For anyone with shoulder problems, it would be a blessing.

I purchased (yellow) one a couple years ago, on sale (I think $150.shh) I love it! Heats up fast, auto shut off. One draw back I have found... since using my auto lift Oliso, when I am at classes, retreats.... oops I sometimes forget to set the regular irons back up. I have been know to leave dark spots on the board.

I have seen a lot of reviews where the mechanism stops working after 6months, and have also heard customer service is not that great. The only way I would get one is if it was a gift, would never spend that kind of money on an iron. I paid a little over 60 for my rowenta that I love and found that to be expensive but have had it for about 7 years

I had my Oliso for two years and it quit working one day. I called them and they said to send it to them. They sent me a brand spanking new one for free. I've had it for a year and it works fine. I love it. It's the blue one.

I went to Joanns for some elastic foldovers and I saw the iron on sale for 139.99 so I took the pludge...its still in the car. My hands were full of 2.00 fabric and white muslim. The kona white was on sale but I did not like how it was see through so I bought another brand that seemed much nicer and I can not see through it. It was more money but seems worth it. No idea what the brand was.

I bought the yellow one a few years ago. It dripped water constantly, sometimes leaving brown spots on the fabric. I called the company and after I shipped mine to them, they shipped me a new one. I loved the concept! However, after 13 months, the new one simply sat down on it's legs and scorched my pressing table. Thank goodness I was nearby and no further damage occurred. I kept a close eye on it after that and a couple of days later it happened again. It was out of warranty and I could not trust it anymore.
I'm now using a $50 cordless Panasonic from Walmart that I LOVE.
