No need to set the iron on its back when not in use! The iTouch technology means that with the moment you let go of the handle of the iron, the legs lift it up and off the ironing board. This design has won Oliso many awards: Time Magazine “Best Inventions of 2006”, Home Safety Council Award, Housewares Design Awards Finalist. The iron is heavy, about 4 pounds. But because you don’t have to cock your wrist to set the iron up, the weight isn’t that big of an issue. Of course, a heavier iron presses better, but it’s still heavy.
