I have this item and it is getting harder and harder to turn off. Is this the problem reviewer 'Desert Gypsy' was having?

I had the same problem and used cord to turn it on and off. When I burnt it out traveling overseas I replaced it with same one anyway. It's a shame because it's a great straightener. Maybe company will help if you contact them. I never tried.

I'm pretty sure it's "hot", the trigger just causes the wire to feed. I don't see why that would be a big deal. Turn the thing off when not in immediate use. Probably some regulatory goon, industry or union person looking for an "issue" to limit competition.

Have not tried to turn off. Not sure why I would want to? Came on when I turned it on. Set to auto and have not given a thought since. Air in office has never been cleaner. Dust, pollens almost totally elimanated. Just tried it and with unit on, held down for about 3 sec and the plasmawave went off. Pushed power button down again for 3 sec and came back on. All without unit turning off.

No, that is not normal, I have mine for two years. Are you sure it off and not just on the low mode, it is very quite.I believe there is a timer feature, make sure it is not set to go off automatically. Return it if it ahs a problem.

My old one had a finicky on off switch too, you had to get it in exactly the right place of it might hum but not vibrate. Just broke after about ten years. As an aging weekend warrior, I can't live without it so I will be buying a new one.

Hi! Honestly, I don't think it is a problem type of thing...rather an additional feature that advises you that (as if you didn't know it already I suppose..hehe) the laptop has been jostled and it does a protective maneuver to preclude any injury to the hard drive. I see it as a good thing and, perhaps, a new safety feature. That said, I turned the notice off also. :)

I have the same issue. It is just one of those things you're going to have to deal with. You can try maybe looking at the owners manual but I have never seen anything for it. Sorry I couldn't help!

I'm really not sure...I haven't changed modes. Why not play it safe and turn it off. Rich Green

I too have not found anyway around it. It is horribly annoying and jarring. Especially when your teenagers unpair it after midnight. Startles the heck out of me!

Hi, If the item is very hot (after a long time using), you may switch it off and then switch on again.

Mine does the same thing. It stays on indefinitely, so must be a timer issue. I have contacted Amazon and they are sending a replacement.

I have the same thing! It's really annoying!! I might write to the company and see if we can get a replacement.

I have to replace them often. Frustrating. I loved it until I used it regularly. You can't turn it off manually. This is part of the problem.

Hello Jade, mine is the same way. Try to turn the on/off switch a few times. That sometimes keep it on a bit longer. Hope this helps.

i think there is a turn (off /on) tab on the back side. or simply unplug it. i always leave mine on but its up to you.

I haven't used mine yet but plan to soon. I've heard from other reviewers that you must remove the batteries to turn the device off, so maybe that's part of the problem.
