How old are your GHD irons?

I had to get a new GHD iron last week - simply because my old one does not work when I travel to the USA. The older versions were simply not dual voltage. However, I still use the old one most of the time when I'm in the UK.

I checked when I got my old one - and was a little surprised. It's over 7 years old now. Yeah, I know that things should last long, but I was seriously surprised it's still going. I know we live in a buy and throw society, so may have gotten used to things not working longer than the warranty allows…

How old is yours?

Mine stopped working after about 6 years.

Mines are now 9 years old . They are still working ok but getting a bit burnt I think there may only be one or two years left in them .

Mine are 7 years almost. They were a wedding present from Dh and I took them on honeymoon to St Lucia and they worked fine

About 10 years, they did break and were replaced, but that was quite early on. Have had this exact pair for about 10 years.

7 or 8 years. I re-wired them on to a new plug last week because the cable had gone a bit loose. Such a quality product. Worth every penny for longevity and number of uses.

8 years with a dodgy plug!
