Oliso M2 Mini Project Steam Iron with Solemate - for Sewing, Quilting, Crafting, and Travel | 1000 Watt Dual Voltage Ceramic Soleplate Steam Iron, Orchid

I bought this iron just over a year ago. The temperature setting dial has always felt a bit wonky to me (it wobbled), but I chalked it up to my never having an Oliso before. Also, the steam feature never quite worked - water just dripped out the steam holes. But I rarely needed steam so just lived with it.Three weeks ago the temp dial just began spinning freely and the iron stopped heating up. I contacted Customer Service and got an email response in less than 2 hours. "Emma" wrote back. She asked for a description of what the iron was doing and a short (10-15 second) video. Again, only 2 hours later, she sent me a postage-paid label and asked me to ship her the defective iron. A replacement iron was shipped and is waiting for me at home today.Wow! In this day and age, to have excellent client care like this is truly amazing. I can't say enough about Emma and Oliso for taking care of my problem! Oliso has a customer for life :)

Didn't really get hot, fine for quilting/seam pressing, where it doesn't need to be

Like that it’s small but gets really hot when needed. Only thing is I wish it was cordless since I use in my craft room and have so many corded things already. Love the color and the plate to cover and also set it on.

This is a great little iron but you need to prime the steam function in order for it to work. Fill the water tank to the full line. Then, simply press and release the steam buttons about 10 times before you plug it in. Plug in the iron and wait for it to get hot. Then press the steam buttons again 10 more times.It’s unfortunate these directions are not included in the user manual. I returned the first iron because it would not steam. I reordered the iron again and it did not steam so I called the 1-800 number. Also, be careful when unplugging the iron to put it away. The solemate to rest the iron on stays hot for quite awhile.

It is handy little gadget to have but steam is not that great. Does not give the crisp seam you want on cotton.
