What customers say about "Key Specs"
Babyliss Pro BABNT3050 Nano Titanium Dual voltage Mini Straightening Iron
  • The titanium plates heat up quickly and remains hot.
  • The titanium plates do move quickly over your hair, which is a plus.
  • It heats up extremely fast, and I could actually curl my hair with it unlike a regular sizes one.
  • It heats up quick and does a nice job.
  • Heats really well but it is best for very thin/short hair as it is quite small.
CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch
  • I'm a man, and only use it on my bangs sometimes, and it's a really fast process which makes me happy.
  • It heated quickly and the temperature was perfect.
  • It heats up in seconds and it gets HOT.
  • It seems that the 1" Chi gets hotter than the 2" with the temperature setting, and works better for straightening.
  • The positive aspects of this one is that it does heat up more quickly and maintains it's temperature.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Babyliss Pro BABNT3050 Nano Titanium Dual voltage Mini Straightening Iron
  • Just as good as larger size & almost zero space needed to pack! Highly recommend!
  • It's perfect for my short hair and easy to handle. Works for everyday and tiny to take with me on trips.
  • I love how the size makes it so easy to bring when travelling
  • So much more compact and light weight than your standard straightening iron.
  • Great for travel. Light weight.
CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch
  • Loved that it didn't snag my hair like my old flat iron did at times. Perfect travel size too!
  • I really appreciate the smaller size as well, since my last straightener was considerably larger and heavier.
  • The iron is a good size, light with a nice long cord- longer than that of my hairdryer which is helpful.
  • Worth every cent! Heats up quickly! Compact in size.
  • It's also a good size to be able to make curls/waves too.

What customers say about "Features"
Babyliss Pro BABNT3050 Nano Titanium Dual voltage Mini Straightening Iron
  • Love the 1" width plate, saves time over other travel-sized straightening irons that are only .5" wide.
  • The product was going to be too hot to use on my short hair since it only heats up to one temperature, but I've used it a couple of times now, and it's pretty great.
  • It doesn't have a temperature regulator. I really wanted to like this flat iron but my hair looked fried the first time I use it and I had heat protector. I'm afraid to use it again.
  • It does NOT shut off automatically.
  • The indicator light is really dull.
CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch
  • The plates actually move so there is no tugging to the hair - i didn't realize how bad it was with my previous flat irons, but with this Chi everything is so smooth.
  • This iron has ceramic plates so it doesn't damage your hair.
  • The 1" ceramic plate is nice, because you can use it to make curls or straighten your hair.
  • The ceramic plates work a miracle on your hair.
  • Also, the on/off switch is in an awkward position - in between the paddles instead of on the side. It is easy to burn your fingers when you reach in to shut it off.
  • There is only one temperature setting, so it might not be good for people with delicate hair.

What customers say about "Power"
Babyliss Pro BABNT3050 Nano Titanium Dual voltage Mini Straightening Iron
  • The compact size and dual voltage feature were great for traveling.
  • The cord does not tangle and it cools down fairly fast.
  • It has a long cord.
  • The dual voltage is built in so I did not have to purchase a converter.
  • I needed a compact, inexpensive dual voltage flat iron to take to Italy and this fit the bill.
CHI Original 1" Dual voltage Ceramic Hairstyling Iron 1 Inch
  • I love that it has a long cord and also has a strap to hold the cord once you wrap it up.
  • The cord is also very long and swivels where it connects to the iron, so it tangles much less frequently. The cord also has a Velcro strap for better storage and easier transportation.
  • The new swivel cord design avoids any cord frustration, and there is an attached Velcro piece that keeps the cord folded neatly and secure when not in use.
  • The only thing I dislike is the cord, which is unbearably long.
  • The cord stiff and cheap and the whole thing like a light plastic toy.
