Flimsy and ineffective

I wasn't impressed with this iron. The plates don't quite close, except at the tip, leaving more than half a centimeter gap further back. This isn't really conducive to straightening hair. Also, the plates shift from side to side, as though the hinge is faulty. I had to use both hands (and a spare glove) to keep the plates closed and aligned, and still didn't have much luck. The heat setting options are minimal, with 75 degree differences between them. At the highest temp, it still didn't seem effective. I switched back to my old iron until I can find a better replacement.
