I had an Oliso for 2 years and it just went belly up on me. I am so disappointed. I loved that iron. I went and spent $120 and bought an iron at a quilt store. The brand is called Reliable. Ever hear of it? It's heavier than my other ones, which I like because the weight actually helps flatten my fabric, and the steam is wonderful. So far, this one is great, unless it dies before 2 years. I think we quilters do go thru irons fast because we iron soooo much. I iron constantly.
