I THINK it works well, is my first straightener so nothing to compare it to. I will say for my beard it takes me like 20 minutes of straightening before im happy enough so maybe its just "OK".
I got mine in 2022 for my beard. BUT. Once there begins to be some build up burned onto the heat elements from your protective spray/detangler/oils, it is difficult to clean.
The issue is the heat elements, or "teeth", are too close together so getting between them with some type of nylon bristle brush to knock of the build up is quite a hassle.
To be fair, I have not cleaned mine consistently, maybe every month or 2. if you clean it on a weekly basis yours may last longer without the build up getting too bad but also depends how much product is in your beard when you straighten it. For example at times the beard just isnt cooperating when you straighten it , you think a little oil and balm will do the trick but then it doesnt, so then you go to straighten some more, now theres product getting on the heat elements.... it all adds up and eventually cakes onto the teeth and is burned and has a smell that will just go into your beard if you use it like that.
So now im in the market for one that has a bit better spacing in the teeth so cleaning is more efficient.
