I have been wanting to ask this question for quite some time, as I think the Olisio looks great on videos. I wondered if they lasted any better than the others. I have used the cheapies, the Rowenta, the T-Fal and the Reliable and all of them have spit and sputtered. I have wondered about the pressure steam. Will you share a little more of your experience with that iron? I do like an iron that gets hot and doesn't shut off.
