How old is your GHD iron?

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?

I avoided this thread yesterday as I don't want to jinx my trusty ghd's

Mine are 7 years old too. They work abroad and have been used at least every other day. Such a good investment.

Mine lasted 7yrs before my OH left them in a considerable amount of water Hmm I have new ones now (they seem more flimsy and just not as good though).

9 years old - this has surprised me actually! It's as good as new :)

Used most days for straightening/fringe correcting/curling, whichever I'm in the mood for.

Am very much on board with investing in good quality, long-lasting everything these days :)
