My New Iron Is On It's Way!

My Rowenta is on its last legs....it started leaking and spitting last week and this is totally unacceptable! I've had my Rowenta Focus for about a year and I thought it would last a bit longer.

While I love Rowenta (I've owned many of them), they seem to give out after a year of use. I don't know if this is because I use them so much, or if that is just their lifespan.
Anyway, I decided to get away from Rowenta {GASP} and try something new. After tons of research I had narrowed my choice down to the Olsio TG-1600 and the Reliable Digital Velocity V100 Steam Iron.

Both are professional grade irons, and offer great steam power.  I found that both are used by seamstresses and offer the option of not shutting off after 8 minutes (a necessity in my sewing room).  They both promise to not drip or spit (but so did my Rowenta!).  And both offer 1800w of power and constant steam - another necessity.

The Olsio has the cool feature of "iTouch auto-lift technology" which pops the iron up on little legs when you let it go....you never have to stand it up!  Very cool and different! It also has a 12ft power cord.
The Olsio costs about $169



The Reliable has a larger water reservoir (1.8 cups).  It also has an anti-scale cartridge.  The Reliable costs about $139




So....which did I decide on?   Check back on Wednesday for the reveal!
