I'd go with a nice Black and Decker if you like steam. If no steam is needed I'd buy that Continental Dry Iron again in a minute. My friend had 3 of those Oliso - yellow version and everyone... the feet failed. A bad batch maybe, but still burned up her ironing board. Thank goodness she caught it right away and the drapes didn't catch on fire. I've had several Rowenta's and they have been awful.

My new Sunbeam Pro Steam just came today. After owning two Rowenta over the past few years both having bad leaking issues I decided to make a change. I know nothing about the Oliso but the Sunbeam Pro steam had several good reviews from fabric shops - so for less money we will see. It has a super long cord but did not get the retractable cord as my iron is set up all the time ( cannot sew w/out it) Just my preference I guess.:p

I have an expensive Rowenta. It started leaking right after I bought it. I have an inexpensive iron I like much better. I would never buy another Rowenta.

DH bought an Oliso and I've tried to like it. I find that I don't like the auto-lift feature as anticipated so I use it as a conventional iron. This poses an issue with the iron's feet catching the seamline, and wrinkling new creases.
I'm probably going to reinvest in a traditional iron that produces good steam.

I wouldn't buy another Rowenta. I've had 3 and they all leaked. Don't know anything about Oliso.
