismissed it. Well 3 came and went and no base--Wednesday I called back and again Tony would not come to the phone. At this point I sent emails to him and the customer service dept including photos of the box and the manner in which it arrived. No response. Thursday I called again---same story. At this point Im getting irritated because I still dont have the base nor a new visor. I told them that if I did not get a response by the end of the business day I would be contacting my bank and have the funds reversed. No response---so I called my Bank of America--they gladly refunded my charges. Friday I got an email from Tony saying he sent the visor out on Friday and gave me a bogus tracking number. I called and spoke to Karen again (she had not been in on Wed or Thursday). I told her about the email and before I could even finish she was like Tony said you would have the base by 3 on Tuesday and the visor on Thursday. I was like EXACTLY! I asked her to have Tony call me --of course he wouldn't come to the phone---Friday afternoon I got really irritated and told him I did not want a visor replacement---I wanted an authorized return shipping label--they can have their busted dryer hood back! I am so pissed!!!
Not once did Tony (who is supposed to be in charge) address any of my concerns--horrible customer service.

After this ^^^ post, I am SO afraid of ordering from Imperial Sales though.

FYI... Imperial Sales did not answer one of my emails to them to replace my dryer that doesn't get as hot as it should. It is now over a year since I bought it so I am just stuck. Honestly, I wouldn't do business with them again. This is MY personal opinion. Many have ordered from them and experienced no problems at all.
 
Thanks for the heads up ladies. Do any of you have the web address to flamingo? I would like to check out the prices.

TIA
 
I am very sorry to hear mimi0410 that your order ended up a nightmare :(.

I have just been very busy with tax season, I will try to send a follow up email to flamingo this week to see if they are still cool with the deal.

I wasn't able to order my dryer originally because of the darn job market and other crap so I too still want the dryer.

will update as soon as I hear something from Flamingo.
