Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
At number 7 in our guide to hair straighteners, the Remington Pro Straight S5525 is a £31.99 corded straightener with wide 110mm floating plates and a claimed 230°C top temperature. The listing's bullet points and specification table both give that 230°C figure, but a customer review on the same page states the tool reaches 250°C. That is the kind of mismatch this guide looks for: the listed number and the user's number do not agree.
The Remington also carries a 4.6-star rating from 5,816 reviews, with 81% of those being 5-star. It comes with a 3-year guarantee, a heat-proof pouch and a 15-second heat-up time. Everything here is taken from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing.
