This lists at $199.99 and with 40% off would be $119.99. They didn't have the Oliso Pro in stock, but I think that I would have liked the 30 minute shut down timer vs the 8 min shut down timer and the little larger ironing area for just a few more dollars.
Have fun shopping for YOUR perfect iron.
That didn't take long. We never added water to the purple one, but after thinking about it for a day we took the purple one back and bought the Pro Yellow one for a whopping $12 and some change more. The first store didn't have any of the Yellow ones in stock when we bought the purple one. While I worked today, the wife drove down to another city close by and found a yellow one. Longer time before shut off and a little larger ironing area. When the pricing was so close it was silly to buy the purple one.
My wife kept saying "this one will be just fine, I don't need that one". Then she paid the minuscule difference and saw the spec difference and now she is happy that she swapped them out.
