San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/3/2005 -- New, Labor-Saving Iron Especially Helpful for Adults with Joint Pain

The First Iron with Legs and a Brain


Bothered by arthritic joints or sore wrist when you iron?

The new Oliso makes it much easier. The light-weight iron always stays in a horizontal position on the ironing board. There’s no need to be constantly picking it up, standing it upright and then lowering it again onto the fabric. Just touch the handle and the iron lowers itself onto the ironing board. All you have to do is glide it over the fabric. Remove your hand and the legs automatically lift the iron into a horizontal position above the fabric. Just touch the handle and the iron lowers itself again onto the fabric.

Voila! No more tired, aching wrist, no more burnt fabric.

Loaded with functional features like a powerful steam burst, an adjustable, 360 degree cord and an auto-shutoff system. And, of course, those one-of-a-kind legs. No other iron has them and the legs make ironing much easier – you are not constantly lifting and lower the iron.

It also makes ironing safer – you don’t stand the iron up after each use so it’s much harder to knock off the ironing board.

Just when you thought ironing couldn’t possibly be improved, along comes the Oliso. $99, available at Bloomingdales, Dillard’s, Foley’s, Gottschalk’s, Robinsons-May, Meier & Frank and other department stores, the Front Gate and JCPenney catalogs and select Ace Hardware Stores. More information at: www.oliso.com.

Interviews are available with Ehsan Alipour, president and inventor of the Oliso. Ehsan is based in San Francisco
