there are many happy users here according to all the threads about irons! I haven't used one so can't speak to happy, but I just came back from a week long retreat and members volunteered to bring the ironing boards. Before the first day was over all 4 boards had scorched covers from the Olsio users being used to leaving them down. There were some pretty mad board owners. So my question would be do you ever iron with others or is all your ironing done at home?
