TG1600 ProPlus Smart Iron with Auto-Lift – 1800 Watt Steam Iron for Clothes, Sewing, Quilting & Crafting – Diamond Ceramic-Flow Soleplate, Turquoise

This is my second Oliso. My first one lasted 10 years. I tried the Panasonic cordless and didn’t like it. The Oliso gets very hot and I’ve always lived that it lifts off the table when you let go of it. The only thing I wish they hadn’t changed is the elimination of the on off switch. The light on the iron stays on no matter what and you have to unplug it to get it to turn off. I don’t like that. If the iron is completely off the light should not be on. But the performance of the iron is great. I don’t put water in my irons; I know a lot of people do but I just keep a misting bottle on my ironing station. I think it extends the life of the iron.

I sew bags, purses, and clothes. A dependable hot steam iron is an absolute necessity. For my last iron, I had a great little cordless iron. Only problem is it wouldn't get or stay quite hot enough, even though it had plenty of steam. My new Oliso in sunny yellow (yay!) gets REALLY hot. Hot enough to use on 100% cotton and actually get all the wrinkles out. It also has plenty of steam. I have noticed that it steams better when I keep the water filled close to the maximum level marked conveniently on the iron, so I keep it pretty full. I like the little filling cup it came with. I keep a gallon jug of tap water in my sewing room and pour it into the filling cup, which makes it super easy to get it into the iron with no spills. I live where the water is fairly hard, but tap water works great in this iron. I have occasionally seen it "spit" out little tiny pieces of what I assume is calcium from the hard water, but that is rare, and easily brushed off. Most irons I've ever owned have done this. One very good thing is that it NEVER leaks. I was lucky to get it at 20% off during Amazon days, but I would have bought it at full price if I had to. It works really well and I am glad I have it. Oh - almost forgot the best feature! I LOVE how it goes up and down at just a touch of my hand! If I'm ironing and have to stop, I can just let go of it and it rises up off of the fabric. No scorching, ever! And talk about convenience! When I take it off whatever I'm ironing, I just slide it to one side and let go. I don't have to lift it up and set it on its heel (although it will sit on its heel if you want it to). This is the best iron I've ever owned and I would recommend it to anyone.

I love this iron! I do alot of sewing and this iron handles all fabrics wonderfully. The auto lift feature is great for efficient use. To be honest, this purchase is replacing my previously owned oliso iron. I had to get the exact one without hesitation. My previous one had to have lasted, I am guessing 15 years, with alot of use.

Love the iron. It automatically lifts up so as not to cause a fabric burn.

I ordered this iron for use in quilting and when it arrived and I set it up and filling the water reservoir,it heated up but did not produce steam. I had it set for cotton and maximum steam, and waited for the green light to stay lighted indicating it was fully warmed up. But no steam resulted. I tried this on two separate days with the same disappointing result with the brand new iron. So I contacted Oliso's customer service and they agreed it was defective and should be returned. I returned it to Amazon and arranged for it to be replaced. The replacement arrived, same model, and after setting it up, following the instructions both in the manual and as I was told by customer service, filling the water reservoir, setting it to cotton and maximum steam, it had the identical defect and same disappointing result -- it failed to produce any steam both when being used to iron and with the blast steam button when held vertically. So it likewise is being returned. This occurred again with this top of the line model, despite the Oliso's assertion that it checks each iron before they leave the factory. I will proceed with another brand iron, which will be less tricked out with special features but which, hopefully, will work well with its basic iron function.

I bought this through amazon on a thirty dollar off deal. When I received it, it was i'm not working. Made me question if that's how they flush out their damaged units. Amazon could not do anything except refund. My money and said they could not exchange it because there weren't any deals left. This left me dealing with oliso directly. All in all was not a terrible experience. Was shipped a new one within a week upon return of damaged unit. This iron, definitely, it's worth the money as far as function. I had been dealing with cheap irons, and when the deal came up, I grabbed one.

The box I received looked great, until I opened it. It was pretty clear the iron had already been used, with some of the internal packing components torn or missing. The iron also had dirty smudges on it, and some water left in it's tank. It would not turn on when plugged in. I'm trying to exchange it for a new one, I'll update this review when I receive it. EDIT - I got the replacement iron, and it is lovely! I use it for quilting, and it works great. I particularly love the large opening and funnel for refilling the water tank. So much nicer than my old iron! ADDITIONAL EDIT - Okay, I've now had and used this iron for about 4 months. I'm no longer so impressed. The auto-lift function started acting up and being unreliable some 6 weeks ago. Now it pretty much just never works. So I always have to sit the iron on it's side. This iron also spits/leaks water on my fabric just as often as every other iron I've ever had. That being said, I do still like how quickly it heats and the size and ease of filling the water tank is nicer than any other iron I've owned. But personally I won't ever buy this brand again. Way too expensive for the main feature on it to stop working after only a couple months.

Just what I wanted and I use it all the time it replaced my old iron that after 20 plus years finally bit the dust on me so I got a new one works great recommend it to anybody and everybody

Muy pesada…no funciona tan increible

This iron is a joy to use. I got the pink version and it’s just the prettiest iron ever. The lifter feet are amazing and didn’t take very long to get used to (leaving it in the horizontal position). It gets very hot and is a nice weight. I am keeping this as a dry iron to make it hopefully last longer. Just keep a spray bottle of water nearby if steam is needed. The cord is looong which is great. I haven’t noticed any scorching of my ironing board from the iron being lifted, but I recommend turning the iron off if you will not be using it for awhile, just to be safe. It heats back up again fairly quickly so you’re not waiting too long. The sole plate is very smooth and glides nicely. I haven’t noticed any build up yet so I can’t say how easy it will be to clean. Perhaps the tip could be a bit pointier, as it is only rounded, but it still works to open seams flat. It is a large iron, so it’s great for pressing yardage and long seams. I also have the mini version, which is better for the inside of bags and smaller projects. Obviously, you need to keep your hand on the handle otherwise it will lift up. There is no option to turn off the auto lift (a feature that was on previous versions). This means that if you want to leave the iron in one spot for a really good press you can’t remove your hand like on a regular iron. That’s a bit annoying, but I’ll get used to it. There is a silicone sole protector available, but it’s sold separately, which is kind of lame for such an expensive iron. I will probably purchase it in the future just to have and to protect the sole plate should it somehow get knocked off the ironing board. I love that this iron is available on Amazon for a pretty good price and is Prime shipped. The cost to buy from Oliso in the US is astronomical, especially once taxes and shipping are added. If you’ve been on the fence about this iron, I’d say go for it!

I recently purchased the Oliso TG1600 Pro Plus SmartIron and I couldn't be happier with my decision. The 1800 watt power provides a fast and efficient ironing experience, making even the toughest wrinkles disappear in no time. What sets this iron apart from others is the Auto Lift feature which raises the iron off the surface when not in use, preventing scorching and providing a safer experience. The steam controls are intuitive and easy to use, and the adjustable steam output allows me to customize the amount of steam to suit my needs. The iron heats up quickly and the temperature is consistent throughout use, providing professional-level results every time. The soleplate glides smoothly over my clothes, preventing any snagging or pulling, and the built-in water tank ensures that I never run out of steam in the middle of ironing. Overall, I highly recommend the Oliso TG1600 Pro Plus SmartIron to anyone looking for a top-of-the-line ironing experience. With its powerful performance, innovative design, and user-friendly features, it's a 5-star product that truly delivers.

Best iron for quilting! Heats quickly and automatically raises off the ironing board so you never scorch your fabric.

Great product my wife loves it
