and ended up buying this …
At least they're both yellow.
I was first interested in Oliso's Pro Smart Iron because of the feet that raise the soleplate. I love a good gimmick. Then I learned the iron has a "thirty minute extended shut off for sewers and quilters". The thirty minute shut-off feature was icing on the cake. I vowed to buy the iron the next time they were on sale at JoAnn.
So …… I found myself at JoAnn during a storewide sale. I went there for yellow thread and buttons. Not the most efficient use of non-renewable fossil fuel, I admit, but I gotta sew. The buttons were in the same aisle as irons and the irons were 20% off. I had to buy it! I had to. In addition to the 20% discount, I got an additional 15% off with my teacher's discount card. Total savings – $63.99! The iron I'm replacing cost less than the $63.00 I saved. I don't often indulge myself like this so I easily justified the extravagance.
Oh yeah, the buttons were 50% off, too.
It matches your buttons! Do review the iron when you've used it a bit.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Olisio iron I had. It worked for several years and then, one day, I turned it on and it wouldn't heat. I'd like another one, but went back to using the Euro Pro that I had been storing rather than buy another at that time. Still using the Euro Pro.
ReplyDeleteNow, that is a cool iron! (no pun intended) Love the color and the little feet. Enjoy your new yellow "toy"!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that is one very cool looking iron!
ReplyDeleteAND now you have the firefly card for next week for 30% off everything, even sale prices (I just happened to buy a new cutting mat there yesterday and um a few other things...)
Yes! The firefly card was another bit of icing on the cake!
DeleteI like the bright yellow iron. You will have to tell us how well it works.
ReplyDeleteI just looked at the price of this iron online and my jaw dropped. You have to let us know how well it works!! I love the idea of a levitating iron--and its bright yellow happy color!!
ReplyDeleteI would never, ever pay full price for this iron. After the 20% off and the 15% teacher's discount, I spent about as much as I spent on a Rowenta iron some years ago. I really love the 30 minute shut off feature and it seems to need fewer passes over the cloth to remove wrinkles. I wish there were more steam vents on the bottom. My cheaper irons have lasted about two years. I'm expecting this iron to last longer than that.
DeleteOk, major iron envy! Mine shuts off everytime I turn my back on it!?
