Oliso ... not sure of the model but it's the yellow one.

Some things I love about this iron:

12' cord
30 minute shut off!!!
It gets hot fast but more important it STAYS hot. I've never had to wait for my iron to get hot after prolonged use
I have never scorched my fabric with this iron and I've been known to 'cook' my blocks to flatten them into submission
The little feet that raise it up and down - I confess I turn this option off most of the time, but when I'm ironing yardage and I need all the space on my board for fabric, it's nice to have the feet on so I can place the iron on my cutting table (not the mat) and the feet will raise it off the surface. It's much sturdier when you sit it flat (not upright) with the feet down - less likely to knock it over.

I do not use steam in my iron. Ever. So I can't comment on how the steam option works.
