So, I just recived my first flat iron. the very back of the connect of power is moving, im not sure is dis normal or just dats the way its??

not if you mean turning the cable. That's normal because it gives the full turn to when we use the iron cable not have to twist and turn it, especially when we do some curls with the iron. I hope my answer serves you.

Hmmm.. I'm holding mine and looking at the same area on the flat iron (i think)...Where the power cord connects to the body of the flat iron it does move. In fact it rotates all the way around, so that you don't end up with a tangled cord all the time, like on most appliances. If that's where you mean...then the answer is "yes". If some other area...then the answer is "no"

If it's moving in a circular motion it's what it's supposed to do. That's a swivel cord which keeps it from tangling as much.

Yes, and I asked my Electrician and he said this was normal. I do not know if this is true but I took his word for it. You might want to check with GE

Yes I have experienced that, glad to know it is not my wiring. It is kind of annoying and I guess could be dangerous, but I love the charger and makita tools so I can live with it. also if one expects it then it is not as alarming.

Just an idea either you are not pushing the head down far enough as there should only be a slight gap between the power unit and the brush head OR you might be trying to put it on 180 degrees out of where it should be. The brush should be on the same side as the switch

I too have noticed that sometimes. I think it has a lot to do with the angle of the flat iron. Or how much hair you put on the flat iron. If you put a small section of hair on the flatiron and position it in the middle of th blue pallet, that seems to reduce the chaces of that snagging thing. Yes; its sort of annoying and it can be a problem. Still a great flatiron I think!

I think that's normal, mine is like that too, and yet it's attaching and working well, right? Hope this helps :)

I asked the same question to manufacturer; they said yes it was normal. Sometimes my fan would not even start until there was enough heat generated for it kick in. I can only surmise that the machine is smarter than me!

Try a lower heat. Most flat irons are too hot but there are some that have adjustable heat settings

After doing a search for dual voltage flat irons, I ordered this one. When it arrived, there was nothing on the packaging or the product itself to make me think it actually was dual voltage. I came back to the website to double-check my information. I read again customers' claims that it is indeed dual voltage. I went over to the wall and, using a plug converter (from American flat to European round prongs), plugged it in. No sparks, no blown fuses. I live in Europe, and I wonder if the product will require replacement sooner than if I were in the States, but I'll cross that bridge later. I don't use a flat iron very often, so it may not be an issue. After doing a search for dual voltage flat irons, I ordered this one.

I can't tell you... It may be a defect because mine seems to be as hot at the top as it does on the bottom... You should try to contact the manufacturer about that problem. If its an electrical issue, you don't want it to turn bad.

This is not normal. I have bought 6 of these and none have had wire protruding. I think it's a manufacturer's defect. They should replace it for you.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!

I answered you incorrectly, I'm so sorry. I looked at the wrong flat iron. This is NOT dual voltage. Just a suggestion, don't buy one and get a voltage converter! I made that mistake once and it ruined my flat iron on the first use. Buy dual voltage or an inexpensive one when you get there (which is what I ended up doing). Good luck safe travels!

When you first plug it in it will not heat up unless you actually press the button(s) selecting which fabric/temperature you will be pressing. If you are idle for a while and the iron is not being used then the iron shuts itself off. I have only had this iron two months and it is already malfunctioning - while I am ironing/pressing, it will shut itself off and I have to re-press the button selection to get it going again. I am looking into buying an iron with a separate water resevoir so I can have continuous steam while pressing.

Richard, If you've never used it, and it came out of the shipping box that way she was dammaged prior to shipping, or mfg. flaw. Prongs are supposed to be straight. No in, out, left or right. Sir I hope it helps you. Best wishes.. Dennis US Army Ret.

Mine does the same thing, I ordered another one so I can try to bend it to see if that will straighten it out. It's normal

tough question sight un seen but sounds like your attaching the load wire to same termination bracket. also the outlet may be defective. If it is doing it on more than just one then it is the attachment location that is wrong.
