At last!
By shrinking footprint
I just recently purchased this iron and so far am very impressed with the quick heat-up and ease of use. My last two irons were both Rowenta brand. They came so highly reccommended by clerks in fabric shops and by Martha Stewart, using one regularly on her show during craft segments. Well, my first one died in less than a year after purchase. It wasn't cheap! ($80-90.00 range) I sent it back to the company and asked if they could repair it and let me know what the charge would be since it was out of the warranty period. Two weeks later I got it back, not repaired with a short and somewhat rude note stating that since it was out of it's warranty they would not touch it, completely ignoring my offer to pay for the repair. Later I decided to try Rowenta again with a lower end model, (less expensive) that still delivered on the steam factor. Well that one lasted about 4 years total before it died but, the steam element went caput in only a few months after purchase. While I r esearched online for a better, more reliable iron, I struggled along with an old Black & Decker "Professional" model hidden away in the back of the linen closet. I was quickly reminded of why it was tucked back there, it weighs a ton and the steam element is terrible and leaked all over the place. When I saw this Oliso model on Amazon, I went to the manufacturer's website to get more info and found a short video on the home page showing all the unique features of this iron. I was hooked and knew I had to try one for myself! The i-touch scorch guards are so cool! It took me all of 5 minutes to get used to the idea of leaving the iron flat rather than standing it on it's heel. It heats up to temperature very quickly too which is great if you are in a rush. The knobs and selectors are very easy to read and understand and the water tank is actually accessible and easy to fill! What a concept!! I do alot of sewing both clothing and household items so this is a much needed and w elcome upgrade. I hope over time I will still be able to give this product the 5 star rating, depending on the lifespan of course. So far I am thrilled!...Well at least as thrilled as one could be over an iron!

Finally, THE BEST iron!
By Randall Stewart
Here is what my wife says about our new Oliso Iron:
Finally, someone updated the old iron! Do you remember when you first learned how to iron, and how inconvenient it was to learn to put the iron up on its end when you turned the fabric to iron more? With this Oliso, you no longer have to do that, as it has 3 feet that automatically come out of the bottom of the iron when you set it down on the faceplate and let go of the handle. Yes, the handle has sensors! This takes a little while to learn if you have been ironing the old-fashioned way with other irons, but once you do, it makes ironing such fun!
Other great features of this updated iron:
1) the controls are on top of the handle, not under, so the dial can clearly be read.
2) heats up very quickly.
3) has a large water reservoir, easy to fill.
4) an on/off switch on the base of the iron in case you decide you do want to iron the old-fashioned way.
5) very good steam feature.
6) comes in wonderful colors like sky blue or bright yellow and more!
My only word of caution: If you also use another iron - vacation house, sewing room, dorm room - replace that one with an Oliso, too. Because once you learn how to iron with an Oliso, you will forget to iron the old way and you'll leave the old iron down (oops!) - and besides, you will be used to having an iron with personality!

This iron is fantastic!
By Terri Krigbaum
I am taking a quilting class and they use the Oliso iron's there. I really enjoyed working with them so I purchased one for myself. I really like that you can just let go of the iron right in the middle of a project and it lifts and doesn't leave a burn spot! This iron is fantastic! Whoever came up with the idea is a genius. I would definitely recommend this to everyone I know.
