I have the Oliso (you can turn the lift off) but it doesn't get as hot as I would like. I might try the Reliable BelloBoo spoke of. While the steam on the Oliso is great the temp is just so so. The Oliso is on sale I think for $115 on Amazon.

I purchased the first one that came out. It worked great for several years but no longer rises up when you put it down. It still irons great but it's heavy. I've gone back to a lightweight iron. It gets just as hot and I got an ironing board with one of those metal extensions on it that you put the iron it so it's not sitting on the ironing board and so can't get knocked off.

I brought one of those types of ironing boards too along with the cord holder. It made a world of difference. It seems as if finding the right iron is becoming like finding the right fit in jeans.

I looked long and hard for a good iron, and tried to like the Oliso. There were a lot of poor reviews on it. I finally went with a Reliable iron (the blue one) and couldn't be happier. It is pricey too, but worth the money.

Does yours have a little switch on the end, that will disengage the feature?
