Review: Love it for Quilting! - Was in the middle of a quilt for my granddaughter and my Oliso stopped giving me steam, so needed a new one ASAP! I have the Oliso mini project iron I exclusively use for piecing , so I was considering the new Mini Oliso as a replacement cause it was apparently an improvement when I ran across Chi and obviously decided on the Chi... it was a good choice. I'll say out of the box, when I first purchased the Oliso (about a year ago), I was a bit disappointed. The device feels mostly like cheap plastic, the steam buttons are hard to push and kind of wiggle and the steam holes are only at the point of the plate. Both the heat level dial and the steam buttons are made from cheap plastic, which is fine...but they squeaked right out of the box. Doesn't have an auto shut off. Extremely difficult to see the water level and it led to a lot of spilling. The cord comes out of the back, so you can only rest it on the silicone trivet it comes with. The hand grip is also plastic and can be hard to grip for the weight of the iron because it's so wide.... on top of that it gets TOO HOT, have burned myself a lot with this iron from grabbing too low on the grip. The worst part, is I have only used it for 5 quilts over the past year and the steam no longer works. I use only RO water, as my whole house is filtered and tried to descale it with water/vinegar, no luck. Sad face. At $80 for the "new and improved" one just kinda fell flat on me, so I was open to other brands. I've had a Chi hair straightener for almost 10 years and it has never failed me and I have tried a lot of other ones just cause I wanted something new....always returned to the Chi. I've had the iron for a couple of days now and have ironed through 360 2.5" HST's and here are my thoughts: Love the electronic temperature dial, makes it easy to see where your temp is (the dial on the Oliso often moved when you gripped it), steam buttons feel solid and smooth, easy to press but also has a 'steam on' function with a lever when I'm ironing through hundreds of pieces at a time so my finger joints don't get sore. The plate is beautifully made, glides over the fabric and seams and has steam vents throughout. Although it does spit a little it's tolerable, I've found if you overfill just a little bit it tends to do this. It is a little heavier, but the quality of it is completely worth it (and some quilters love heavy irons). The feel of it is substantial, quality plastic on the spine, a grippy silicone-like material on the sides. Grip does not get hot at all...not even a little bit, which makes me think something was wrong with my Oliso out of the box, or is every other quilter suffering through this? It's got a backstand. Large/wide window for the reservoir. Auto off in 30 seconds if you have it resting plate down. Auto off in 30min if standing up. I live in fire country and this, I found, is a must for me as I left my Oliso on quite a few times and almost had a heart attack when I realized it. Two things I can't comment on yet: longevity; and the point of the plate is rounded, so far with all the HST's I did, didn't seem to mind it, but will tell more over time. I was worried that the rounded point wouldn't give me a flat block, but it does! Overall, super happy with my purchase at half the price of the Oliso.
Review: Great little iron, gets hot fast! - Have used this iron for a couple of days and just fell in love with it. I’ve never owned a Chi but they get good reviews on my quilting sites, but I hate big heavy irons —I already have an old super heavy Rowenta Commercial I save for ironing bedsheets and such. This iron is lightweight, easy to hold, and gets hot super quick so I don’t mind turning it off between sewing longer rows or quilting pieces. I do use steam contrary to many quilters and it steams good, doesn’t seem to use much water or it holds more than I thought because I bought this to replace the Rowenta travel iron with stainless plate because it doesn’t hold much water, only up in the handle; it got plenty hot but without steam I don’t care—but also after a couple days use it stopped steaming without hitting the steam burst, not for me dude. The cord being extra long helps also to keep it out of the way. I can’t figure why Chi hasn’t jumped on the cordless bandwagon. I have a Panasonic cordless I loved but 1) many complain there’s died after 2 years and mine is that old so was looking for a backup and 2) it just doesn’t seem to get as hot as it used to. This Chi is much smaller than the Panasonic but does the job in the sewing room.

Love this little iron, works like a large one, takes regular tap water 💦, steam is great, very long cord , small enough to pack. Water is easy to view and easy to empty before storing.
