CHI and Maxiglide are good brands that I've seen excellent results from other ppl's fotki's, as for myself I purchased an inexpensive one from CVS by Conair they were only $24.99 , they have a temp. setting up to 25, come w/comb & boar bristle brush attachment, and they worked magnifacient I really wanted a pair of the other ones but didn't want to spend that kind of money just yet since I only will use them sparingly. I used them for the first time on my cousins natural hair which I normal press then curl but not this time I just used the flat irons with a little biosilk silk therapy and EVOO mixed and it did the job, so I'm happy.
