It's great, quite lightweight with a long cord. The good thing is that the first setting is quite low, suitable for the diffuser, it doesn't frizz the hair, while the second is quite strong for straightening. As for durability, time will tell.

What made me buy it was purely the name, as I have been hearing from hairdressers about Parlux for years now. Also, it is very lightweight and for that reason, I highly recommend it - very important for me. Otherwise, I consider it quite expensive compared to the previous one I had from Babyliss with 2300w, which cost 55€ and I can say it did a similar job. However, time will tell its durability.
