Plate width, plate coating, and a stated temperature · review
Floating plates 110 mm (4.33 in) long, with a ceramic-tourmaline coating, ten temperature settings between 150 and 230 °C (446 °F), fifteen seconds to heat, and an automatic shut-off after sixty minutes.
Where it leaves us Ten temperature settings and floating plates, at the price of a fixed-temperature tool.
One hundred and ten millimeter plates, floating rather than fixed, with what Remington describes as an antistatic ceramic-tourmaline coating. Ten temperature settings between 150 and 230 °C (446 °F), a fifteen-second heat-up, an LED ready light and an automatic shut-off after an hour.
The specification that earns its place here is the adjustable temperature. Ten steps is a real range.
Floating plates are the second one: they pivot slightly so that pressure stays even along the strand rather than concentrating at one end of the plate. Remington states both. What this page does not do is tell you where to set the dial.
Where this iron sits among the twelve straighteners here is unusually clean to describe. Ten settings is the second-finest division on the shelf; only the Arkam’s twelve is above it. One hundred and ten millimeters of floating plate is a length only two other straighteners state at all — one of them its own sibling. Fifteen seconds is the quickest heat-up published here, shared with the S8540 and the American Remington at $34. What is missing is the price: nine of the twelve publish one, from $14 to $70, and this is one of the three that do not. The S8540, at $70, is built on these same plates; the BaByliss ST393E and ghd gold complete the European four on the hair straighteners shelf, and what the temperature dial means explains the range.

It decides how much hair passes per stroke: narrow plates reach a fringe and work close to the root, wide plates cross long hair in fewer passes. Remington does not publish it for this model; the 110 mm (4.33 in) stated is the plate length. With long, thick hair, check the listing photo or the manual before ordering.
That is not a question this site answers. Remington publishes a range of 150 to 230 °C (302 to 446 °F) across ten settings; which setting suits your hair is a matter for the manual that came with the tool and for a hairdresser who has seen it. What matters when buying is that the temperature is adjustable at all — a straightener with one fixed setting decides for you.
7.4/ 10
Ten temperature settings and floating plates, at the price of a fixed-temperature tool.
Short to mid-length hair, and a first straightener where the temperature must still be adjustable.
