It tends to get a little hotter than her old iron, but that is a bonus in her mind ;) She seems to think that the straightening process goes faster with this one that her old iron.
The plates are nicely coated, very smooth on the hair and seem like they will last a long time.
I was prepared to spend well over the cost of this iron, but we thought we could give this one a try before we made another huge investment in a different brand.
We both think this iron is an excellent value. In fact, this was such a great deal that I went ahead and bought her the one inch version of this same iron just for her bangs.
:: UPDATE :: 11/08 -My daughter is still using this iron every day as well as the one inch version of the same iron. She has not experienced any peeling or any problems. I would buy this iron again. It has been a great value for us.

I recently purchased this after my Hot Tools straigthening iron stopped performing as well as it used to. I had owned that one for nearly ten years, though, so it served me well. I was ready to invest in an expensive straightening iron similar to what stylists use at salons, but after comparing prices and reading reviews for numerous products, I opted for the more affordable Andis.I have thick, wavy hair and was unsure if a less expensive iron like this one would do a good job of taming my waves. All my doubts were put to rest after using the iron. I originally set it at a medium heat setting, which straightened my hair perfectly. But ever since, I've been using a low setting which surprisingly still works on my unruly hair.
Pros:
* Heats quickly
* Various heat settings to suit many types of hair
* Power switch is strategically placed to avoid accidental turn-off
* Has locking mechanism so you can secure the plates for travel
Cons:
* The silver finish looks kind of cheap
Overall, a fine product at an affordable price that does what it's supposed to do. As another reviewer noted, the product doesn't have the appearance of being made well (which is solely why I give it four stars instead of five). But with proper maintenance, I don't see why this flat iron shouldn't last a long time.
