I was just waiting for someone to start a topic about irons.. I just love my .. Got it just a few months back, but didn't get to use it until my sewing studio was ready. It is an auto-lift Oliso. LOVE IT...LOVE IT. When I was in Home Ec. (60's) I burned the ironing board at school because I had left the iron down, I yelled out why can't someone make an iron that I could leave down, and bless pat someone has. It is perrrrr fect for me. I will not go back to the other kind. It is worth the 79.00. I have been ironing over 300 fat quarters since Monday.
