which one is better? chi or Remington?

The answer to this question is in terms of what you're looking for from your hair straightener. Chi is more expensive model, and is used by many salon professionals. The heat settings are more fine tuned and the plates are thicker and ionized, so your hair gets straighter faster. For someone who straightens their hair every single day..this is a better options because it'll last longer. Remington is a good alternative at a cheaper price for someone who likes to straighten their hair but doesn't do it all the time. Week/monthy maybe. It does heat up quickly and straightens your hair pretty well w/out burning the ends. It takes longer in time than the CHI straightener does. I personally like the Remington more, only because I don't use it all the time. I probably use mine on a weekly or monthly basis...or just for special occasions. It gets the job done w/out burning/damaging my hair. I have long (to my waist) thick wavy/curly black hair, and I get my hair straight in about 25-35 min.My roommate has the CHI. She has shorter hair (about shoulder length) that's course but straight. She uses the Chi straightener on a daily basis to keep the frizz down and to maintain the shiny look in her hair. She gets her hair straight in about 5-15 min. I hope this helps. =

Can I use it in European plugs?

I bought this curling iron last time; the moment I plugged in the European outlet, it fried the iron and shorted the outlet right away. My 2nd trip to Italy, I bought this flat iron with a voltage converter and it worked perfectly fine this time. You need to use converter in 220v countries, check out this voltage converter: https://www.amazon.com/Key-Power-International-Straightener-Toothbrush/dp/B07M6GC1BW

Does this work on wet hair as well? looking to purchase one for the madam.

No. But hot irons in general should basically *never* be used on wet hair, unless they have some kind of blow dryer built into it.

What is the lowest temperature setting?

The lowest temperature setting is 300.

Relación calidad precio, excelente. Calienta muy rápido y tiene un seguro para que no se quede abierta la plancha cuando no se utiliza, eso ayuda mucho a que no estorbe al guardarla.

I did a lot of research on flat irons before ultimately purchasing this one. The cord swivels woth your natural movement so it does not get tangled, it heats up in seconds with a clear beep to alert you when its ready for use, and the biggest plus is it does not snag your hair. This is a smooth glide with results matching professional grade flat irons worth $$$$; you can not beat the price

The Remington S9500PP Pearl Pro Ceramic Flat Iron is one of the best straighteners I have ever used. Its 1-inch ceramic plates straighten my hair quickly and evenly. The Pearl Pro technology leaves my hair extra shiny and smooth. The heating time is incredibly fast; it’s ready to use in just 30 seconds. The digital heat settings allow me to choose the perfect temperature for my hair type, going up to 450°F. Additionally, the straightener glides through my hair without any pulling or breaking, keeping my hair healthy. Its sleek black design and ergonomic build make it very easy and comfortable to use. The long cord also provides great freedom of movement. The Remington S9500PP Pearl Pro Ceramic Flat Iron is an excellent product in terms of price-performance. I highly recommend it to everyone

Glides smooth on the hair. I have curly hair and was using that Babyliss flat iron. But it started tugging on my hair and pulling some off! I was looking through flat irons and came across this one. The price is perfect (i had already spent over 100$ on the other one so was not trying to spend too much). I use it at 390 degrees and my hair is smooth,shiny, and it moves around. If you have curly hair you you might kbow what i mean. Some flat irons leave the hair stiff. With this one my hair actually feela like if it was naturally straight. Great iron so far I love it!!!
