I ordered the Gätteisen because it had good reviews. The case we very hot so you can-while holding the flat iron only very far back you readily adjustable temperature or switches off the device. The flat iron is well in hand because it is narrow. In the smoothing I have with much force the machine close to keep the hair properly between the plates are ... after a short time then hurt my hand. From bilayer ceramic and Silk etc. I naturally noticed anything. Conclusion: The device is no better and no worse than the other Remington Glätteisen.Sieht visually beautiful and elegant but out of the service provided, you can buy a cheaper device from the manufacturer.
