Source: chi.com (verified 2026-06-15) · corroborated by target.com. $100 and dual voltage confirmed at chi.com. Ceramic plates, 1-inch width, single pre-set 392°F (analog on/off, no user-adjustable temperature, so heat_settings=1) confirmed at chi.com and Target. auto_shutoff CORRECTED true->false: the GF1001 is the analog on/off model and has NO automatic shut-off (chi.com lists none; Target title explicitly says 'Analog On/Off Switch'). The draft confused it with the separate CHI Original DIGITAL model, which does have 1-hour auto-off.
