(I suspect these may be Tesco overstock items - see Post #11? Also added photos of what I received - my Grade B+ was pristine and unused with all accessories - just a slightly scruffy box).
Missed out on the Tesco deal for this, but may interest those who have their heart set on one of these but don't want to pay Babyliss prices! Apparently it's nearly half the weight of the Curl Secret, too (according to Amazon.de Q&As).
Available on ebay in Grade A (Open Box) or B+ (see Grading description below). Brand New available on the Cheapest Electrical website.

This item has been on Clearance a few places so I'm guessing it's discontinued by Philips (?).
Eg, this was around £30 at Tesco around Xmas, then down to £27.50 hotukdeals.com/dea…430
I have heard of fake Babyliss Perfect Curl devices (especially the US Miracurls which are all over Aliexpress and Alibaba) but not came across this one.
tbh in my opinion most electrical appliances devices that are that dirt cheap are fake. I wld rather pay a little more in known stores so that if something was to happen then you have something to fall back on. This of course is not about money but safety! we got a hover board that nearly killed us when it burst into flames so Iam sort of cautious with eBay and Amazon. same goes for perfumes, alcohol, electronics, you just never know! The fakers have really upped their game! Best to be safe than get a bargain!! hehe
obviously this is my opinion and experience.
Your comment about "known stores" is baffling - does Tesco count? Do you think they are also selling fakes? The Philips was much more expensive originally - it's just a Clearance price, as, I assume and said before, Philips seem to be discontinuing this.
I did a lot of reading about Perfect Curl and its knockoffs (especially so as I wanted to make sure the EU version I got wasn't a fake).
There are lots of online articles about fake Perfect Curls (very often the Chinese counterfeiters like to dupe the colour variant Miracurls which are sold in the US - though more basic ones are out there as well).
Haven't seen any articles or blog posts about the Philips ProCare Auto Hair Curlers at all - unless you have and would like to share?? If you're going to cry fake, it does help if you have evidence supporting this - which is what I'd do.
Edit: There's also an embossed/engraved serial number underneath the Model Number blurb, will try my best to see if there's a way of authenticating this.
Includes: User Manual, Quick Start Guide, Warranty/Certificate Of Purchase, Step-By-Step Illustration Instructions, Hair Sectioning Tool, Barrel Cleaning Accessory.
I was hoping the Philips website would give some clues to help authenticate this (eg asking for a serial number) but it doesn't seem to - just wants you to upload an invoice or receipt.
Already have my Sonicare on there

Have you tried it yet? thinking of buying one for my daughter, don't want to spend hours curling her long, thick hair though.
This seems like such a handy tool to keep in the dressing table. I like that you can vary the thickness of hair fed through
