 Great Product March 25, 2010

I love this iron. It glides nice, doesn't leak, and is much easier on the wrist because you don't have to keep putting it up on it's heel.
That "lift" changes the way you iron. In a good way. February 12, 2010

I waited for a few months after purchasing this iron to see how my opinion changed over time. I initially was concerned that the spiffy "lift" -- which I first saw in use on a quilting TV show -- was a gimmick that would wear off. I'm glad to say that it isn't; it's a truly useful feature that has eased my life.
Anyone who quilts spends a lot of time ironing, just as anyone who does woodworking has to be ready to do a lot of sanding. You really can't scrimp on this without regretting it later. But ironing 104 block pieces can get tedious. You iron a piece or two, move it to the Done pile, and set the iron down while you grab the next batch. You do this for at least 20 minutes. It gets old. Fast. As a result, I _really_ like that I can set the iron down and it'll "lift up" to prevent problems... saving me from that repeated lift/twist/balance exercise.
Of course, a single nifty feature does not justify the top-end price of any iron. It's just the most visible example of the quality of this iron. I've found that it has enough weight to do a serious job of ironing, but it isn't so heavy that I'm exhausted. Loading water into it is easier than it was with the old Rowenta which it replaced. (No real criticism of the Rowenta; I wore out that poor thing.) If you do quilting or other serious sewing, DO invest in a good iron. You'll feel the difference even if you can't articulate it.
As other reviewers have noted, it _can_ be a little drooly with the steam setting on. I've found that it helps to set the iron back on its heel, every so often; don't rely on the auto-lift all the time. The only other irritation is that because of the button in the middle of the iron, it no longer fits in my wall-mounted iron storage compartment (above the folded-up ironing board) and has to be kept on a shelf.
But I'm okay with that. Because I've found that ironing is much less of a hassle than it was previously. And isn't that the best you can hope for with ironing?
 Iron stopped working after two weeks December 24, 2009

I too bought this 'so-called' wonderful iron only to have it stop working after two weeks of use.
I have been unable to get up with customer support, sent several emails, and called with no response.
My husband is an electrical engineer and has tried to repair the iron, only to find out that the part numbers have been 'conveniently' scratched off...no way to get replacement parts and fix it himself. It is probably a 25 cent item that went out but can't find any schematics on this piece of crap. I guess it's time to contact the BBB.
I bought a Rowenta that can iron circles around this hunk of junk.
Smoothest and Smartest Steam Iron Out There June 23, 2009

I love this iron! It's practically got a mind of its own. All I really need to do is touch the iron and it will go down and glide through the fabric. The iron itself is heavy enough to smooth out the wrinkles, but light enough that it won't burn the shirts. The one-touch technology is really amazing. I never need to strain my wrists, trying to lift the iron up because it stays flat the entire time. The steam is great, too. One press of the steam button and the wrinkles are all gone.
I'm the kind of person who sticks to one product once I like it. For the past ten years, I have been using Black & Decker irons. Finally, someone gave me an Oliso Auto-Lift iron and I have officially been converted! Not only is the technology amazing, but it truly makes ironing an easier and faster process.
