The Best Large Plate Flat Iron...period. I bought the h2pro Vivace 1\" and the h2pro Vivace 1-3/4\" because I wanted a large plate iron too. This iron gives great results everytime, leaving my hair straight and smooth and silky. I never got these results with my other flat irons. I have used the CHI Digital 1.5\", Turbo 2\", and several other cheaper models from Target. There is no comparison. I recommend the h2pro Vivace 1-3/4\". But, buy your own because this one is mine, Jacky! Thanks so much, LaTasha
