I've used so many different irons over the years. Ladies, Stop searching. This is one the BEST irons, I've ever used. I've owned over 10 different irons over the years. The cheap irons at walmart don't get hot enough and fall apart so quickly. Even the expensive irons I've owned like CHI, T3, and Sedu stopped working before a year. I have long thick and curly hair, so I've always demanded the most out of my irons. I need 450F heat. But, I grew tired of them burning out on me. The h2pro 300SE comes with a 3-Year Warranty offered by h2pro and hairproductspro.com. I wasn't able to find anything this nice anywhere else online. I can't tell you how much I really love my h2pro. Thanks~ Lorraine
