Yes quiltngal, I have the Oliso. I LOVE IT!!!!! You don't have to worry about it falling over. It doesn't leak. Large reservoir for water.
Go to www.oliso.com and look at it. |
I had two Rowentas, and they both quit very early. I bought a Shark about five years ago. It has the best steam of any iron I've ever owned. Found another at Bed, Bath and Beyond locally, and now have one up and one downstairs. They retail for about $50-$60, but are worth it if you want a good iron. And BB&Y always have coupons.

Now I have a question -
My son had a Black and Decker Digital Advantage D2020 stashed away that he says I can borrow. Question: Directions say: "Note: Use ordinary tap water for ironing. Do not use water processed through a home softening system." So what should I use then? I've been using bottled spring water for the Rowenta that just fizzled and smelled funny this morning. And why not use softened water? |
Rowenta! is the brand i have and i really like it
|
I don't know about water softeners now, but when I was a kid we had a well. Mom used to put salt in the water softener. So I would guess that salt in the iron wouldn't be a good thing :D
|
Salt water heats to a higher temp then water or makes the water hotter or conducts heat too fast or something like that. Just don't use salt water in an iron.
|
I use cold tap water. The drinking water usually not soft. I don't know why they don't want you using soft water. Maybe the salt they use to soften the water. This iron is the best though. I also have a rowenta and don't like.
