I was ironing and kept smelling something like hot wires, everything seemed ok at the time, then all of a sudden smoke rolled and it popped, it burned up right before my eyes. I talked to another lady at the Quilting Guild and She had the same iron and had the same experience. I loved the iron but will never buy an expensive iron again, I now own an iron I got from Savers for $2.10 and it works great, lol.....gets plenty hot and is a Sunbeam, love it.
I had one that refused to shut off. The dial was defective, too. It was one of the yellow ones. I gave it to a friend who does automatically pull the plug and bought another Reliable. I wouldn't have even bought the Oliso if I could have found filters for the first Reliable I had.
I have an older Sunbeam that still works. It doesn't steam enough to suit me.
