A Great Pair of Legs
You've scorched your last dress shirt. When you let go of the Oliso steam iron, it automatically lifts itself to stand about an inch above the board. To resume ironing, just touch it again, and the legs gently retract. This little trick is triggered by sensors located in the patented "smart touch" handle. Leave the iron facedown for longer than eight minutes, and it shuts itself off.

Inventor: Oliso
Availability: Now; $90
