Use a dry iron with Best Press. No worries about a leaking iron and the fabric does not get so wet. You will also avoid those dirty little brown leaks from your iron. I finally settled on the Panasonic NI-WL600 iron. Purchased it through Amazon and saved money and bought the 2 year warrantee. Paid $78 plus change. Was selling elsewhere for $99 and $129. Should arrive next week. I press seams open and this one is supposed to be the bomb for that. I considered the Olisio but read bad reviews and even had one dealer refuse to sell it. Said there is too many problems with the lift springs going bad and poor customer service. Seems life expectancy is about a year. The ratings for best irons said this Panasonic is the highest rated iron with 98.8 rating. I guess I'll see! lol I'll let you know when I try it. Thanks to all who posted here. This board is the best! Janet
I have had different brands of irons. Some were good and some were not good. My last iron was the pink Oliso and it was still going strong after two years. I gave it to my daughter because I needed a lighter weight iron thanks to a torn muscle in the right rotator cuff. I got the Panasonic N1-WL600 at the same price from Amazon a few months ago. I use steam and/or Best Press; the iron works well either way. The wattage range is 120V for low heat to 1500W for the highest heat setting. After I read the manual, I got used to how it works and I LOVE it. No regrets at all!
