decent straightener no so good curler great lock in temperature function [SEP] con affordability concept also the feauture to lock in the temperature is genius once it is turned on and on the heat setting you want double click on the on button and it will lock it is really nice when you are using this tool and accidentally click on the temperature or on buttons which will happen quite often the buttons are on the handle so that is understandable even more expensive units do not usually have the temp lock in feature so i was very impressed with thatoverall great concept but i will be returning it
