Advantages: Heat up in seconds, easy to use, can be used internationally

Disadvantages: No mat/ pouch provided, serum must be used before hand which can make the hair look greasy

I have had my Mk4's for about 6 months now and prior to this was using the salon styler. I can honestly say that I won't go back to any other straighteners again, ghds give exceptional quality and performance and I've never heard of any defects.
These heat up pretty high, and I have burnt my fingers a few times so do be careful. A definete plus point is that these work in America! I thought that was great because last time I took my salon styler and it didn't work, I thought it had broken :(
I think by now, that ghd should start including hat mat/ pouch with all their ghds, I mean it's just stingy that they don't- every other brand seem to, so this does get me about ghd.
I have previously used Remington straighteners, and can't say that they were far off from ghds actually- so my tip to anyone considering these but perhaps strapped for cash would be to go for a remington- as I found them a joy to use, and never had any problems with them. They heated up slightly less than ghds but did a fantastic job, and never left my hair dry.
I have also noticed that with ghds you need to use some sort of serum because otherwise , you do get frazzled ends- so beware.

Summary: Overall, a defiente buy for every girl, but Remington straighteners fare in at similiar quality
