I have had about 5 irons in the past 5-6 years...so far they all break in one way or another. I have had mostly hightly recommended ones, but they all have negative reviews as well. I didn't go for the Olisio because it has some really bad reviews and I wasn't excited about the price...so can't rate that one. I currently am using one my husband picked up to do his wood laminating...$10 I think he paid...It works just like all my others. So far only used it for about 4-5 months...we will see...but I can buy 10 a year for that price!
