Junk!
I can't imagine that anyone who uses a hair straightener would find that this one gets anywhere near hot enough! Thank goodness we tried it out before we left for vacation. You can touch the hotplates when on - they are warm only (I cannot do that on my current straightener without getting burned). Also the hotplates do not come together close enough so that is a problem. And they sent me the wrong color.
