Girlawhirl admits that she loves to iron. Maybe it's because she treats it as a mindless task and daydreams away or watches TV as she touches up her T-shirts or steams a cashmere sweater. But Girlawhirl thought that she was a true pro when it came to how to handle her iron. Until she tried the Oliso Steam Iron…
This new iron with an Auto-Lift™ system solves many common safety issues. It happens occasionally to Girlawhirl when she really isn't paying attention, but as it turns out 69% of ironers have had their iron fall off the board, and 42% have burned themselves or a family member with a more ordinary iron.
So what makes the Oliso™ Steam Iron so much safer? The fact that Girlawhirl never has to turn it vertically, exposing the hot bottom and putting the iron in a less stable position – making it easy to tip over if she accidentally bumps the board. With the Oliso, Girlawhirl irons as she usually does, but as soon as she lets go of the handle, automatic lifters shoot out of the bottom, raising the soleplate off the surface of her ironing board.
She admits that at first it took a little getting used to.
Just leaving the iron with its hot soleplate face down was completely opposite of her usual routine and it felt awkward at first. But after a couple of garments, she loved it. As soon as she grabbed the handle again, the lifters retracted so she could start ironing.
The iron has plenty of steam power and it has an extra large water tank so she can get through a whole basket of clothes without having to constantly add water. It heats up quickly and automatically shuts off after eight minutes of going untouched, which is a good thing for the always multi-tasking yet easily distracted Girlawhirl.
