I bought the yellow 1600 model about a year ago. The dial did not line up with the indicator right, so Oliso replaced it.
The replacement dial did not line up, either. I got tired of dorking around with returns and there was plenty of stream even if the dial did not go over to the third dot. I never bothered to get the second one replaced.
Almost a year later, another issue is turning up and this one is dangerous. I always turn the dial to OFF when I'm done.
For the past couple of weeks, I'd go in the sewing room and find the iron ON. Since I'm taking some meds that causes lapses, I double checked that the dial said OFF and the red light that shows when OFF is selected was showing.
Went into sewing room today, light was green and the iron was on. Low fortunately.
Oliso says they will fix it, but shipping is getting expensive. I just might buy another Reliable as I see the new ones don't use a filter and throw the Oliso out.
If anyone has an Oliso and the dial looks wonky, please watch the iron carefully. I'll just turn off the power strip rather than the iron.
