Same here! It's the only iron I will ever use now. :)

I have a Rowenta that I've had for years. Knock on wood but it has never spit. I use 50/50 tap and distilled water in it and never let set with water in it.
I did have a cordless before the Rowenta and absolutely loved it. It wasn't a Maytag but loved it being cordless.
I would like to get another cordless iron but not sure on what brand.
Looking at the prices of the Oliso iron, if ever that did quit working that's a heafty amount of money to have wasted.

I have an Oliso I bought from a friend who didn't like it. I have a dedicated ironing station, so don't have to move it around. I do like the 'pick me up' feature, but sometimes turn it off. There is a little button on the back you can flip to make it into a regular iron. I don't put water in mine but use a spray bottle, so no opinion on leaking. It gets nice and hot and does not take long to heat back up. I also have a cheapie Black and Decker I take places. Its light weight, get nice and hot and was not much money. (My husband has his OWN iron for his shirts...so I don't have to share with anyone!)

i' on my 7th one. all other dumped water "like a newborn" (this was an expression a company rep used). The yellow one (current) appears to be working ok. The early ones - no.
There was a long thread several weeks ago about this iron.

I got the oliso iron because ironing exacerbates my arthritis. I thought this might help. It does because I don't have to pick it up. It doesn't get as hot as my Black & Decker, but it's hot enough. I do a lot of applique. I don't like that I have to keep my hand on the iron while fusing. If I move my hand, the iron lifts up. I like some things about it, but not others. It doesn't leak. It just depends on your needs whether you will like it.

I got one at wholesale price from a friend who has a shop. I really like it, but probably would not spend that much for another. I love my little travel Black and Decker. Got it for taking to class, and use it in my quilt room by my machine, for pressing seams.
