Price depends on which one you want to buy - Looks to be from $280+ down to $140 range from the ones on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/chi-machine/s?k=chi+machine. The original one (according to this site) is $480 - https://zenkinetix.com/pages/chi-machine. I think I might skip on this one unless I knew someone that had one and I could see it and try it before buying,.
