You've got nothing to lose. This is awesome.
Straightening made easy. Holds hair evenly.  Easy warm touch grip. Cord is substantial. Doesn't twist up. Straightens & curls. Not too heavy. Switch is inside. Small font, must use glasses to read. If you have fat fingers turning device on & off may be difficult.  I personally just unplug & set it once and leave alone. Also, when closed on the hair, the device does not twist . Returned another prior to this purchase because it twisted when closed and wasn't sturdy & firm, nor solid closure, especially when making curls like this device. Works very well for straight or curling hair. Go for it.
