I hadan Oliso, it literally caught fire while I was using it. That was ok because it spit steam out and it wasn't my friend. I replaced it with a Hamilton Beach Durathon from Walmart for around $45.00. It has a teflon soleplate and 1700 watts of power so it gets nice and hot. It does have auto shut-off and a retractable cord. I picked it because of the wattage, it has good steam and not real heavy. I don't use steam that often, I use Best Press or spray starch.
