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

I've been using this iron since I took it out of the box. I am a big Oliso iron fan. I use it for quilting and crafting. It has a special lifting system that pivots the iron off fabric and begins cool down when not in use. My last Oliso was purchased more than 5 years ago. Since I have to iron every seam it gets a lot of use and abuse. One time I tried another brand and it barely lasted a year.

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.

This iron heats fast, it is easy to add water, meets all my expectations. The auto lift takes a little getting used to, but is very convenient. Definitely recommend it. It compliments my mini that I take to classes.

I love this iron. The water tank holds so much water and lasts so much longer than my previous iron. I absolutely love that I can leave it flat and it will lift off the mat. Saves my wrist. Would buy again.

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.

The iron worked great until it didn't. Horrible customer service. The first one I bought broke. The dial that moves between settings broke. It was still under warranty so they replaced it. The replacement broke in the EXACT same way. This time I was a month out of warranty and they wouldn't do anything about it. I am not a frequent user of a large iron so it was not used that much. I get great use out of my cheap mini iron while I am piecing my quilts. I only use the larger one once I get big blocks put together so the Oliso was barely used at all. DO NOT BUY Oliso. Way too expensive for the quality. I love my Panasonic.

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.

I can’t say enough good things about this iron. In the past, I had bought a Rowenta and was not happy with it. I thought I would try the Oliso iron. First of all I absolutely love the light teal color. This is a quilters dream. Has extra long 12 foot cord which I love, it steams up very well and I like that. It will stay on for 30 minutes before shutting down. I really like the way the iron rises and lowers just by touching or letting go of the handle. It takes a little getting used to, but it’s nice that I don’t have to tilt it up when I’m done ironing. I like that I can use regular tap water.
