    Default pop up iron

    Hi I've been watching jenny from mqc on you tube and love her iron but I live in the uk and was wondering if these are only available in usa ? I've googled it but can't find a European version ! We are alway lagging behind the usa !!

    Probably the voltage. Unlike some sewing machines, Oliso might not be able to guarantee your adapter for current.

    Don't feel too bad. You have more choices in steam generator irons and other gizmos than we have. Some UK products are a lot more sensible than the US.

    Find Oliso email address on the internet and ask them this question.

    Looks like a great iron, but I just use the classic Black & Decker. I am happy with it.

    FYI: those irons are expensive.

    some have had trouble with Oliso even though they cost a lot. A friend in Australia just bought one by Tefal and loves it. especially since it was on sale somewhere. Good luck.

    here is a recent thread with some comments on that iron.

    even if the reviews were better, I'd not part with that kind of money for an iron.
