Does anyone have experience with Oliso irons? I've had bad experiences with Rowenta and I'd like to hear about Oliso.

I recently picked up an Oliso Iron from Woot for a song! I think it was $34.ish otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it. Because it seemed gimmicky. Oliso has come out with a new model, so watch for sales on their older irons. I do a fair amount of quilting so I like that you can leave the iron horizontal while piecing, makes it a little easier on the wrist. I don’t have any trouble with the iron when I use it dry which is most of the time, but it does sputter on the steam setting if the temp is not high enough. I use my Oliso exclusively for sewing, and when I need to actually iron (clothes/linens) I use my Black & Decker Digital Advantage.
