ERGONOMIC CONTROLS
The control buttons are on the outside of the device, which is safe, but when you work, some of them are constantly hit by the finger, resulting in spontaneous switching modes or the straightener accidentally turns off.
Only 4 buttons: on/off switch, Sonic on/off switch, plus “+” and “-” to adjust the temperature. Button “-” is also used to activate the gentle styling function, recommended to complete the styling of each strand and fix the result at a lower temperature.
To be honest, we have not noticed any difference in fixing the hair, and it is unlikely that the plates have time to cool down to 150 ⁰C. When the appliance is switched on, the display shows 180, which is the average operating temperature.
There are also indicators READY ready to work , TOUCH-UP gentle styling and SONIC acoustic plate vibration . Temperature range can be set individually from 150 to 230 ⁰C in 10⁰C steps. Everything is perfectly simple and clear, the only thing missing is the ability to lock the buttons during operation.
EXTENSION
The device heats up even faster than the manufacturer’s claimed 15 seconds. The plates vibrate slightly when closed. Vibration increases when the SONIC button is pressed.
To avoid a gap between the plates about 2 mm , they must be squeezed harder, otherwise it is difficult to straighten delicate or shaved hair. Excellent hair gliding.
REFERENCE
The body of the device has a rounded shape that helps to use it as a curling tool. On this parameter this model is one of the most convenient in the test, it was easy to curl the hair, even an inexperienced aprobantku.
IONIZATION
The hair straightener has a strong ozone smell like after a thunderstorm and is actually less electrifying after use.
SAFE
The 1 hour autoshutdown was right on time. The rectifier was open for the whole hour in the enclosed thermal bag. To its credit, it left no residue! The straightener lies perfectly in the palm of your hand, the contact surface is far from the hand, risk of burns is extremely low.
