Hi there. I am sorry that I won't be able to answer you because this was for my ex-girlfriend. So good luck on your search.

The iron is roughly similar in size to the Chi, maybe a fraction bigger. I used to have the Remmington Wet 2 Straight and that was bigger than the Amika. It goes up to 425°F.

It's not too small, and it heats up really well. I have hair that can be very resistant to heat styling, but the amika works great on my hair, doesn't burn it, and not only flat irons it straight but also curls it if you flip it just so. I had one and I broke it - so I immediately got another one here at amazon because I couldn't do without it. Takes a lot for me to be "brand-loyal." Hope that helps you. P.

The temperature goes to 425 or 450 and it's a medium size. ..I love it. .. best flat iron I've tried compared to hot tools, conair, and Chi. .. Also you can control the temperature. ... Hope this helps

This iron is a medium to medium-lightweight iron. It does perform well as I am a quilter and use it daily for long periods of time.

No it is just one temp of 430 degrees. The reason I sent mine back. None of the small irons are adjustable from what I have seen.

Meg, I purchased the V200 because it has the option of selecting continuous steam since I do a lot of sewing and quilting and had this feature on a previous iron. I truly love this iron and would recommend it to everyone. I have not had any water spitting problem with this iron which makes the iron worth its weight in gold. There is no better iron on the market as far as I am concerned.

I had other bad experiences with this iron. Steam left big water spots on silk ruining a lovely scarf After using it once I gave it away. Didn't use it long enough to have trouble with the filaments. Sorry. Marci

Wash in delicate cycle remove promtly, then hang dry and iron with a cotton pillow case or similar to avoid burning, use silk setting on your iron it is a good material and it responds well to low temperatures.

I LOVE my iron...I've had no problems with it, I always override the auto shut-off, and the steam stays on without keeping my finger on the button. I use it constantly and love it!

I need a dependable iron (meaning one for YEARS not months/days) that does well with cottons and synthetics but I use a spray bottle--not trusting even bottled water to save an of today's irons from spitting....I just want one that will get hot and stay hot when I am ironing cottons...the two irons I am currently using in separate locations don't seem to get very hot.

Highest is 450 and I've gone down to at least 300, and think you can go to 250, maybe lower. Just a note: This is my second iron, the first got smashed in my luggage. The first was great-this one shuts off periodically with 'error message'...just waiting for it to go completely (only 1 year old)...will buy another brand next time-maybe just a freak thing but...

I did the same thing, I used the 20% off. Final cost was $31.99. Great iron.

I already had a $120 R______ Brand and it just didn't get hot enough. I bought this one in hopes that it would and it does the trick for my heavier fabrics. I am a seamstress and needed something that could heat up quickly and press those seams flat. I don't think you will be disappointed with this one. I like it much better than my other big brand iron!

I got the 1 and 1/2 inch one too and it has a 5 year limited warranty. This is a great iron. My only complaint would be the finish is coming off a little on the edges near the plate. It doesn't affect the performance and I suppose at the high temps it isn't a surprise but you'd think they'd have a solution for this. However, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It works wonderfully.

The crystals I got with the iron are not Swarovski. I happened to also order Swarovski's at the same time. The Swarovski's were much easier to work with, and did not fall off of the material. I wouldn't use the ones that came with. That being said, see if the larger crystals match up with any of the tips that came with the iron. The size is written on the side of the tip. Good luck.

I bought this as an Xmas present for my grand daughter; so I have no idea re the temp settings; but do know that she loves the iron. Crimps her hair quickly; so doesn't take that long to get ready for school. Was a good buy!

I can't tell you if this iron is better...but I LOVE IT....I use it for sewing and quilting and am very very happy :) it does use a lot of water...but I don't mind refilling it when needed. one problem.. can hit steam button and turn it off because of its location...I'm now aware of this and careful not to hold iron near the button....

I must say it is a nice little iron. It has a very long cable which is very helpful for ease of use. It is steam which is always great for seams and more. The only thing I would say is the nose is pointed yet not as much as one of those mini clover irons. otherwise I do recommend it, if your seams are 1/4 of an inch you may need a smaller point. I hope this helps. kind wishes lily

This iron reaches 400 degrees only. I have nothing bad to say about this iron.
