Product Description
The new patented Smart Touch handle senses your hand and lowers the iron to the fabric. Simply let go of the handle and the patented Auto Lift system raises the iron, protecting the fabric and the soleplate. Scorch marks and heavy lifting are now a thing of the past. The Touch & Glide nonstick soleplate glides effortlessly over the fabric to make your ironing easier and take less time. The powerful steam burst works vertically or horizontally to remove stubborn wrinkles.

I bought this iron six days ago. It is very heavy, has a low steam burst. Tried ironing a couple of pants, but my hand felt as if it was going to get a blister. I’ve owed twenty dollar irons that have done a much better job. This has been a major waste of money. This iron was a huge disappointment.

I received this Oliso iron as a gift, and only used it occasionally. I had it just over a year, when the heating element died. After reading so many complaints about this iron, I knew it would just break again if I got it repaired. I still had my old Rowenta iron which I used for over 5 years, and it still works great. I knew that the Oliso was no longer under warranty, so I called their customer service to see if they would recycle it, since I no longer needed it. Although the csr was very polite, the answer I got was very disconcerting. I was told that an additional 5 year warranty to replace the Oliso was $29.95, but they do not recycle broken irons and I was instructed “to just toss it.” I would have been happy to send it back to them and I’m sure that they could have reused the parts. Aside from the heating element not working, it is in perfect condition. And, no, I’m not going “to just toss it” so it can sit in a landfill for the next 100 years. Eventually, Oliso is going to have to figure out a recycling program, because they are making a questionable product. I wonder how many Olsio irons do end up in the garbage. For the price of this iron, I would recommend investing in Rowenta. They are a reliable company.

I bought this iron about 10 months ago and paid $129.00 for it. I am a quiter and it was perfect for my needs. Loved the lifting mechanism and the amount of steam it put out. When I bought this iron, I expected a few years of use for the amount of money I spent on it. It died!!!! Stopped heating. Going out to buy a Rowenta.

Broke down and bought this iron when I read about it in Time Magazine. It’s expensive, but worth it. The safety features of the legs are incredible (why didn’t someone come up with this before?) and it’s just a well-made product.
