The curling iron is well made, with leaves and without using the clip for clamping the strand itself. It's my first of this kind and I needed a little practice in the handling - the first curls had some corners and have little in between becoming changed direction - but after two or three uses everything went fine. The Cool-tip tip in my opinion is a must; it is quite warm, what could be improved, but at the end it is always händelbar and served its purpose.
The lack of temperature adjustment bothers me not at all, on the contrary - 190 ° C I never overstepping with appropriate equipment to protect my hair, and the temperature is more than sufficient to achieve beautiful results. More sensitive strands, about the Pony, I lure correspondingly shorter (max. 3 seconds), other areas of hair that are less strained (for example at the back) tolerate no less than 10-15 seconds heat.
The unit is all in all a great thing, it is good quality and Philips scores with the excellent price-performance ratio. I recommend buying, myself am extremely happy with my decision.
