I say this is decent because it's not quite what I was hoping for, but it does the job okay. I was hoping the plates would be a bit more slick so my hair could easily slide through, but not so. My hair doesn't get caught or anything, but it doesn't seem to glide easily through the plates. Perhaps it's just the kind of plates or the coating or something?Otherwise, this is a fine flat iron. I have pretty straight hair already so I don't need something that's super powerful. Read more

I bought this flat iron back in 2005 and just yesterday had to throw it in the trash. :( The only reason it had to be thrown away is because the wires pulled out from the end of it. But after 5 years of use and to have that be the reason it stops working, I think, is pretty amazing. Every other flat iron I've had has had the ceramic plates go out. I am so satisfied with this flat iron that I bought this same exact one just yesterday! I look forward to another many years using it! I would recommend this to anyone! It's the perfect size (1-inch plates) for long hair, short hair, thick hair, thin hair... whatever you have. It has many heat settings and doesn't fry your hair. I've always used it on the highest setting and it's never ruined or fried my hair. It makes my hair shiny and pretty.UPDATE: I ordered this in June 2010, the first 2 or 3 (can't remember now) that I received DID NOT work. I had to send them back and get new ones. I finally got one that worked and it's been great up until a few days ago (January 2011). Now, it will not heat up at all. I'm returning it again and getting a different flat iron. Folica, the seller has been amazing though and very accommodating and helpful! Read more

When I got this iron, it didn't work. When I plugged it into an outlet, it remained cold. This is what happened to the first one I had, which I attempted to replace with this iron. I returned it and got a full refund. Read more
