Can't comment on how long it lasts because I've only had it for a few weeks, but so far, couldn't be happier. It heats up fast, is comfortable, doesn't snag, glides easily over the hair, and most of all, does an excellent job of straightening. I have very thick, curly hair, so need a good straightener. I've always used a GHD but after the plates wore on my last one I decided to give another brand a go. After pouring over many reviews, I decided on this one. It was on special at Hairhouse Warehouse so worked out a third of the price of a GHD, but it's every bit as good. Definitely give it a go, I doubt you will be disappointed.

Its a fantastic straightner with great results but ive gone thru 2 in 2 years.
First one died after 2 months.. wouldnt turn on
2nd after a year, overheated singed my hair now wont turn on again

Don't have an issue with the performance of the straightener as far as whether it worked well during its short life, however found the straightener to be cheaply manufactured, with little parts of the unit becoming loose, and falling off entirely (eg. the little silver oval around the temperature display). Straightener gave me approximately 16 months of good daily straightening despite my little plastic pieces missing...and then promptly died on my a few mornings ago and refuses to turn on. Have replaced it with a Halo Farrah, hoping this one lasts a little longer.

Heats up fast. Works well on my thick frizzy hair. It doesn't snag & its nice & light. It beeps when heating up, to let you know that its ready.

I was advised that this was the best one on the market. First straighter buzzed loudly had lose plates and was faulty at power on. Second one burns my hair so badly it stinks even with heat protector treatment.

During the first one week it was good but after one week the red light flashes and it refuses to heat. I spent 1 hr re plugging it and pressing the on button but it just refused to heat up and only the red light was on. As I had to get to work, I was almost crying and I used my old flat iron emjoi to iron my hair and during that process Muk was at the edge of the table and it fell down and broke. I am really frustrated. My money is wasted.

I was recommended this product by 2 hairdressers and after always using a GHD I was reluctant to change but I am so glad that I did.
It glides so smoothly over my normally frizzy hair and maintains straightened hair for longer .I was able to trial it at a Price Attack store and was amazed at the instant results. Combined with a protector spray it has given me the smooth hair that I have always only dreamed of.
I purchased the wider plate for my thick hair and it was worth the extra $50. It heats up fast and to a high but safe temperature and my hair feels so silky.
You will never regret purchasing a MUK.

My GHD was dying. Everyone was trying to sell me different brands. I was confused! Went to Hairhouse Warehouse and they let me try a lot of Brands!!! The MUK was the best. Love it! The best straightener I have ever had in 15 years!

When first got this it worked well, but doesn't straighten my hair properly. It leaves it with a curl at the end all the time, or it lasts for 30 minutes then goes frizzy and starts curling up again. overall not happy and want a refund of this product

Looks great over a GHD..don't have to iron repeatedly over a thick strand of hair to get the desired result..great design too.. temperature control setting is a great feature.. more features than a GHD for the same price.. adds shine to your hair

Bought from hairhouse warehouse after my ghd died. I didnt have $300+ to buy a 'top of the line' straightener. Got the sales assistant to show me how this and another straightener worked on my hair. I have fine, flyaway hair with little frizzies. This is a quality product and i honestly could not be happier. I can't imagine a more expensive option could leave my hair any more sleek, straight and shiny! The temperature control, digital display, infra-red plate, and ionic generator are some of the features that help to deliver such perfect results. I promised myself if this straightener was a goodie I'd write a review so here it is!
