Product Description
The new patented Smart Touch handle senses your hand and lowers the iron to the fabric. Simply let go of the handle and the patented Auto Lift system raises the iron, protecting the fabric and the soleplate. Scorch marks and heavy lifting are now a thing of the past. The Touch & Glide nonstick soleplate glides effortlessly over the fabric to make your ironing easier and take less time. The powerful steam burst works vertically or horizontally to remove stubborn wrinkles.

New Oliso Steam Iron is 5 stars GREAT,
By
This review is from: Oliso TG-800 Touch & Glide Steam Iron (Kitchen)
I heard about this iron last year but didn't purchase it because it was $129 and I read a poor review on Amazon. Then a few months ago I read 2 great reviews from Gizmodo and Engadget so I stared to consider it again. In February my old trusty Kenmore iron died and a week or so later I read 2 very favorable magazine reviews (how old school) in Time Magazine's Feb. issue and Men's Health Magazine 2006 Tech Guide. I finally decided to go for it...and after over a month of use I am happy to say that they were right and this thing is AMAZING! I think I may be the first person to actually buy it, use it for over a month and then write a real review on Amazon. Believe me, I know I'm talking about an iron here but I've been ironing since I went to college and left my mom's home 15 years ago and I've never used an iron that does its job as stated and totally improves and speeds up my ironing chores while also being very safe.
I had owned and used my Kenmore Iron for almost 10 years and I loved it besides the fact it was very heavy and not so steamy the last few months. I had been considering the Black & Decker D2030 that everyone seems to love but after testing it I noticed the digital lcd screen was too hard to see and confusing unless I was at the perfect angle. Since most of the time I'm ironing quickly and half asleep in the morning I realized that feature could be a disaster so I kept researching and luckily picked up the right magazines in February. This Oliso iron does everything the D2030 can do but is just as easy to use and can do MUCH more. Seriously, the touch sensitive handle which causes the iron to raise up off my clothes and then lower back down with the touch of my hand is worth the $99 I spent alone and the best ironing idea since the iron was created! As for features that matter the most for pro ironers like my grandma ;-), it heats up fast and has powerful, continuous, and balanced steam that is strong enough for my toughest and stiffest stuff like jeans. My favorite feature, it can do vertical bursts of super steam (like a real steamer) that removes wrinkles from any of my shirts that are hanging on a hangar with a few blasts (read: shirts ready in less than a minute without using an ironing board and because this thing auto lifts while in the natural horizontal position I can put it down naturally on ANY surface and its safe). My final thought, the engineers that thought this up must be smart people who definitely use steam irons...Did I mention it has a long pivoting cord, huge water tank that opens outward for filling right under my faucet, auto shut off and some special detailer feature on the front that allows me to do cuffs and collars easier than I've ever done. I could actually go on but I'd rather you buy one and discover ironing that is easy and kind of fun... Thanks Oliso!

Cheap poorly-made gadget,
By Tammy McBirney (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oliso TG-800 Touch & Glide Steam Iron (Kitchen)
This is one of those toys you buy and play with for about a day, take it out of the closet to show your friends, but isn't good for daily ironing. It's a pretty iron but it doesn't work. I bought one despite what some other folks thought about this iron, and now I regret it, I should have paid more careful attention to all the reviews! It is true about the leaking, dribbling out water, lifters knocking it off the ironing board, poor and inconsistant steam, cheap plastic construction, and non-gliding soleplate.

Makes Ironing Easy and More Fun,
By Krista (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oliso TG-800 Touch & Glide Steam Iron (Kitchen)
This is the nicest iron I've ever used. It seems very well made and sturdy. The blue see-through water reservoir gives it a very modern look. It glides really nicely on the fabric. The steam seems more consistent and stronger than other irons I've used in the past. The "steam burst" feature gives a very powerful blast of steam that is great for tough wrinkles. The Auto-Lift feature is really cool and slick. It made the task of ironing more fun...a smart, high-tech iron! I believe the auto-lift feature definitely improves the safety of ironing too. The Auto-Lift feature is my favorite part because it is something different that I never experienced before. It is nice to just push the iron to the side without having to stand it up vertically. I also really like the status light, the way it uses different colors and flashes to indicate the iron's status. I find this very useful because it lets me know exactly when the iron is hot enough to use...no more guessing.
