Disappointed after owning a GHD previously

Verified Purchase
Having had a GHD I was excited when I saw this larger version and decided to 'upgrade'. However I am disappointed as it does not perform as well and nothing like I saw in the advertising. I did reach out within a day or so of trying it out to no avail.

Blown away!

Verified Purchase
I bought this a couple of weeks ago during the cashback promo as an upgrade. I was skeptical with my expectations as my current straightener a GHD Platinum wasn’t really performing great but I was hopeful the Chronos would at least be a bit better and quicker with the wide plates on my long thick hair. Guys, I’ve got to tell you, I am BLOWN AWAY! This straightener is SOOOO much better, quicker, my straight hair lasts longer is no longer feeling “thick” and course after straightening. It really is such an upgrade for me and I’m extremely happy and would recommend!
