To call this a Travel Hairsetter is a joke. The heating rollers worked fine, they heated quickly, and the clips held my long hair without any problem. If you want this for travel (as advertised), forget it. If you want to use this for normal everyday home use, should not be a problem. The issue is - this is NOT travel size - case is way too large and delicate plastic. There is no storage for the clips.
The plastic clips don't hold my hair very well and are too bulky to pack in a suitcase. However, these rollers take about 10 minutes to fully heat and never really get hot enough. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't purcahse these rollers. I bought this set to replace a set of jumbo rollers by BabyBliss. The case looks identical and the rollers are exactly the same.
The instructions actually say to pull the plug out when you are finished. Bought these to augment an existing set of Conair rollers with 4 jumbos (the only size I use), 8 med-lg rollers and unwieldy clips that randomly spring off my head and launch in different directions. Ultimately, I felt compelled to give the Conair TS7N two stars because it takes up very little space and the rollers heat up quickly. This seems to contradict conventional thinking that it is risky or perhaps even dangerous to yank a plug out of a socket before turning the appliance off. Turns out, these are the same size rollers as the smaller, superfluous ones I already own and the clips, though better-behaved than the originals, leave nasty creases in my hair. Even worse, the unit was designed without an on/off switch.
You would probably need at least 10 rollers. There is nothing wrong with these, they are definitely compact and easy to use they just weren't great if you have thick hair and a lot of it. I have very thick hair and there were not enough rollers. I wasn't trying to do all my hair just some.
Oh, and they're also terrible for travel. The clips leave marks on your hair, hold the curlers poorly, and were replaced by Conair in later models of this product. Do NOT buy these. I used to own a newer version of these curlers, and those were fantastic. The size is good for a sink, not a suitcase. What a mistake. When mine broke, I bought these. These do NOT get hot no matter how long you leave them plugged, and they still come with the terrible clips instead of normal metal holders.
