Remington Gloss 2-inch Flat Iron review

A wide Gloss iron, not a straightening brush

The current Remington US collection lists S9355US as a Gloss 2-inch Flat Iron. Its exact page and the page-linked instruction guide identify a standalone purple straightener; the manual cover reads S9355US (S45A), providing a direct model-family bridge. Remington separately sells Gloss styling tools such as a straightening brush and curling wand, so a collection-family name by itself is not enough to identify the device. The official photograph used here is the exact S9355US purple iron, shown closed.

The stated two-inch plate width is the defining fit question. A wide plate offers a broader nominal contact surface than a one-inch model, which may be worth comparing for a routine based on larger sections. It does not prove fewer passes, a faster result or convenient access at the roots. The manual tells users to section hair and start with lower layers; it also says to test a small section and adjust heat. That is the maker's method, not a measurement of this tool's performance on every texture or length.

Nine digital settings and a distinct PRO+ mode

The product page lists nine digital heat settings across a 300°F–450°F range, including a separate PRO+ setting at 365°F. The linked S45A guide describes the plus/minus buttons, temperature lock and PRO+ activation. This supports an adjustable classification, but the sources do not enumerate all nine exact setpoints. It would be inaccurate to invent a full sequence from another Remington model. The guide gives broad ranges by hair type and cautions about the hottest temperatures; those directions should be read as manufacturer advice, not as individualized medical or hair-care guidance.

The page describes advanced ceramic coating, Vitamins C, E and B3 micro-conditioners, tourmaline and shine-enhancing results. These descriptions help distinguish the Gloss story from S9531-VN's argan-oil-and-keratin Shine Therapy line, but they are not evidence of independent cosmetic testing. The product page's comparisons are qualified, and this assessment did not test shine, frizz, static, ingredient transfer, plate smoothness, heat accuracy, recovery or snagging. A special 365°F mode is a stated control setting, not proof of lower damage or a guaranteed outcome.

Electrical and setup requirements

The exact linked manual identifies S9355US (S45A) and specifies 120 V, 60 Hz and 77 W. It describes a corded appliance and does not document universal-voltage travel use. An adapter changes plug fit, not electrical supply. If you plan to use the tool outside a compatible 120 V supply, verify the exact rating on the physical iron and the destination's requirements instead of treating another model's voltage claim as transferable.

The manual calls the cord swivel and says the iron is ready in 30 seconds; it also describes a 60-minute automatic shutoff, temperature lock and dry, clean, tangle-free hair. It warns against using an extension cord. The exact page offers a three-year limited warranty. Neither the image nor the words “swivel” and “floating” tell us the lead's numeric reach, actual plate temperature or handling weight, so those facts remain unknown. If a cord must reach a particular mirror or outlet, find an exact measurement or confirm it from the exact offer before buying.

How it compares with another two-inch option

Remington S9531-VN is also listed as a two-inch flat iron, but its exact product page and S95 manual have a different source pattern: the booklet names S9511/S9531 in its coverage line and S9500/S9520 at the electrical type line. S9355US instead has the S45A manual label and an explicit 120 V, 60 Hz, 77 W rating. S9355US also advertises the separate PRO+ mode and its Gloss coating story. These are concrete reasons to treat the two page records separately even when the nominal widths match.

Before choosing between them, decide whether the two-inch width is genuinely useful in your routine, whether adjustable controls and the 365°F mode matter, and whether a 120 V corded tool works in your setup. Then check the exact S9355US code, seller, included pieces, return conditions and warranty terms for the listing in front of you. This is a source-based comparison, not a ranking or a claim of personal use. The maker's instructions and unit label matter more than generic promotional shorthand when confirming safe electrical use.
