I've used this flat iron for 7-years, mostly because I didn't know any better that there were other better types of flat iron.
My issues with this flat iron are:
1. Split end city. This iron will rip your hair up because of the hair eating hinge and the actual plates that tend to grab tight and offer little slickness for your hair to glide through.
2. It's heavy and frumpy to deal with.
3. These things break, although I have seen reviews for other brands having way shorter life spans and since all I've ever used is this brand, maybe I just don't know. But the last two have broken in the exact same fashion - they are made entirely of plastic and the plastic around the hinge becomes dry and brittle and completely snaps leaving the top plate just hanging by the inner wires. This seems to happen every 3-years.
4. There's no heat control.
Pros:
1. This thing travels in my suitcase across continents. It hangs out in padding in airplane cargo ... with all the travel I guess 3-years before the plastic crumbles is better than I give it credit for. Although maybe I am packing it safely and maybe other brands would travel well too?
2. I like the comb on the end of it. Makes it easy to straighten hair.
3. The tip is made so you can grip it tight without burning your finger tips.
Did the job

I have used many flat irons from Hot Tools, to Chi, to Sedu and this has been my favorite so far. I have baby fine frizzy, fly-away hair and this met my every need. I give it an A.

This is my third purchased from folica. First off, this is a wonderful company to order from. They deliver as promised But I did not care for this item at all. I thought the combs would be an advantage. I find that they are not. They get stuck in my hair plus because of the combs, I have difficulty placing my hair in the flat iron. I think because of the combs the iron is unable to open up enough. Also I don't think it grabs the hair good. Folica has a money back guarentee that I should have taken advantage of, but I didn't. If you want a great inexpensive flat iron go for the solia!
Wonderfully wowed!

I just bought my first Solano flat iron because my hair stylist uses it on my hair and it always feels so wonderful and healthy, not dried out and straw-like like other irons do. I absolutely love this iron!!!! Highly recommended!
