Cute little iron👍
I can't get my mini iron to steam either and am now on my third replacement. I agree that my little Joann's iron worked much better and lasted several years before I have to replace it. I have given up trying to get any satisfaction out of this iron and will eventually buy another brand. One that works.
I certainly don’t blame you. It’s more important that you’ve got a product that works to help make the sewing process more fun. Good luck.
I love this little iron. It gets very hot and I sometimes forget and hold it up and get burnt by water pouring out the back, but the performance of the iron outweigh this user error.
Great review as Always, thanks so much. I have one and did not listen to the instructions ( you even mentioned it) about never leaving it on the highest setting. For too long( 6 hours) and it was almost too hot to handle.. I learned quickly - it’s still a nifty iron . I always look forward to your reviews etc.
Glad you enjoyed it. You know, I think we're all the same in that respect. I had heard bad reviews because it was too hot to handle then realized why. Thanks for being a loyal viewer :)
So handy wish I had one 🙏😷
Cute little mini iron. Great for on the go or if you don't won't/or really need to pull the big one out for use. I'm still pushing for a blue one though, lol. 💙😊 Thanks for the review Sue!
Me too! I wonder if they hear that often enough they will deliver. Here's hoping
Some good questions were asked in the LIVE - here you go. Also, here is a link for the manual: oliso.com/pages/downloads-manuals
1. Is there an auto-off? None was mentioned in the instructions, it only stated not to leave the iron on setting 3 (linen/cotton) unless you are using it right then and there)
2. Does it leak? Only if you use too much steam, pretty much like any iron I've ever used. There is a learning curve of how much steam and how often to use the steam buttons.
3. Are the steam buttons awkward? Not for me, but my hands are little. I wouldn't use this iron as my primary but it's great for small projects right next to your sewing space and little things and of course on the go.
4. Does it burn your hand - I saw another user say that? not for me but I also followed the instructions to a T. If the other user had it set to the 3 settings for a long period of time and went to use it, then yes, it might burn. The instructions clearly state NOT to keep it set to the highest 3 settings.
5. What kind of water? This iron is designed to be used with regular tap water. If your water is over 12 grams of hardness, we recommend using either inexpensive bottled spring water or mixing half tap water with half distilled water.
I have one. Really like it.
Me too
Hi Sue & Sue Fans, I haveThis iron and I have it in the pink which I love! I did get mine on the Oliso website and the shipping was pretty fast only a few days I think less than seven days. I can’t say that everyone else will get it in less than seven days with Covid but my experience is that it was a fast ship. I love it for my smaller quilt and sewing projects, love the extra long cord and steam. It’s very smooth gliding to be careful!!
Thanks Nancy - good to hear your feedback!!
Sue OVery -Hi Sue! Love all of your videos🌺❤️🌸
The steam light comes on but I never have been able to get steam. Help.
Have you written to the company? Perhaps you have a dud?
I cant mine ro steam either. the steam push buttons ar lit, but no steam
You should reach out to the company
What kind of water does it require? Since moving to TX I’ve quit using steam. I ve killed an iron a year. After the third one I started reading the manuals. Duhhhh. I’m not gonna buy water to iron. So, I use a spray bottle and dry iron. My current iron has lasted three years with this setup. But I wouldn’t mind some steam again
Walmart has $.80 cent gallon of distilled. water.....my husband needs for breathing machine and so we buy. A gallon lasts me a long time....and saves your iron !!!
It said fill from tap directly, no where does it mention distilled water or bottle water.
@@donnamaewilson9735 My fiance uses the distilled water for his breathing machine too, however, in the instructions it says to fill up directly from the tap.
I am sorry to beat this horse but does it say NOT to use salt softened water. The hard water killed the first iron, so we got a water softener. We needed it anyway. Then that died in under a year. Then I started buying distilled water and another one died. That is when I read the manual. That particular iron said not to use distilled water. No reason why. Use tap water but not if you have hard water or salt softened water. That’s when I started using a spray bottle and a dry iron. I don’t know if that iron was unusual or not. I’d never bothered to read a manual before. The iron I had when I moved here was at least 10 years old when we moved. I didn’t think I needed a manual. I was 60 and have been ironing for 50 of those years. Who knew?I ended up having to toss it and I really liked it but couldn’t find one like it. Too old. Thanks for the suggestions ladies.
@@donnanutt3650 I certainly don't blame you after what you've gone through - you can learn more in detail by downloading their manual. Here is what it says for this iron, the Oliso Mini Project iron "This iron is designed to be used with regular tap water. If your water is over 12 grams of hardness, we recommend using either inexpensive bottled spring water or mixing half tap water with half distilled water." Thanks for asking good questions!!
Having trouble seeing the temp dots. Cannot tell how to turn off.
The gray on gray is a very poor design but it’s cost effective so they don’t have to spend more money printing more than one color. Just unplug it
It would be nice to see the steam demonstration. My iron sucks and no steam ever comes out and I have used my iron according to the manual.
The steam is pretty ok but only works at high temp which can be a tad hot. It doesn’t have an automatic shut off so when I’m not going to be using it I usually lower the temperature down to one. I do demonstrate the steam in the video though
I actually figured the steam out recently. It works pretty well but you have to press it about 5 times, I guess it needs to be siphoned from the water reservoir. It also works well on the second setting.
They should probably update the manual. Lol
@@SookieSews you are incorrect in your reply to this person. maybe do a better review next time. It works medium and high the steam function and I can’t believe you didn’t demonstrate that
Interesting because my review was based on the manual AND was approved by Oliso. Can’t wait to see your review. Be sure to leave the link to yours so I can leave a comment.
Am sure they work fine but think the color scheme of the larger Oliso irons looks much better. (no grey)
I wish they offered all their irons in Aqua!
This iron doesn't steam and is awkward to hold. I'm returning mine.
If you watch this video I show you how to use it from start to finish (including the steam). Return if you really want but maybe before you do you watch along.
I really don’t like the one I have. I hardly get any steam. My 12 buck Walmart mini does a better job
Then you've got lots of extra money for more fabric!!! Glad your Walmart iron works good. Maybe I need to get one of them for fun and do a review.
It’s funny. People either love it or hates it. No In between
