oliso TG1600 ProPlus Smart Iron with Auto-Lift – 1800 Watt Steam Iron for Clothes, Sewing, Quilting & Crafting – Diamond Ceramic-Flow Soleplate, Butterscotch

Great iron! It takes a moment to get use to. As soon as you take your hand off the handle it lifts up. Steam worked when it gets hot. I do use the steam. The first Iron I recieved the steam stopped working when the resivor was half full. It would leave alot of water on my project. I ordered a replacement and it works great. I do love the iron. I also have the mini. I use them daily.

I sew bags, purses, and clothes. A dependable hot steam iron is an absolute necessity. For my last iron, I had a great little cordless iron. Only problem is it wouldn't get or stay quite hot enough, even though it had plenty of steam. My new Oliso in sunny yellow (yay!) gets REALLY hot. Hot enough to use on 100% cotton and actually get all the wrinkles out. It also has plenty of steam. I have noticed that it steams better when I keep the water filled close to the maximum level marked conveniently on the iron, so I keep it pretty full. I like the little filling cup it came with. I keep a gallon jug of tap water in my sewing room and pour it into the filling cup, which makes it super easy to get it into the iron with no spills. I live where the water is fairly hard, but tap water works great in this iron. I have occasionally seen it "spit" out little tiny pieces of what I assume is calcium from the hard water, but that is rare, and easily brushed off. Most irons I've ever owned have done this. One very good thing is that it NEVER leaks. I was lucky to get it at 20% off during Amazon days, but I would have bought it at full price if I had to. It works really well and I am glad I have it. Oh - almost forgot the best feature! I LOVE how it goes up and down at just a touch of my hand! If I'm ironing and have to stop, I can just let go of it and it rises up off of the fabric. No scorching, ever! And talk about convenience! When I take it off whatever I'm ironing, I just slide it to one side and let go. I don't have to lift it up and set it on its heel (although it will sit on its heel if you want it to). This is the best iron I've ever owned and I would recommend it to anyone.

We needed a new iron and saw this in the fabric store last year. I saw that the power light was on with the iron face down on the ironing board at the fabric store when I mentioned it to the owner. She laughed and showed me what a marvel this iron was! It automatically extends feet when left sole side down and does an auto shutdown if not in constant use. This is a great improvement in household irons. The long, swivel cord and the 360 directional cord are another two great features. Lastly, the water tank display and heat settings are easy to see and use. This is a great iron!

I ordered this iron to replace my cordless iron. I looked at many irons and was on the fence about this one based on the price and reviews I read. I did not love the price but after doing my research, I decided to buy this iron based on the length of time it stays hot and the cord length. Going back to a corded iron was a tough decision because so many irons have a short cord. This model has a 12 foot cord and it allows me to place my ironing board anywhere. When it’s says the cord rotates, it is able to rotate 360 degrees. Okay, so I used the iron with some sizing spray. I did not use the steam feature because at this price point, I’ll use a misting bottle of water if needed. No water going in this baby. The iron gets very hot! With the sizing spray, the wrinkles ironed right out. I did. To use it without the size spray, so no idea how well it removed wrinkles without the spray. The auto lift feature worked as expected and the iron also sits upright with no problem. As a test, I left the iron on, sitting on the legs. After a while I could smell it and went to look at my ironing board. I could see the area under it was slightly scorched. I would not recommend leaving it in this position when sewing or when planning to come back to it after some time. The temperature knob is way to adjust and it’s nice to be able to see the settings easily. I picked the turquoise iron and the color is very vibrant. The iron has a nice heft to it so it felt good in my hand running it along the fabric. The size of the iron is good, it’s slightly bigger than my old cordless iron. This was my experience with its first use. If anything changes I will update my review.

Excellent product this is my second purchase in last 5 years the previous one last me for years before it fell on floor and stop working. I love steam feature, weight is light and no fear to burn as it automatically shuts off. It is little pricy but will last you for years if you use it with care.

I needed to replace my 7 year old iron because it slid off the ironing board and stopped working with water. As a quilter, I need steam. This oliso is a tad different from the one that I used for 7 years but I will get used to it.

Yes, it's expensive, but the benefits, for me anyway, outweigh the cost. A number of features are attractive. The way it elevates itself when not being touched maintains the heat on the plate but does not scorch the ironing surface. Furthermore, it is much easier to just let go of it in a horizontal position, and to us it again, then it is to turn it up on the end. It holds a very large capacity of water alleviating the inconvenience of frequent refills. This iron is very hot. Ironing our various bolt wrinkles, and especially the mid-fold crease is easy and quick. I recommend this tool for any experienced quilter.Just a note on the silicone holder. It will not withstand heat even after unplugging. The iron has to be completely cool before hanging the iron on the wall. It's handy for wall storage when not in use, but the iron will dislodge if not fully cooled.

I like this iron a lot. It gets nice and hot and as a quilter I need a nice hot iron. For me, it took a little bit getting used to how it goes up and down, but it didn’t take long to get used to.
