What customers say about "Power"
Hot Shot Tools 2" Ceramic Curling Iron
  • It doesn’t get noticed much, but the cord length is perfect here.
  • The cord is really long so it is easy to reach wherever you need to without contorting into weird positions in an effort to not burn yourself.
  • The long cord never gets tangled since it rotates with the iron.
  • Has rotating cord so it doesn’t get tangled or twisted while using.
  • Another issue was the length of the cord. It doesn’t seem to be long enough to give a lot of flexibility unless the wall receptacle is close.
Hot Tools 1" 24K Gold (1181) Curling Iron / Wand
  • The iron has nice settings and features with a swivel cord.
  • It has adjustable temperature and a swivel cord. It is a professional tool at an affordable price.
  • Nice swivel on the cord.
  • Heats up fast and the swivel on the cord is very moveable so it doesn't get twisted up like some others.
  • They last much longer, get hotter and the cord swivels so you don't get it all tangled.
