I love my oliso. I dont think I could ever go back to a regular iron again. It took me a year to finally cave in and get one. The biggest attraction to me is that the sole plate is facing down and no accidental bumps from my dane puppy whose nose is now higher than my ironing board or from my kiddo. My last iron was a black and decker that lasted until the dane and kiddo bumped the ironing board and it fell forward and rolled off my ironing board and shattered.

I am not happy with them anymore and have heard good things about Oliso...I currently have almost worn out the B&D tht is less than a year old. So I am going to check out the Oliso

Oooo thanks, haven't heard of this brand. Will have to check it out.

I'd like to know where one can find a Tfal these days. I want one and cannot find it even on line.

I'm with you. No matter how much you pay for them (Rowenta, Maytag), the expensive ones last until the day after the warranty expires. Which is a year. I bought a cheap Shark iron at Target and it's fine with me. It has good steam, get hot enough and was 22 bucks.
