This is pretty much like my other iron with a few enhancements. When you plug it in, it gets hot within a minute. On the inside of the iron is the temp gauge. It ranges from 140-450 degrees. I tend to put mine around 350. It does have an on/off switch so be sure to have it on when you plug it in ( i didnt first time and thought it was broken! lol)
So after its heated up, it works it magic. Usually it would take me 15 minutes and multiple strokes through my hair with my old iron. I can do my whole hair in under 5 minutes now and I dont have to "rework" over and over again to get it to be straight.
The best feature to me about this is the 360 swivel cord. I absolutely love that it moves with me. It doesnt kink up or get wrapped around my air when I am doing the opposite side of my hair (arm stretched across). The cord is heavy gauge so when I store it, Im not getting ugly kinks or knots in it.
Overall I think its a great buy! It works just as good if not better than Chi (Ive used both). It comes with a 1 year warranty as well as some other little goodies!

I did get this at a full promotional discount for my unbias review in return.
