Not as hot as I would have liked.
I haven't had a curling iron in years so this was a difficult purchase for me. I based it on price and reviews. This was fine, but I was disappointed that it didn't get hotter. Maybe it was the use I was using it for - trying to spiral curl kids hair for a stage production. Anyway, I'll still keep it because it will be great for other uses.
