I was going to ask for this for Christmas ( from hubby) but my wonderful friend in the beauty industry picked it out for me beforehand, so I didn't actually have to purchase it but I would have. This is a great curling iron. I gets nice and hot and can curl my hair so it stays for days! I have medium to long hair and it takes about 15 minutes to curl it all, and lasts for a few days ( going from good curl to pretty waves). One this is I wish there was a longer cool tip to hold onto but I would buy another this size in a heart beat.
