Do the plates FULLY touch each other? My current flat iron touches at the tip but eventually spaces out. :/

Yes, the plates are "floating" which means thet they have tension behind them, so they press against the hair no matter where it is on the plates. Handle to tip they make contact. One thing, the handle can get pretty hot, be careful.

No, the plates heat up quickly and they do not have to be closed together. This is my favorite flat iron EVER!

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.

I have put my flat iron and curling iron in while warm with no problem, but have never placed them in while HOT.

The two boards stick out slightly, but besides thaf, no it doesnt. But i do like it much more than my other flat irons

No. The "bristles" around the core and the tip of the core are made out of a hard rubber, so they don't conduct heat very well. You can actually touch them when the iron is on without discomfort. It's the metal core on the brush iron that gets hot ... hot enough burn if you're not careful. Hope this helps ...

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.

Good question. It worked great initially and then the steam stopped working. I have tried it now without steam and am not nearly as happy with the results. FYI. I have split ends now and never had them before, don't know if its from the flat iron but sure seems likely.

It's a standard tip for these gas soldering iron, since manufactures are different, so i m not for sure. For my experience, i have seem three different gas soldering iron use the same size tip, this s all i know.

My brush iron is already missing a couple of brisles also. I don't even remember It getting bumped. It also takes mime a while to get hot.

Hello, Thank you for your message. Sometimes the new irons are shipped directly from Quality Control, and a bit of solder remains on the tip after being tested. The units that we ship are brand new from the manufacturer. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Regards, Customer Service

Yes. It's clearly a design flaw. The steam trigger got stuck recently, and there is no way to get it unstuck. I used the iron occasionally for two years before running into the problem, but it easily could have happened sooner. I think it happened due to inadvertent contact with the top lock button while picking up the iron.

To date, this has not happened. I did add additional padding to the ironing surface. I like the spacial ironing surface and adjustable height. The metal work on the one end seems superfluous; the cord often gets caught on it.

The tip of the flat irons are a bit round, but does not include the plates. It is the purple one pictured.

Yes, my flat iron wasn't cool and I left it on the rack and it did melt a little bit.

The plates do clamp evenly without leaving any space in between. They do come together.
