Oh, I bought it from Amazon. My hubby and I are Amazon junkies! He pays something like $75 a year for shipping and most of the things we buy ship free and fast.

The shut off was terrible when sewing. He got the fancy new one.
Ya, I'm done with it. (It's 4 weeks old). I suppose if it would go 30 minutes before it shuts off, but I swear it has to be about ten. |
I had two Rowenta's, Martha Stewart used that brand and raved on and on about how good they were. They both leaked within 6 months. I have an Oliso that I bought almost 4 years ago and it is still going. I have two Proctor Silex irons that I use for MABD's, but the Oliso has been my favorite. I have read threads on here about people not having good performance from them, but this one doesn't owe me a dime.

Separate chamber and heating components for water/steam Separate temp settings for soleplate and steam, so soleplate can be set at low for delicate fabrics, and still have high steam (or any other combo you might want to use) a replacable filter in the water chamber to filter out the calcium and stuff that ruins so many irons... oh and did I mention it has AUTO-SHUT-OFF-OVERRIDE!!??!! |
I love my cheapo Panasonic that I've had a loooong time! A lot longer than my Rowenta that I didn't like at all!

I have been very happy with my Rowenta but this post has intrigued me....I'm on a well with very hard water. Where did you find the Reliable V100 ?[/quote]
Amazon.com carries them |
