I purchased this type of iron three years ago, and have bought several since then. This one is new and has been kept in storage. It heats up quickly, and with a 26mm barrel, it's easy to style the hair around your face. It glides smoothly, and the barrel is long, making it easy to curl your hair. (With temperature control function) - Model Name: CRYSTAL - Power Source: AC power - Color: Black Operation confirmed. Thank you for looking.
