Nize size, but the plastic on the plastic get hot and burn your fingers when you roll your hair.

Biggest hot curlers on the market, but flawed. - Sheri, Jan 21, 2007

Turning frizzy hair into sleek, nearly-straight waves requires really BIG hot rollers. This set has five extra-large rollers, the largest I've ever found, and no useless smaller ones. (Don't buy two sets. Buy one set and order extra rollers with the enclosed order form.)

It really works, if you can put up with some inconveniences:

Wear gloves when handling the heated rollers. The cool tip is too small, and the plastic edges are too hot to handle.

The clamps leave a horizontal "dent" in the curl. Fix it with a hair dryer and styling brush after removing the rollers.

For travel or storage, find a large rubber band to secure the lid. It does not snap into place.

Heed the warning and keep out of reach of children. The heating plate is exposed and the curlers are *very* hot.

If you cannot tolerate the inconveniences, consider Conair's "Big Curl", with slightly smaller rollers--and a loopy curl--but superior product design.

For the smoothest waves, get this set.

New, maybe, but not improved - Phil Peterson, Jan 11, 2007

These rollers replace the Revlon Radiance travel rollers. Pro: it packs flatter than the Revlon Radiance did.
Con: takes dam near forever to heat up (15 minutes & not a second less). When you're trying to get ready to go out, those extra 12 minutes are virtually unbearable. The reason it takes longer is that the heating elements just touch the bottoms of the rollers, unlike the Revlon Radiance who's heating elements went up through the center of the rollers. The stumpy heating elements are the cause of another problem, & that's keeping the rollers in place on the heater. They tend to be a bit wobbly.
Other than that, it does what it needs to do.

Not good for travel - D. Geist, Aug 11, 2006

The Helen of Troy Hot Setter burned my fingers and only caused me much frustration. The top of the container doesn't fit securely and the curlers fall off the spindle holder very easily. The clips don't have a place to be stored so where's the travel convenience in that? I would have to create a container just for these curlers and clips while traveling or search for them all rumpled around in my suitcase. I only used it once and returned it.

Perfect! - Virginia Hausegger, Aug 04, 2006

These work out just fine for me. They are quite large, which is exactly what I need. I found them very easy to handle when hot. Very impressed!
