I love this flat iron,but has anyone else noticed the length of the plates is a bit shorter than your average flat iron?

I have noticed that my Plugged iron has plates 2-3 mm longer, and tried some ther that claimed their plates even longer than usual length - that was true. But the results from everything I've tried before cannot be compared to moriccanoil hot iron. I think, the end result is what matters the most - hair looks gorgeous! My friend tried it as well and noticed the difference in using it and how her hair looked. Enjoy the product!

I had not noticed, and the three of us girls in the family have been using this iron for a few years now. We love it! We actually find it easy to handle and easy on our very thick hair. Maybe they made it that way on purpose. We have tried several other flat irons and this one is by far the best.

Not sure of the difference in the length but I love this flat iron! Perfect for me!

I really like the iron. It isn't real light, but I prefer a heavier iron. It's really a great iron!

That happened to me when I first started using the iron. I find that if I turn it to Off for just a few seconds and turn it on again, it works properly and consistently. The longer I use it, the better I like it.

I have the flat iron that is in the picture you attached. It has purple plates. I love it but you need to be aware that is only has one heat setting so you cannot adjust the heat. It gets very hot. It works for me though, better than my old one with adjustable heat settings. I have very fine frizzy hair so extra heat works for me. I have not seen the flat iron with gold plates.

Hi Jennifer, Make sure to buy a universal adapter when traveling oversea this shouldnot affects the temperature setting.I used this flat iron in Montreal had no problems,but always check your setting before using.Have fun traveling.

Not that I am aware of (although that would be a great option). But the flat iron is awesome, you can't go wrong with it.

I honestly haven't noticed any design flaws. This works better than any other iron I have ever owned. What have you noticed?

I got the 1 and 1/2 inch one too and it has a 5 year limited warranty. This is a great iron. My only complaint would be the finish is coming off a little on the edges near the plate. It doesn't affect the performance and I suppose at the high temps it isn't a surprise but you'd think they'd have a solution for this. However, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It works wonderfully.

Mine only has high and low... but I am fully satisfied with it. It took me through three weeks in Europe and managed my close to shoulder length curly hair that I blow straight, no small feat. It is a light travel iron with lots of power. Just what I needed but maybe not for you.

The plates have a very slight rounded edge to them. However they work fantastic to curl. (I'm literally using it as I type this. I am used to spending 200 to 300 dollars on a flat iron, this one not only lives up to the most expensive flat irons I've ever had it is even better! I highly recommend this product. it only takes 30 seconds to get to 450 degrees. actually straightened my hair faster and I have noticed less breakage and split ends.

It's a pretty normal size just like other flat iron.and the wand it's a good size as we'll.i have pretty long hair nd the wand is capable of curling it well. I give it 5 stars.and the mini straighter is just a cool bonus you can take it anywhere.

I ordered this waffle iron because it is very functional and Cuisinart has quality products. In my opinion, it has a quality look to it. The only thing I would change is to have removable plates. However, the option doesn't seem to be available for a product of this size. Good luck!

Yes!! I totally pulls my hair. It gave me pretty nasty split ends. I pretty much stopped using it :( Still looking for perfect flat iron.

I love this iron. It is because it is a very easy glide and that you do no lifting that I like it. Automatic touch lowers and raises it. In my opinion it would be a good idea for you. It would be more the correct height for your ironing that would be more the problem.

The longer heat plate is good for me because I have a lot of very thick, long hair. I can put wider sections of hair through the iron. I also like the narrower iron. I have small hands and it's more comfortable, and lighter, for me to handle.There are wider irons with shorter heat plates, but this one is best for me. I don't know if it's more experience than the other ones, but if it is, it's worth it for me.

Unfortunately not. But then again,my last iron did and it only retracted half way after some time so it didn't bother me too much.
