What is the best (and least expensive) hair straightener/flat iron out there?

i am planning to get a flat iron to straighten my hair. but there are so many options out there, i don't know which to choose. which flat iron do you use -- is it well worth its price? which flat iron do you recommend that is no more than $30? i don't need a heavy duty one, since i have medium-long thin sort-of wavy hair.What is the best (and least expensive) hair straightener/flat iron out there?
Revlon is the best. there really cheap like 18 to 30 dollars and they work as good as a chi.What is the best (and least expensive) hair straightener/flat iron out there?
I am not sure that you would get the best results with one under $30 but I recommend a conair ceramic straightener/ flat iron. You can find them for under $30 but if i were you i would spend a little more on a more affective flat iron. Go to www.folica.com for a huge variety of flat iron for all different prices. They also have smoothing products that work well too. You should also buy Halo smoothing shampoo and conditioner. This well help the results! I hope this helps!
Be careful of good bargain flat irons. They will burn your hair and leave the ends cinged after many uses and your hair will look poor instead of healthy and shiney. Flat irons should not be used except for special occasions b/c of their intense heat to the hair. But if you insist on doing so, be sure and invest in one from a good salon. I bought mine from Aveida and spent around $125 but its worth it, will last a long time and in the end not be as harmful to your hair.
make sure you hair straightener is CERAMIC... its the best
Just make sure that it is a ceramic coated one. The cheaper drugstore flat irons that don't have ceramic coating are bad. If you go too cheap on a flat iron, expect it to take you longer to straighten. Cheap flat irons don't clamp together smoothly and can pull out hair as you straighten. Also, they don't heat up fast or stay heated long. If you have thin hair, avoid the big clunky ones and get a thin plated one. Test them out by taking them out of the box and use it on a strand of hair. If it glides nicely and isn't too heavy then get it. Make sure you use a hair product that protects your hair before you straighten it. Overuse can really fry your hair. Good luck!

i reccomend purchasing a chi (ceramic) flat iron. you can get one on ebay for super cheap! they come highly reccomended, and that's what i'm doing!

I sincerely doubt that the ';best'; would be the ';least expensive';, so you are out of luck if you're expecting that. There isn't a lot of difference, it's just two pieces of metal that heat up. If you're concerned with quality, stick to a known brand like Conair.
i know the best is a ceramic flat iron that you can adjust the heat. mine is a ceramic Conaire brand and i got it at Wal*Mart for about 20 bucks........... plus tax of coarse....
