works well [SEP] this is not bad and it works i just wish that the design was a little different so that i could lay it on the counter more easilythe good of this is that you can use it on wet hair and it does straighten there is only one button on this although it is surrounded by several lights that give off the impression that they should also be buttons which is very slightly confusing at first it is easy to change between temperatures and the unit heats up incredibly quickly which is awesomethe downside to this is that the design makes it more difficult to lay down on the counter if you have a sink that is slightly raised then you can prop it up against that but i do wish it had something like some of the curling irons have it also comes with a small bag but i am slightly worried about putting the straightener in the bag if it is even slightly warm as it is the type of material that could melt easilyi am not really familiar with straighteners in general but this does seem like it is designed to be similar to some of the more name brand expensive items out there i am not entirely sure how the price compares though overall this is not bad
