i have the pink one and i love it.

I have the yellow one ! Was heartbroken when it stopped heating. Wasn’t ready to buy a new one because they are so expensive. Read somewhere that Oliso will repair/replace for a $60 fee (I think). So i packed mine up, paid and got a wonderful new one in return. I do not use any water in it. Love the auto lift feature. It is a challenge to use a different style of iron at retreats but haven’t scorched anything yet!

These irons just don't last. I bought 1 had problems had to pay $60 they sent a new one and it lasted 1 year. For that price, you should have longer longevity. Just not built to last.

Mine lasted a year and a half, then one day it just decided not to get hot anymore. Past the warranty period and I threw it away. Very disappointed! I now use an iron made by "General Mills." It's probably as old as I am and works every day like new.

For me, absolutely. After going through 3 Rowentas, I was done with that brand. I purchased an Oliso after using one at a quilt shop. I have had mine (pink Oliso Pro) for almost 2 years. I definitely would purchase another. It does take a little usage to get use to the auto lift feature.

I really wanted one but read too many bad reviews about longevity. I'm starting to buy cheaper irons these days.
And I don't use steam. I have a bottle with a nice mister for that.

This is exactly my experience. The retreat I go to twice a year has nothing but Oliso irons. When I get home, I'm so used to leaving them sitting down that I invariably scorch something and invent a few new words in the process. If you leave them standing up, like a normal iron, they shut off, which is maddening as well.

Consider carefully before purchasing one.

I had no problems with mine until about 10 days after the warranty was up. My iron at times does not shut off automatically after the 30 minutes of non-use. As a rule I always unplug my iron after I am finished with my work but there have been times that I just forgot and when I realized it, the iron was still on. Now I have to always turn the iron off and I pray that I don't forget again. Man was I bummed. I did complain to customer service and was told I could send it back for the $60 but I did not. I will not get another Oliso when I have to get a new iron.

I have I believe the original one (teal) I love my Oliso iron. My iron is somewhere between 10 & 12 years old I also have a Panasonic cordless iron that I use mostly for big yardage.

Thank you all for the tips !!!
