After all the himming and hawing deciding what iron to buy-and after all the comments on this board about different irons, I set out to buy the Oliso. I settled (mostly because of the difference in price-wanting to justify buying a new machine too), on the Shark Professional at Walmart. Got it home, collected rain water (luckily, it rained at that time) and proceeded to use it. Although being fairly heavy, I was really happy-until it leaked from the bottom-OK, I thought, it's new and will stop once it is used for the first time. Well, it stopped for a few sessions, and then started again. I was always wiping up water from the ironing board which leaked from the bottom (not the sole plate holes). I got fed up so just packed it up and took it back! I think I will just continue using my 6 year old cheap Walmart GE lightweight for a while until I can afford the Oliso I wanted in the first place. (got my new machine-which I LOVE, by the way!) Anyone else have this problem?
