Does it really reach 400 degrees? Reviews suggest it dosn't get hot enough.

It does not reach 400 degrees. It is just a quick fix for when you are traveling. I like it for my bangs. It has a low level of heat and it will not do your entire hair (especially if you hair is thick). I bought it for long plane rides when I didn't have a plug and needed a quick fix.

If I wouldn't have thrown away the box, I would have returned this! It did not get to 400 degrees nor did it stay charged very long. I was not very impressed!

400? It doesn't seem like it. It gets hot enough to fix some frizzy strands that have been previously straightened using a full size iron. I could not use it as a primary iron. Good to stash in bag or car for a touch up on the go.

No. I bought this because I was going to Israel and was told not to bring hair dryer and straightener/curling iron. I only used it to straighten my bands and a little bit of top layer. It did okay.

A.R., I ordered the Jet Setter a few months ago for my wife and she loves it. It get plenty hot for her in fact she lowers the temp on hers when she uses it.

NO!! It will only get between 45-50 degrees. Just hot enought for it to melt ice. Sorry!

No. It only gets to about 20 degrees (F) above room temperature. 80 degrees to 90, max.

Hi, I don't think so as my wife has thick hair and did ok but It didn't get hot enough , she needs one that gets up to 124 degrees

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41º F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

Heat is not adjustable, can only turn on or off. Gets to almost 400 degrees F. Hope that helps.

No. It does not get hot, just warm. The person whom said theirs gets hot must have a defense to be one.

It does heat up to very high temps. They provide a glove and a little cap for the end of the wand so you can stabilize it. I can't find anywhere that says a degree temperature (for example: 400 degrees).

Yes, though it discourages temps above 125 degrees. I believe there are work arounds, but honestly 125 seems plenty hot to me. I hope that helps.

I tried and it does not get hot enough. As for heating, it throws a lot of heat.

I have just adjusted it as high as it will go -96 degrees! Hopefully, you will never need to turn it up that high.

"hot enough" may not help you. More specifically, two temp settings are approximately 480F/250C and 660F/350C.

I really don't know for sure we bought this a few months ago and haven't had any problems yet with it being too hot. It seems cool enough but it's still cold weather.

I don't honestly know. We were concerned running at the highest temperature. It does cool good though

I've used it at 400 degrees F without any problems. The product description says, "Temperature resistant from 446°F (230°C) to -40°F (-40°C)" which I think is straight off the packaging.

I've used it up to 400° and so far so good. I don't think there is anything on the packaging material that says anything about oven temp.

Don't have the exact temperature but remember that it is close to 500 degrees (I have used it on items heated to 450 and it was fine).
