I've had my pink Olisio almost two years and love it. It shuts off after 8 minutes and it reheats quickly. This saves on electricity as compared to the 30 minutes for the yellow Olisio. I used a Rowenta steam generator almost 6 years before it started to smell as if it was burning. Replaced it with another steam generator; I should have known better because it went bad within a couple years, a very expensive lesson!
