Like my Oliso. Took a while to get used to the feet coming down, but my right arm is weak and I love not having to lift the iron as much. I too have trouble occasionally witjh the front foot staying out and catching the fabric, but not too bad. I tried a friends Rowenta and that iron was HEAVY, only comment I had on that. As for price, I have the blue one and I found it on ebay for $60 which is almost half what they are at Joannes. Of course a 40% coupon could help that, too.
