Perfect size for travel or home! [SEP] I love that this is dual voltage. I visit family in Germany and I won't need to have two separate irons now. It even has the plug adaptor.<br /><br />It takes about 30 seconds to heat up after you turn it on. It does not have multiple heat settings, just on/off. The cord is nice and long so you can turn around and look in the mirror or whatever and not be stuck. I use it to tame some of the more stubborn parts of my mohawk that don't always want to stick up the right way. There's a velcro strap to keep the cord wound up when you aren't using it and the carry bag is big enough that the iron and the cord fit into it easily.  A great addition to your travel kit or for daily use.<br /><br />And yes, both the iron and the storage bag are that color.
