I don't go to Walmart very often, but I did buy an iron there for about $19 5 yrs ago that works great. Just have to remember to empty out the water when I'm done. Also have a Euro Steam that I bought at a MQS a few years ago that I use for fast, effective everyday ironing, not for quilting. I've been tempted by the Eliso, but hopefully, won't bite!
The most expensive iron I've purchased was a Reliable (ha! ha!) for just over $100. It didn't just leak, it streamed water very soon after I got it. Right now I'm really enjoying the Black & Decker I picked up for $1 at a garage sale. It hits up, hot, hot, hot, in nothing flat. No more expensive irons for me.

After going through three different expensive irons in less than a year (all returned for my money back when they died), checking out the Oliso ratings on Amazon and deciding there were too many unhappy customers, I went to WallyWorld and bought a $6.00 iron.
*LOL* After two years plus, it's still going strong! Heats properly, steams without dripping, and, best of all, it's very light weight so it is easy on my wrists.
If life gives you lemons, make Limoncello!
Update...have sent 10 emails to Oliso since October 12, and they are not doing anything....Do I have to say I am not happy with them......$200 for a machine that lasted 15 months....
Went to Walmart and bought a simple Rival for $9, it was the only one I could find that did not have a automatic shut off.....
Yes that is a real picture of my hometown Temecula, California. We feature premiere Wineries, World Class Golf Courses, Pechanga Indian Casino and Hot Air Balloons
Did you try calling? It's much easier for them to ignore emails than a live person on the phone.Originally Posted by Deborahlees
