Pros: heats up quickly, doesn't pull your hair out, great price, leaves your hair soft and shiny, fun colors and designs to choose from, long cord
Cons: didn't find any!

"I absolutely love this straightener! I have tried several different kinds over the years, and this one definitely gave me the best results. The last straightener I had was a Bed Head, which I spent $70 on, and it just randomly stopped working all together one day and I hadn't even had it for a year! I bought the GVP on sale for $49.99 and it works great! My hair is short, but really thick, so I need a powerful flat iron! The GVP works perfectly. It heats up in less than a minute and gets really hot, so I get super straight and super soft hair! Other straighteners would snag stray hairs and pull them out (ouch!) but the GVP slides through my hair very smoothly and never pulls my hair! One of the best purchases I've ever made! I would definitely recommend this straightener to anyone!"

"i have curly hair and i was very disappointed coming from using a jilbere for three years to this it leaves my hair not straight and i have to go over it more than a couple times. i would take it back but it was more than 15 days when i got around to using it.I will be going back to buy a jilbere but not a GVP anytime soon!!So if you have natural curly hair this is not the straightner for you!!"

"As a cometologist, I bought a GVP after my fomer flat iorns didn't hold up. The others had snagged hair, caused split ends ( from snags and "popping" fine hair off), and just did not do the job they were supossed to do. My GVP has not let me down once! It has been a tool that is definatly worth my hard earned money! If fact, I am planning on buying two more- one for myself at home and the other for a good friend of mine. Thank you GVP for a Fantastic tool!"

"Got this product about two years ago. When I first got it, it worked perfectly. I have nice soft hair, but it doesn't get to my roots the way it use to. So I'm probably gonna go back and buy a new one because I really did like it."

Pros: heats up quickly, adjustable heat setting, leaves hair shiny and smooth, great at creating curls

"I've had a lot of different straighteners and nothing has been able to top the GVP flat-iron. I really wanted to be able to curl and straighten my hair with one product and kept hearing reviews about how great the Chi product was. Unfortunately, the price was not great for my budget, so I went ahead and took a chance on the GVP and I'm so glad I did.
The problem with the Chi compared to the GVP is that you cannot adjust the heat setting on the Chi. The GVP ranges between 200 and 410 degrees, so you can straighten the thick sections of your hair or just your bangs.
It's also amazing at creating curls, as advertised. Once I figured out the technique, there's no way I'm going back to my curling iron. It leaves my hair incredibly smooth and shiny.
It does snag on my hair a bit, but I don't believe this is the fault of the straightener. Snags come from either holding the flat-iron too tightly, using too high of a heat, or not using a heat protectant on your hair. My hair is fairly dry, so I have to make sure to use a product before straightening and I've only encountered snags when I didn't do this.
This product isn't remarkably better than the Chi, I would say they're about equal to one another. However, the GVP product is much cheaper and I would definitely recommend this version for those not wanting to break the bank on a flat-iron."

"They are Great Vaule....the name says it all. I've never had any problems with this flat iron, heats up well and leaves hair shiny. Can't ask for anything more!"

Pros: pink skinny really hot

"it is an okay iron, but i had a much cheaper one for 5 years and it just wore out yesterday. for $70, i thought it would be AMAZING. it was just okay. i am going back tomorrow to get another one, and hope to find one that lets me know somehow when it's hot."

Pros: everything good about it

"I have had my GVP Flat Iron for over 2 years. I have naturally curly hair, so it's hard to straighten. I've had no problem since I bought this iron. It still gets as hot today as it did the day I bought it. I use it every day. I have soft, straight, no-frizz, or no burnt hair. But it don't stop there. My grandaughter lives with me. She has hair more curly than mine. It is the impossible hair, unless you want curls everywhere. She also uses the iron every day since I purchased it. So it gets a workout. We keep it clean & the cord never twisted. Going to start on 3rd year soon."

Pros: quick-stays hot, price is great, pink is coolest
Cons: none-works great

"My stylists have always told me I have the THICKEST hair they have ever seen, Thick in volume & the strands are very thick & wavy. This flat iron is the ticket- no other iron works this well. Heats up quick, stays hot, my hair stays straight for days even in the rain. My hair comes out soft as silk, no snags or breaking, Now I have
the hair all my friends want- soft, straight,
shiny- BEST of all- does my hair quickly, used to take 40 mins- now 15 and done!!!"
