This straightener could only conditionally. Especially compared with my who is priced at the same level.
But let's step by step. The unpacking and commissioning of the straightener has come not a problem. An on / off switch and with plus and minus keys you can easily set the temperature. The keys are small and not too stressed, so at least for the first application so far I do not accidentally it came and the temperature changed. also can by the same time - and + suppressed lock the temperature. A lock icon on the display then indicates also that the temperature is secured. I find that absolutely amazing! Incidentally, shows a small flashing green dot in the display that the temperature has not been reached. If it reaches, is the point. Well not for the far-sighted people, I found the point namely quite small and unimpressive. Beautiful it would have been, had the temperature even flashed represented much larger.
What I did not like so much is the locking of the closed state. For this there is a button which you can push through the handle right and left at the bottom of the handle quasi. I found it a bit difficult to move to one side and thus it is not locked properly. Possible to get better over time. I needed anyway several times attempt several attempts.
In order to compare well I chose the same temperature, which I use on my hair straightener: 160 degrees. Perfectly adequate for my hair.
Otherwise same preparation as always .. wash hair, dry it and then edit strand by strand.
Here I noticed thin strands he grabs difficulties, or you have to carry a fairly high pressure already, which I find very uncomfortable for the hands. Overall, I found him indeed nice and round in his hand lying but quite large in extent, which I think is slightly more difficult squeezing.
What I did not like the upper part of the heating plates. Where the heating plates and the plastic end starts is a great event for hair, over and over again in slightly uptight, so I constantly pulled myself by the hair. I know not of my straightener so.
Also the result I now found not so great. For the same application as always the curls are not as jumping as usual, the curves were quite difficult hineinzukriegen, but also determines the tweet with debt.
According to package label to the built and located between the 4 hot plates infrared technology have teif continuous undsanfte effect on the hair. Judging whether it was of advantage or disadvantage, or whether there had an effect, I can not really. Also I might have liked this, some more information that I am looking in vain.
The instruction manual is more than scarce. Most of the space more of a follow the safety instructions. However, the unit is also absolutely self-explanatory and therefore a manual probably not important. Just stupid, when you dispose of the carton times, to him is the only indication for which the infrared light is ever ...
Moreover, the device is a faint humming sound, which has initially something irritates me .. perhaps by the light?
All in all, a device, which I think is really ok, but I would have liked at the price but then a bit more comfort desired: no tweet, lighter compression and a better catch. If the unit cost half it would have given more points. For the price compared to other straighteners I have to admit, I would definitely tend again to my old!
