I bought one about two years ago. It worked for about 6 mos--it doesn't jump any more, so I use a sturdy Black & Decker.

I'd never buy one, but if someone gave it to me I'd like it. Otherwise, I use my trusty B&D -- good enough for me.

I have one and love it. Note though I never use steam. Have had it about 3 years ... perfect.

Love the extra long cord
Love the surface
I love the fact that it has a nice heavyish weight to it .. I don't like light weight irons

As for the feet ... I don't always use that feature so I turn it off a lot.

That is a great price.

I noticed on F&P they had switched from an Oliso iron to a Reliable iron. Nice to know everyone's opinions. I have an old Bernina that was STILL made in Germany. I know find I am spray starching a lot more since a can is so inexpensive at Walmart....

I know three people with the Olisio irons. Of the three, only one is still working within a year of purchasing and according to that friend, hers is beginning to act up (spitting, but so far, still pops up, though she suspects not for long).

I have a Rowenta I love, but it was a gift (they are so heavy, I wouldn't have bought one on my own) and when it does finally go, I will go back to my trusty Black & Decker's. Love those irons!!
