(More customer reviews)The feature that drew me to this product is the conditioner strip that applies conditioner to the hair as it goes through the straightener. As it turns out, that is not the best feature.
There is a minimal amount of unscented conditioner (Dimethicone, 2-Ethylhexyl palmitate) released each time the straightener passes through the hair, and it seems imperceptible. I have to take it on faith that it's really there, although when washing my hair the following day, it had a waxy feel to it. It would be hard to determine when the product has been exhausted even with the hint given in the instructions. It comes with only one strip. Replacements are listed at Amazon at three strips for just under $18.00. According to the information on the box, each strip is good for up to 20 uses. That's 60 uses for $18.00 or about $128.00/year (for daily use). It would have to be used in conjunction with a rinse out or leave in conditioner, so it's pretty costly. Once the conditioner is gone, the straightener will still function.
One really nice feature is the LCD that displays the selected temperature of the straightener. There are eight different settings and a handy temperature guide to help determine the correct temperature for several types of hair: fine/thin, normal/wavy, thick/dense/hard-to-straighten, and very coarse/highly resistant. The temperatures range from 200-410 degrees. For my color-treated, fine, wavy hair, 250 degrees did the trick. It is easy to select the temperature. The temperature defaults to 200 degrees when the straightener is turned on again, so you need to remember to set the temperature for each use.
Instructions are complete and even include assembly instructions even though the product comes fully assembled.
The product heats up in only 90 seconds.
There is a removable comb on one side of the flat iron, opposite the conditioning strip. It's a nice-to-have since it untangles and pulls the hair straight as it passes between the blades of the iron. The comb did not seem to pull my hair.
There were no areas on which my hair got caught. This has been a problem in the past with straighteners that had uneven seams or gaps that pulled out several strands at a time.
After use, my hair was straight and shiny, but I had also used two conditioners prior to blow drying my hair.
After 60 minutes, the straightener will turn off whether or not it is in use. (No more of those "did I unplug the straightener" moments as I'm going out the door in the morning. No. The house will not burn down.)
It is not dual voltage and as such is not a good choice for international travel to countries with 220v systems.
