What customers say about "Size & Weight"

HSI PROFESSIONAL (E038) Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic Flat Iron

I love the size of it, it's not so big that it's hard to handle and it's not too small that it would take a long time to do my hair.
The size is amazing and it can overheat so it comes with the gloves which are super handy!
I would recommend this product if your looking for a straightener thats light weight, gets hot and gets the job done!
Overall, I am impressed with the quality of construction, weight (it's a bit heavier than other irons I've used, which lends to the feeling of better construction)
A good weight, not light, not heavy.

Babyliss Pro BABNT3050 Nano Titanium Dual voltage Mini Straightening Iron

Just as good as larger size & almost zero space needed to pack! Highly recommend!
It's perfect for my short hair and easy to handle. Works for everyday and tiny to take with me on trips.
I love how the size makes it so easy to bring when travelling
So much more compact and light weight than your standard straightening iron.
Great for travel. Light weight.

What customers say about "Features"

HSI PROFESSIONAL (E038) Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic Flat Iron

I really like the digital read out and the discreet controls out of the way of accidental bumping.
The iron has a dial to regulate the temperature of the iron from 140 to 450 degrees F.
It's great to be able to regulate the amount of heat it uses so that I can get all that I need while not letting my hair singe. I would recommend getting this.
There is a green power indicator light that shows it is turned on, a good reminder to turn it off or unplug it when you are finished using it.
The indicator light shines red while heating and turns green when ready; couldn't be easier.

Babyliss Pro BABNT3050 Nano Titanium Dual voltage Mini Straightening Iron

Love the 1" width plate, saves time over other travel-sized straightening irons that are only .5" wide.
The product was going to be too hot to use on my short hair since it only heats up to one temperature, but I've used it a couple of times now, and it's pretty great.
It doesn't have a temperature regulator. I really wanted to like this flat iron but my hair looked fried the first time I use it and I had heat protector. I'm afraid to use it again.
It does NOT shut off automatically.
The indicator light is really dull.

What customers say about "Power"

HSI PROFESSIONAL (E038) Ceramic Tourmaline Ionic Flat Iron

It also has a nice long cord which can come in handy.
The cord doesn't get tangled or bent because it has a 360 degree swivel cord to prevent that.
It heats fast, is easy to operate, the cord is long (thank you!).
The cord is extra long which helps with long hair.
This appears to be the only full size dual voltage flat iron on the market right now. There aren't any switches you need to flip for the voltage - it automatically switches on its own.

Babyliss Pro BABNT3050 Nano Titanium Dual voltage Mini Straightening Iron

The compact size and dual voltage feature were great for traveling.
The cord does not tangle and it cools down fairly fast.
It has a long cord.
The dual voltage is built in so I did not have to purchase a converter.
I needed a compact, inexpensive dual voltage flat iron to take to Italy and this fit the bill.
