I bought this nova hair straightener from amazon 2 years back and gifted it to my wife but since then she had used it twice...the built quality is very bad. It takes 15 minutes to get warm but she is still unable to straight her hair whenever she gets ready for a party...it is really annoying. Bought it at the cheapest price....but it would have better to buy a Philips hair straightener at this price or may be a little bit more....but I would prefer no one to buy this nova hair straightener
