how can I distinguish an authentic pyt flatiron from a replica?

I believe that a replica won't last as long as an authentic pyt flat iron. & also, it won't give you enough shine in you hair. If you want great quality, get the real thing. Don't settle because it won't give you the same results. I hope this helped.

The plates on real PYT feel different like a lot slicker, they have a little bit more weight to them and colored ones don't look like whatever color is on here was like wallpapered on there

Mine was real. They have a stamp on the bottom if real. I looked into it before I bought mine.

I have also read those reviews. The details to determine if it is counterfeit or not lay in the details of the writing on the body and materials in the prop assembly. The Syma I received proved not to be counterfeit. I don't know if they all are legitimate, but I know for sure the one I received absolutely was. I hope this helps!

I bought one before. I have to return bc it was not original, it was a replica. So make sure you ask first to the owner

Only thing I can suggest is to take one of the originals to a hardware store, and see if they can match it?

The set in question does not arrive as described and although sold as original, it appears to be a knock-off.

I ordered one and it was not authentic. I called Amazon customer support and explained the problem. They said they "do not tolerate merchants selling knock offs" and sent me a new one overnight (and said that I should send back the first one). They said they would call to check if the replacement was authentic. The replacement arrived and it too was not authentic, so I ended up returning that one as well. I echo the "buyer beware." I don't care if this one is $100.00, if I'm going to pay $150+ for a hair dryer, it better be the real deal. I'm going elsewhere.

I've purchased both sizes in the past and had no problems with their being fakes. Model number etc is located under nozzle. I've never had a problem with items purchased through Amazon.

I don't know how you can tell online but when I bought this one it was not original. I don't have proof of this but the plastic texture felt different, the ceramic did not get as hot, and the circuitry seemed wrong and beeped a lot. It looked official in nice box and with hologram sticker so I don't know how you could tell at first glance.

I don't think it's a knockoff. It says "joby" on the side. Otherwise I wouldn't know? Seems to be good quality, I'm happy with it.

I was able to register the equipment and load updates from the website, therefore I must assume it is original. Works well.

Yes, all of our products are Authentic. We guarantee it. These flat irons were purchased directly from Conair the manufacturer, and the mother company of BabyLissPRO. The price has been discounted to us from Conair, and we are passing the savings to you. This is a high quality iron, do not let the price scare you! :)

The one I bought looks like the picture-it's flat. That doesn't mean they will sell you the same thing since it's been a long time since I bought mine. Need to ask the seller.

Make sure the seller indicates it genuine. The one I received from Bravoappliance was in original box. The one I received from LPemart was nfot and a carbon steel shaft which rusted almost immediately. LPemart immediately corrected to original type on my complaint.

Mine was original and if it was counterfeit they did an amazing job. Works great as always.
