well made but not useful for my beard [SEP] this was a bit of a gamble on my part i have a scraggly beard and hoped to tame it somewhat with this flat iron that did not really work very well but the iron itself works fine and straightened the hair on my head this is an attractive little unit that heats up quickly if you touch it to test you will likely regret it the single control is a bit inexact it clicks several times making you somewhat unsure what is going on also the variable temperature is somewhat of a guessing game you know the high and low temperatures but not exactly what is going on in betweenstill it works and works easily and even comes with a nice little travel bag so if you are not trying to tame a beard this should work fine for you
