This is a very good iron. I got this for my sister and she liked it. At first, the spring clamps were too tight for her, and it hurt her hair. However, after a couple of use, she got used to it and now it's working great. It heats up pretty fast, gets warm in 15sec.
There are three heat setting: low, med, high. And one power button.
The cord can rotate 360 degrees so your cord doesn't get tangle while you iron. It feels very solid at a little bit over 1 pound. I also got a second one for my other sister. Overall, it's great curling iron.
