This is a great flat iron. So much better than the plastic ones. I've had mine for several years. Still works great. I bought this one as a gift for a friend who liked mine.Gets REALLY hot, hotter than any other hair tool I have used before. I have really thick hair, and it works great. My friend who I purchased it for has very thin, fine hair, and it works great for her too. She just uses a cooler setting.I wrap the cord around the flat iron for storage, and the cord got pretty wonky pretty fast. But that doesn't bother me at all.I would buy this product again and again.
