This idea isn't new at all. As a kid the only TV shows that were on some mornings were the new yankee workshop and sewing with nancy, and when the new yankee workshop went to commercial, the nancy lady always had an iron with feet like that.

I completely agree with Dreamscape. I've had the Oliso one for about 2 years, and it looks to be completely identical. Unlike Helicity, however, I love mine. Because you leave it lying down, it is almost impossible to accidentally knock it off the ironing board. Also, you don't have to 'press' on it; it's touch-sensitive. The little feet retract as soon as you grip the handle.]]>Jan 23rd 2010 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/Jan 23rd 2010 10:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/Thank you for posting about the Oliso iron! I love this iron. We use it in my sewing class. I find the auto-life function to be nice when I have to press seams: it makes the process go by much faster. I wish I had purchased the Oliso instead of my Reliable V95. The V95 is big, bulky, and dims the lights in the house when I turn it on because it sucks up so much power. The Oliso is great for either the standard consumer or the project seamster.]]>Jan 27th 2010 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/

I don't send them to the cleaners because I learned a long time ago that the best intentioned dry cleaner will wreck a shirt after about a year of weekly cleanings (wear and shrinking). By laundering and ironing my own shirts (and pants) I can get around 2.5 years out of a shirt and my $250 Rowenta steam pressure iron has paid for itself many times over.

Yeah, but there aren't a billion Chinese at my local mall. There is, however, a Brooks Brothers. The BB shirts are somewhat of bargain in comparison to a place like Turnbull and Asser. Oh, and I haven't actually paid for them in several years. I accumulate enough "Thank You" points from Citibank to supply me with a fresh inventory of shirts every two years. But I do appreciate you caring enough to advise me on how to spend my money. Oh, and my remaining "older female relative" has a PhD in education, not shirtmaking. ]]>Jan 23rd 2010 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/
1) Brooks Brothers are a total rip off. They charge $80 for hats and $400+ for jackets.

2) Any dry cleaner that shrinks and wears out your clothing won't stay in business for long. I'm sure there is at least one good dry cleaner near you.]]>Jan 24th 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/
Thanks for the info.

I always thought that BB was pretty reasonably priced compared to some of the other options. Just because something is a rip off to you doesn't make it a bargain for someone else. It's awesome how other commenters are so interested on how much people pay for dress shirts and how they enforce their beliefs on how others should spend their money. I especially like the comment about how I should go to the Chinese community and have them make me my shirts. Racism anyone?

Uh, just wondering where are you buying $100+ dress shirts. And then, why if you can buy $100 shirts are you ironing them yourself? If this is normal, then I must live in poverty. o_O]]>Jan 23rd 2010 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/23/auto-lift-iron-wont-char-your-threads-unless-you-tell-it-to/
Uh, your logic is flawed. Just because someone can afford custom shirts, doesn't preclude them from laundering and ironing themselves.

In some situations, it might be the very fact that someone is willing to do their own ironing that they can then afford custom shirts. In other situations, one may feel they are better able to care for the garments themselves. In yet other situations, the money saved by doing the ironing may free up income for other things, like sports cars and working on paying down one's debt. Or, it may be easier for one to spend a half hour a week doing ironing whenever it's convenient rather than having to drop off and pick up based on the dry cleaner's schedule.
