Handle looks a little curved so when you close the iron does the whole metal plate touch?

This is an amazing flat iron----light weight with great performance! I see the curve in the picture that you are referring to, but in use, the iron is straight. Yes, the entire metal plate is used. This item far exceeds the value of my previous flat iron---in results...& cost. I love it!

No I highly recommend the revlon....it's newly half the price and way better!!!! I couldn't be happier. This one was a waste of money :-)

Depending on how thick the hair is, yes. I've never had trouble closing the iron or getting the metal plates close enough to straighten the hair. The iron gets very hot, no complaints so far. Hope this helps

It is not a problem for me, I've had other irons that operate the same way. It does go off by itself in a short while if not used. If uncomfortable with this you can unplug the iron. I love this iron, and I do a lot of ironing.

Don, there are finger grooves on both sides of the handle. The way your fingers curl around the knife, you dont really feel the grooves against your palm. All the contours on the handle are pretty rounded and it feels good in my hand. I've had this knife for a few months now, and I reallylike it.The spine of the blade is quite thick and gives the impression that the blade won't easily be snapped under heavy use. Hope this helps.

yes, all four are curved. this is a little on the heavier side than most flat irons I have had.

I don't have any kind of machine to look under the rubber handle but I stuck a magnet to the opposite end from the point and all up and down the handle and the magnet stuck fairly strong to where ever I stuck it. So it looks to me that it is a full tang. I like mine very much.

The iron was a gift so I don't use it but I think there's an off on dial under the handle.Hope this helped!

The mesh is not smooth, so it may feel rusty but mine was not actually rusty at all. The handle definitely looks aged. I was very happy with the antique feel of it but I guess it's not for everyone. As far as what the other person said about breakage, I overstuff mine on a regular basis and have had zero issues

Yes, it glides well and steams well, including a burst of steam. The handle design makes it a bit unsteady on the ironing surface so I use a square tile to set it on and have no problems.

Don't seem to have the same problem. Could it have been twisted at some point? The hinge may have a loose feel to allow you to close it with the batter on the iron. The will allow the top to sit level for an even cooking surface.

I did a quick check using a small piece of rare earth magnet. I think the metal runs to about 3/4 inch away from the end of the handle. So it is probably a bad idea if you hit the handle with a hammer. However, the handle feels strong and very secure. The balance is pretty good, too.

No it doesn't. I like the way the cord exits the iron's body though, and doesn't get in the way when using.

Yes. On my iron it's gray. It's a little bit difficult to open. I set my iron down flat and flip it open, then set it back up on the end to fill it up. Then it just snaps shut.

Hmmm.. I'm holding mine and looking at the same area on the flat iron (i think)...Where the power cord connects to the body of the flat iron it does move. In fact it rotates all the way around, so that you don't end up with a tangled cord all the time, like on most appliances. If that's where you mean...then the answer is "yes". If some other area...then the answer is "no"

In my case, no! Works good for me! But you just take the handle never touch other part .

I'm guessing it could be a slightly different handle, going by a steamer insert that I ordered last year. You may want to compare photos carefully.

Handle should turn easy. Mine did from the beginning. Something could be wrong.
