Oliso TG1600 1800 Watts Smart Iron Pro



I Love This Iron
I got this iron last week and was able to spend a full 12 hours (on and off) ironing with it recently. On one occasion during my marathon ironing session, I did have some water come out of the iron, but it was when I overfilled the water tank and was ironing forcefully and rapidly. It didn't leak from the steam vents, it appeared to splash a drop of water from above, and it wasn't a shocker to me. My GE iron used to soak my clothes out of the steam holes, every ironing session, so I know what 'spitting' is, and this iron definitely does not 'spit'.

I bought this model because as a quilter, I wanted an iron with an auto shut off, but I wanted an extended shut off time (the other models turn off a lot more quickly than this one). I love how fast this iron heats up. As for actual ironing--it does a very nice job---no better than any other iron would...every iron is simply a hot metal plate that presses out wrinkles..it's not rocket science...it's all about the bells and...

Oliso's customer service is extremely poor.
I purchased this iron in January, 2010 and by March, 2010, the front scorch guard broke. Oliso never responded to my emails, finally contacted me by telephone weeks later and refused to honor their warranty. I was informed their products don't break, I had to have dropped it (I truly didn't!), they don't repair anything, I can't have it repaired anywhere because no parts are available. My only recourse was to pay them $72 for them to replace my 2 month old iron. Buyer beware--this company is not reputable.

Very dissappointed
I received this iron about a month ago and have yet to use it when it does not leak. I am a quilter/crafter and even though the leaking does not leave brown steaks on the material it does get it quite wet and warps/stretches the fabric so I have to wait until it drys before I can continue to use the fabric. The iron leaks quite a bit of water so ironing the fabric dry takes a while. This is a waste of money for the novelty of having "feet" on the bottom of the iron.
