Pretty sure it's a knock off and doesn't hold heat well.
Can't say for certain that this is a genuine PYT brand hair straightener. Definitely feels like a knock off and not worth the money spent on it. I purchased it after the ceramic plate of the PYT straighter I had cracked after 10 years of use. This one is way lighter and doesn't seem to hold heat as well. Takes way more time to straighten my hair where as with my old one I was done in mere minutes. So I can only assume that this is a knock off or that the standards of PYT lowered and their straighteners are no longer as high quality as they were 10 years ago. Tempted to fork up the $300 to buy from the PYT website and compare the two to be sure.
