I ordered this flat iron as a second machine for the journey. Without cable, it is about 15 cm long. The heating plates are 6 cm long and 1.5 cm wide. That's very small. Many hair it would take forever to smooth everything. I use it to smooth traveling unruly outer coat and screwed in the approach a bit. My big hair straighteners at home is to me as simply too bulky. Sorry, no temperature display / setting is present. Usually, I even at 190 ° .The smoothing or lure works very well with my blond, soft hair with the Miniglätter. Also no on / off switch is available. A red light indicates the operating when plugged into the outlet. The cable is firmly vebunden with the device, ie it does not rotate with the winding up her hair. This is very annoying when turning curls because you again have to turn back any rotation. A Einsteckhülle is not included, but a plastic cap for plugging and keep "the beak".
Conclusion: As a second unit for the journey, it is well suited, provided it is not intended for curls. It does what it should with no frills.
