Reliable V95 Digital Velocity 1500-Watt Steam Iron Review

Back in July, I purchased this iron as my latest, expensive Rowenta iron started leaking like a sieve (at just over 1 year old). This iron is fantastic! From the first time I used it, it has been great.
The Reliable iron has a separate chamber and heat source for the water that generates the steam. This means that steam is available at a lower heat setting than usual. Also, the steam is consistent - no spitting, leaking or dribbling. The steam can be used with the iron in a vertical position (for steam-pressing a garment). The iron has two steam settings. The higher steam setting puts forth a tremendous amount of steam - just like a steam generator iron but without having a separate water tank to deal with.
The manufacturer does recommend using distilled water (really the only downside). The iron has removable/replaceable filters to extend the life of the iron by filtering out the mineral deposits that can prematurely gunk up an iron.
All in all, this is one terrific iron. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially to anyone who does sewing/quilting. Fantastic iron!

Quickly remove wrinkles from clothing and other fabrics with this powerful 1500-watt steam iron. Unlike traditional irons that produce steam with the soleplate heat, the unit features an internal steam generator that not only produces more continuous steam (30g/minute) than conventional irons, but it also allows for adjusting the soleplate temperature to accommodate the fabric being pressed, which means lower temperatures can be used without the fear of water spitting. Even more, the iron's stainless-steel soleplate provides a uniform temperature and concentrated steam holes at the tip for quicker ironing, plus special grooves that help smooth and dry the garment. Its electronic control system includes an LCD panel that displays the temperature level selected, the amount of steam selected, an automatic shut-off indicator, a water-tank refilling indicator, and an anti-scale filter replacement indicator. For added convenience, the steam iron's acoustic warning device beeps when the desired temperature's been reached, the auto shut-off safety system becomes activated, and every time a selection button gets pressed. Other highlights include a 1-1/4-cup water capacity, an 8-1/5-foot cord, and an ergonomically designed handle to reduce hand and wrist stress. The steam iron measures 12 by 4-1/2 by 7 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Oliso TG-800 Touch & Glide Steam Iron Review

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!

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 yourironing easier and take less time. The powerful steam burst works vertically or horizontally to remove stubborn wrinkles.
