This is the best straightener on the market. This is also the best price around, use a discount coupon with this price and you definitely save money. As far as those consumers who state that they returned this product because it is the mini size, I strongly disagree. Purchase this small size because it is easier and lighter to use for the length of time it takes to straighten long hair - - a larger straightener would cause serious fatigue in your arm if you have long wavy hair like my daughters! Definitely price elsewhere and then you will buy here!
