Nancy I'm using my cordless/chargeable Oreck that I got when I bought my vacuum cleaner and I love it! It stays sitting right next to my pressing board in its charger so I can pick it right up and press full yardage free of any cords. I can also use it with the cord if I choose so it is always hot but it doesn't take but a few seconds to reheat when using it cordless. I will say that I do not use steam a whole lot but when I did use it I did not have any problems. I have been using Mary Ellen's Best Press with a dry iron and it really does a nice job! :)

Suzy Que,
I have had my iron for about 4 months. I did notice that Joann's had them online don't know about the stores.

RFree----I have never seen your iron. Must check it out online and study up on it. I never mind the sitting up of the iron, but when you think of it...it probably saves your wrist a lot of strain. Hmmm.....something to think about! What is the smart touch thing?

SuzieQ. The smart touch thing is the sensor in the handle that lets these feet out when you turn it loose. That is what raises it up off your ironing surface. I learned about this iron watching the Fons and Porter show. I record every episode and watch them from time to time.

SuzyQue - I am using a 15 (at least maybe 20) year old Black and Decker that was cheap then. It NEVER spits or leaks. Best of luck.

I also have an oliso iron and I love it. I never have to put my iron up on end which was a problem with the cats jumped on the ironing board.

TONS of steam, no spitting or leaking, it's fabulous. You can iron over a rubber band and it won't melt it. Something to do with the plate or type of heat or something like that. It was awesome when they were demonstrating it at Costco.

I'd recomend that iron to anyone.
