I have one of these and use it all the time. I have never had any problems with flaking. Love it!

Eastman fixed the flaking problem long ago. My original pan from a few years ago flaked. Eastman replaced it and the new one has what appears to be an enamel finish. Ive used it many times since with no issues.

I have had mine for approx. 3-4 years and have not had a flake yet. Love it!

I used it for a week then it broke. 3 weeks later I got a replacement from Trial. I have sun damaged skin and have used it for 3 weeks now. I have seen some improvement in fine lines. I did buy a pricey skin cream to use as well as the Clarisonic Opal.

Sorry to hear that Jill. We are on our 4th box and the texture has been fairly consistent. What I have noticed is that the size of the "flake" might be dependent on how much the box was adjutated during shipping.

Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron. I took a chance and bought the Conair YOU flat iron....while it doesn't get super hot (two settings hi-lo)...it has "plates" that curve around the sides which seem to deal well with the rough ends issue. It works best if you've straightened your hair with a round brush and hair dryer first....which is what I typically do. If you're going from wavy to straight the Conair You won't be hot enough. The Infinity Pro I ended up returning it was awful. Here's the link to the other if you want to check it out :) Conair YOU Style Straightener Hi Turtlesaver...thought I'd share with you this update on another flat iron.

Yes with patience this is very possible i use the stuff for tons of random things. Yes i would remove all flaking material then lightly wipe it clean and dip careful not to fill any important holes is my only fear but could possibly go back with a needle and re puncture the existing holes.

I found that it just really softens the area, allowing you to file them off easier than if you didn't use it. I never had the flaking other people have described.

I have deep red hair and I have not seen any flaking. I've been using it now for 2 1/2 weeks. Awesome mousse !!

I had the same creasing issues with mine that arrived today. Because the IOS app only works with Iphones (and not IPADS) I am stuck waiting until they release the app for Android. All in all, looks promising, but this is off to a bad start IMHO.

This product was announced nearly two months back, and available for a few weeks now, but I am yet to see a professional review. Any pointer to one? Just curious.

Good morning!I've been using mine for a few months now (every day) and I have not had any issues - phew! :o)I usually buy a new diffuser about once a year and so far this one has been great!

Hi - I've been using this for probably over a year now and I have not seen any flakes. Great little beater for the price.

Hey Jessica. I like this brand in general and it gives decent volume, but I had a lot of flaking with it.

Yes, I saw that review, too. I will start by saying I have three cast iron teapots. A green one for green teas, a blue one for black teas, and this one for herbal, fruity or flavored teas. I do not SCRUB my cast iron teapots but I do wash and rinse them out from time-to-time. I have not observed anything flaking off in any of my teapots. This one appears to be just as good as the green one I purchased some years ago from Teavana for almost double the price of this one.

Good question! I'm in the same boat and was wanting to try one but it's been over a month and no reply. Makes you think that customer service is non existent and they could care less if you like their product or even if you buy one at all.

I've had mine for almost 2 years. No problem. Don't see why there'd be any flaking - there's nothing that would scraoe or scratch it.

I don't know if it's been solved as of today 11-21-13 but when I bought one earlier this year (late summer) it was the main problem that made me decide to send it back. They were excellent about returns so you could try it, if you like, relatively risk free.

While I have not done the "white bowl" test, I originally tried a Waring and did not like flakes as you described. The BlendTec did not stir up the ingredients well enough so I always had fruit lumps and returned it. Our first Hamilton Beach with Wave Action was in 2000 and we only had to replace it a couple years ago. The Wave Action really works. It doesn't have the gimmicks like other competitors and it isn't sexy looking, but what it does is flat out get the job done and I would never buy anything else.
