I lurve these irons!! mine are the full size irons.

These have great temperature control. The highest heat is 200 degrees and can be changed to lower heat settings, I have never had to use it at then highest, as the lower heats are fine for my hair, even to curl and achieve poker straitness.
Temparatue controll is a key featue of this iron, GHD's don't have this option so it's searing heat only.
These have a little led panel which you can contoll the heat with a touch of a button to raise or lower, I generally stick at 150 degrees, while still acheiving poker straitness fairly quickly, this is nothing short of a miracle (it is something in the plates that makes them more effective, but they won't give away the secret..)This means less damage is caused to your hair which is a bonus.

The plate's are black ceramic which = no static frizz, they also include a 'special ingredient for added shine with every use and whatever there magic ingredient is it works my hair is always left sleek and shiny with each use.

The wire is very long not sure of the exact measurement, though it is longer than any other pair of irons I have owned, which is great for when your mirror plug socket ratio isn't very good. This iron also features a swivel cord so you will never get yourself in a tangle.

Don't worry if You leave the house and forget to turn them off, they have hibernation mode and will turn off after 30mins, so no fires, this is a great safety feature especially for teenagers.

Okay so that's the technical stuff, but what about presentation, I got mine as a xmas gift from my fiancée and yes I actually jumped in excitement, I was so happy, I had heard such good things about these amazing irons, I wasn't let down.
They came in a nice hinged black box, inside the irons are in ta plastic setting to keep them from rolling about, they come with a heat guard, which is a small plastic cover which you just pop over the end then you you can place them on any surface while the're still hot. They also have a heat prove velvet bag to put them in which comes in very handy if you want to put them away immediately after using.

Inside the box there is a booklet which shows you how to create different looks, I have used the guide to curl my hair which i could never do with irons before hand.

They come with a 2 year warranty as standard, and each iron has a RFID chip inside to prevent fraudulent selling and theft. they have dual adapter and unirversal voltage so you can bring these babies wherever you go.

Price~ yes the are expensive at £129.95 for the normal iron they have other products too.

with free next day delivery ( think they needed this or people would explode from anticipation waiting for them).They are more than worth the money you pay because the quality is beyond believe.

I think every person who has hair should own a pair of these as they are the best things ever made in the history of the world, including the wheel and sliced bread.
