Needed a dual voltage flat iron for trip to Europe and the U.K.<br />Pros-<br />It's dual voltage and compact enough to travel with.<br />Came with 4 alligator style clips.<br />Included heat protective zip bag to pack if it's still hot.<br />Cons-<br />On/Off switch is located in very difficult spot to reach, on the inside just below the bottom plate.  Was hard to reach so never bothered switching it off, just unplugged it.<br />The plates are very small.  Granted, this is a travel/compact flat iron so I guess that's to be expected but unfortunate.<br />There is no heat setting.  It's on or it's off.  In my opinion, this iron doesn't get hot enough.  At best it appears to get mildly warm and just wasn't hot enough for my hair.<br />Conclusion? Although compact, pretty and packaged nicely, I'd rather take my everyday iron with me and take more room in the suitcase to have something that heats up better, has bigger plates and doesn't take me 5 times longer to do my hair.  As far as dual voltage, I won't need that feature often so I'd investigate other options if needed again.
