I've had 3 Rowenta's - 2 normal size and one travel iron - and swore I'd never buy another. Last year, I found an old one at a thrift store and bought it, as I'd heard that they used to be great irons. As it is in our winter home, I haven't had a chance to use it for more than a few months, although thus far it seems to be great. I wouldn't spend the money on a newer one.

I've had an Oliso for about a year, having got it on a great sale. Like many, as I age, my wrists and hands bother me. I do find this easier to use, but sometimes, if I move it quickly from the resting position to a block or piece of fabric, the legs haven't fully retracted and it gets caught on whatever I am ironing.

I do use steam; not always, but frequently. I see no point in having an iron that requires me to use a separate sprayer.

My dream is a Laurastar, but as I don't have much space, I don't kinow how I'd make that work, even if I was going to spend the money on it.
