Here are a few positive facts for purchasing the S6500:
* Very fast heat-up rate
* The high-quality ceramic coating the plates glide smoothly through hair
* The plates close evenly
* No "plucking" of hair
* Easy To Use

Negative I could not even notice.
In short: This device is worth every penny and I highly recommend the purchase without restrictions :-)
