It arrived with th label scratched off from improper packaging (from th retailer, not Amazon).  The item itself was heavier than expected, which makes it somewhat difficult to maneuver through your hair.  It also gets extremely hot, even on the medium-low setting.  You have to be careful not to burn yourself due to the extreme heat.  It also didn't straighten my hair as much as I had expected.
