I've had the Oliso for a few months now - so not long enough for much of a review.

So far - what I have come to love
1. I don't worry about bumping into it (the hot plate) while it's sitting on it's end on the iron board
2. I don't worry about knocking the ironing board and having it tip over and fall on the floor (I've lost most of my irons that way, after a fall or two - something stopped working correctly).

3. I love that I can just slide it off the fabric and let go - though it does get hot enough under it so you don't want to set it over something that can't take the heat (like your cutting mat . . .)
4. I have the one that stays on for 30 minutes, which is nice.
5. I really like the stepped shoulder of the plate, I've found that notch works very well for pressing seams open.

I do not use steam, so I can say how well that feature works. You can also turn off the auto lift feature if you are doing something that you need the iron to sit on for a bit. And I have not had it long enough to comment on long term durability.
