I only bought this because I noticed it in the clearance section at Ulta and thought the price of $34.d0 (was 69.99 regularly) was a great deal for a CHI! I knew I could use it at work and for traveling so I went ahead and bought it. I've used it at work three times now and I'm happy with it. I really like the case it came in-very handy, and of course since this is small its a little awkward/harder to use than a regular full size iron but that's to be expected and since I don't use this on a daily basis I can deal with that. I wouldn't have bought this at reg price because its high. I prefer my t3 bespoke flat iron to this because mine is full size but this gives good results and it has a 1yr warrenty so basicly if you can get this on sale as I did I'd recommend it but if it was reg price of 69.99 I'd recommend paying the extra thirty bucks for their full size one.
