On folica.com, some reviewers stated there's a difference in performance between black iron vs. the pink iron. Have you noticed a difference?

I have the black model which I have been very satisfied. Having no experience with the pink iron, I cannot compare their performance so I guess the only response would be to buy the black model.

I never purchased the pink iron so I have no experience with it. I am however very satisfied with the black iron.

Bought the black one from folica.com about 12 years ago. It lasted for 11 years. Last year, I bought the purple one from Amazon and I do believe there is a difference. I don't know if it's the manufacturer going cheap over the years or if the purple one is actually cheaper. For the most part, the purple one feels substantially lighter. I think the black one was more solid and the purple feels like plastic pieces attached to the base. I also don't think that the purple one gets as hot or straightens as well as the black one. Two small pieces (black buttons on the side) have also fell off of the purple one after very limited use. Very disappointed in my new flat iron.

I have only used the blue so I can't compare them but I absolutely love the performance of the blue. Smooth and silky and no hair pulling, lol �

Both of the Solia irons I purchased are black. I can say that I love both of them. I've owned one for over 2 years and haven't had any problems.

I ordered both, black and pink sets, to use with different colored, same product/formula/manufacturer foundations and can not tell a difference at all between the two outside of color. I absolutely love this line of original beauty blender sponges. The knockoffs I found to be no where near the same product outside of perhaps shape and color; the material the knockoffs are made of do not have the same durable, fine texture or soft flexibility to provide the same type of even coverage that both the black and pink versions of this original applicator have. You will not regret purchasing these.

I honestly haven't noticed any design flaws. This works better than any other iron I have ever owned. What have you noticed?

I only buy the ones where the word "Foundation" is in pink and "Top It Off" is in blue. I have had no problems with these. I was unaware there was a difference, but would now be skeptical of buying the ones in gray now.

The black color of the sponge doesn't bleed like the pink color did. It makes foundation in the sponge look more apparent, however.In addition, upon receiving a genuine set of black sponges, I feel they are skinnier and somewhat less soft than the pink ones.

I love my iron. It is pricy and that is the reason I thought about if for so long. There is not much difference between the two and mine was a gift for Christmas. I didn't try the yellow one so I don't know the answer to your question but if you read the reviews they are much the same.

If you google complaints about this iron, you will find, as I did, many complaints about this iron and problems with leakage. Apparently this is a big problem. It was with me. I just threw out my second rowenta for the same problem. It was only a little over a year old and not heavily used. So, I switched from the a Rowenta that I paid about $170.00 for to a Black and Decker that cost lest than $40.00. The Black and decker has a smaller plate and is lighter and ..........it irons better and quicker and without a long wait time to heat. Buy it but reads the reviews first. Believe them.

Well I think the product is not real in despite the hair look like other Irons. I was comparing this Iron with the real Babyliss and it has not many parts as real babyliss. Sorry it is my opinion. Is a good copy but your hair never look as well as when you use a original babyliss.

I do not know. My best friend showed me her iron and said how much she liked so I bought the same one. I did not compare the features.

Hell, We carry the hot pink iron and we are out of stock of the black one. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I compared the products as well. The only difference that I can see is the pink label! :-(

I really don't know if there is any difference between the black or red models I have the black and I love it I wouldn't trade it for the world,it's the best as far as I'm concerned.

I've used the pink one before, and purchased the white one recently. I feel a slight difference between the two, but I do prefer the white one!

I need a dependable iron (meaning one for YEARS not months/days) that does well with cottons and synthetics but I use a spray bottle--not trusting even bottled water to save an of today's irons from spitting....I just want one that will get hot and stay hot when I am ironing cottons...the two irons I am currently using in separate locations don't seem to get very hot.

I've never tried black one. The reason I bought the purple one, because the rating was better and I bought it for my wife. But in my point of view they should be the same.

There isn't any difference in the product. It is only priced higher because it is pink.

I've had this for 6 months and have not noticed any lengthier heat up time from previous irons I've used in the past. That said, I typically do a big batch of clothes at a time as opposed to ironing a piece of clothing while getting ready to go somewhere where I'm more sensitive to time. But its on part with other Irons I've used.
