On December 26 we bought a Corioliss, hairstraightener from Corioliss stand in Chadstone, Victoria, Australia for $200. 3 days later it fell from the low make up table onto soft carper. One ceramic plate shattered. The girl who sold it to us said she had never seen anything like it. Returned to supplier who offered to replace it for half price. We objected because if the saleslady had not had one break before, it must have had a manufacturing fault. Reply was: take it or leave it. We do not intend to give another $100 to someone who will not stand by the product they sell. Lessons: Remember, it fell 70 cm onto soft carpet. The Victorian supplier refused to communicate with me - he has my money - job done. Corioliss straithteners are dodgy products that break very easily and the warranty is not worth the paper its written on. Do not buy from Corioliss.
