Doesn't get hot at all thumbs down for me I wouldn't recommend these to anyone I know the size is posted but this was MUCH smaller than I anticipated and does not work very practically for my super thick hair

I do love the colors and it heats up nicely

I have trouble with some of the bigger ones cuz my hair is short

It is adequate, but the plates don't meet as evenly as they should, so I often have to run a thread through more than once

I haven't traveled with it yet, but I imagine it will be super easy to pack

I received it in under a week and in a small box
