I was suspicious when I found this product for $30 at a beauty supply place. That seemed kind of low for 30 heated rollers. I got even more suspicious when I found out that they were "just" sponge rollers and had to be "heated" one at a time.
I gave it a try anyway, since I haven't had much luck with conventional dry hot rollers. This unit shoots hot steam through each roller, which takes only a few seconds apiece, so you heat them as you go. You can also steam-heat the clips (they call them "shields") so the hair on the roller gets heated from both sides. Then you can just let them cool off on their own, or help them along with a hair dryer.
I still had my doubts about this product since the rollers, when steamed, didn't seem very hot (compared to regular dry hot rollers). But the sponge rollers grabbed my hair well and the "shields" kept them from unwinding or falling out, which was already a big plus over other hot rollers.
To my surprise, the curls really did take. In fact, they were curlier than I had intended. It may take some practice to get the results I need, but it looks very promising.
Some of the rollers looked squashed when I took them out, because I had wound the hair around them so tightly (habit). I was afraid I had ruined them. I put them back on the steaming unit, and they returned to normal within seconds!
The curls were still there when I woke up this morning. That was a real shock. I have ultra-straight, ultra-fine hair. I have trouble getting even the best hot rollers to stay in, if I can get my hair to roll around them in the first place. The resulting "curls" are but a distant memory by the end of the day. But not these curls. I slept on them, and didn't even spray them, and they were still there the next day. I was sad that I had to wash them out (I wasn't very careful putting them in last night since I was just testing them, so I didn't have any sort of presentable hairstyle).
This unit should travel well, since the steaming unit is small, a little bigger than a memo cube. It comes with five different sizes of rollers, and there's a mail-order form where you can get more rollers in any size if you need them - they're pretty cheap.
Best Hair Tool in the World!!!! July 21, 2008

I bought this after reading all (well mostly) positive reviews. I always loved the way my hair looked when it was curled, but if I used a curling iron or hot rollers, my hair would uncurl in a few minutes. This is the only product I can use to curl my hair. There are a few tricks and tips I would tell people.
1. Make sure your hair is completely dry before you roll them.
2. Don't leave the curler on the steaming unit too long.
3. Steam the sheild before putting it in place
4. After you wait the 10 minutes for the curl to set, take the time and blow dry the curls on the cool heat setting. This sets the curl and can make it last for days longer.
5. If possible, use distilled water.
6. If you have read any other reviews, I'm sure you've heard about the unit dying after a few months. Actucally, the machine just needs to be cleaned!!!! Minerals in tap water build up and cause blockages on the inside, all you have to do is mix 1 tablespoon of vinger and full with water to the line. Plug in the steamer and wait 5-10 minutes, you should start to see steam. Let this run til it is not getting anymore water and your steamer with be just like new.
This is absolutely the best curling product out there!

Okay, first I am an African-American and I love my new rollers!! I recently retired my hot curlers and have moved on to bigger and better things. I'm a licensed Cosmetologist and I recommend this product to my clients who like to curl their hair on a daily basis. My hair is sooooo soft, manageable, shiny, and did I mention bouncy. Goodness I sound like an infomercial I'm so excited. Get a set and try them for yourself.

This is the ONLY product that will give my straight hair curls or waves. Just add water to the steamer unit, plug in, pop a roller on unit. As you are sectioning off the next hair, the roller steams, roll your dry hair, pass the roller cover cap over the steamer and cover the roller. Pop on the next roller, section, roll, pass cap over the steam, cover. Continue until all hair is rolled. By the time I put on a bit of makeup, the curlers are all cooled and ready to unwind. Brush teeth, lightly brush hair or finger comb, mist of spray. Good to go. Hair, makeup, teeth 15 min max. Curls, waves last ALL DAY! If I want tighter curls, I use smaller rollers, or I may use a warm blow dryer on the rolled curlers for a minute, then use cool air to "set" the curl. What I really appreciate is the "lift" and volume at the roots of the hair these curlers give. Every other heat set method left my hair flat at the roots with a bit of curl at the ends that slid out within 15 min. I can use my steam rollers every morning without damage to my hair. I can go a couple days without setting if I use a bit of spray to hold. You'll be amazed and so pleased with this product!
Finally have the curls and volume I've been longing for! November 19, 2007

Allow me to preface this by saying that I usually do not review anything unless I feel VERY strongly about the product, whether it be positive or negative. I have long, very straight hair and I've tried just about every single hairsetter and curling mechanism in existence. With normal heat rollers, I start the day with curls but end up with a ratty hairsprayed mess. Caruso's steam hairsetter is arguably the most amazing hair tool that I have EVER used! I was certainly skeptical when I purchased it, but it heats immediately and takes hardly any time at all to use. It is also extremely compact and easy to travel with! The best part- the curls and volume stay ALL DAY!! I'm so glad I took the chance on Caruso and I will never roll my hair with regular heat rollers again. A quick tip to try that I've found for girls with long hair: put the largest rollers on the top and the smaller rollers underneath- it gives even more volume that way. I highly recommend these to anyone with any length/texture hair.
