I bought an Oliso pro about 2 years ago and still love it. It has a nice weight and is well-built. There was a short adjustment period because I was used to setting up an iron after using it, and the Oliso has the built-in lift. But I am so spoiled now...I would absolutely buy it again! I purchased mine on e-Bay for about half the retail price, but there are other quilting store sites offering great deals as well depending upon the model you are looking for. My daughter will be going off to college next year and she is all but begging me to take it with her. I will probably give in, which means I will soon be in the market for another one!
