Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I need to replace my iron and am torn between the Rowenta and Oliso. Does anyone have any suggestions .,, pro or con?

I will never buy another Rowenta after the shoddy, rude service experience I had with the last one. I don't know anything about Oliso. My current iron is a Reliable Digital Velocity V100 - terrible name, but it produces the best steam of any iron I've ever owned, and it's made so that it can't leak. You can also put it in a mode so that it doesn't automatically shut itself off. I really like it.
I have had two Rowenta's and will never have another. Both made in Germany but still bad about heating and leaking. I also have the Reliable V1000 and love it. I have used Oliso at quilt shop and like it.Originally Posted by dunster
I have heard others complain about having problems with the Rowenta. And they complained about the horrible customer service also. I'm glad you mentioned the iron you have and the fact that it has a NO auto shut off feature. I do a good bit of piecing and I'm kinda slow so I HATE the auto shut off. I feel like I'm constantly turning the dang iron upside down so it wont shut off. LOL. I'm going to Amazon to see if they have the iron you do. LOL
I love my Rowenta. Purchased it at Costco. No spitting and it heats up faster than my previous Rowenta did. Good Luck in your search.

I've had several Rowentas. Have either worn them out or broken due to repeated droppage. No leaking issues or any other issues with them. No experience with Olisio.
Last iron I had was a Rowenta-never did heat up properly right from the start. I am convinced that now that they are made in China, they are all the same. They are not made to last, so I figure I'll buy a decent mid-priced iron and when it goes it goes. I am using a T-Fal iron now, it leaks a bit, but it steams super well.
My newest iron is a Rowenta and I love it. This one is actually made in Germany - not sure if that makes a difference. I think they are not all made there???? I had an Oliso for about one year and it died - won't get another.
I too have the one made in Germany and I love it. Have had it a few years now and don't have
any complaints. You are right about all of them not being made there.
so many quilts to make, so little time.
My Rowenta was made in Germany. Had it for years and love it.
