The Touch & Glide iron automatically stands up on built-in legs as soon as it senses your hand releasing its handle. Grasp the arm again and digital sensors feel the pressure and command a micro-motor to pull the iron back down onto the ironing board. An auto shut-off feature turns the device off if it’s plugged in but not being used.

Oliso claims it is the “first major innovation in iron design in over 60 years.”

The iron is available here for $98 or here for $117. It will be in department stores in September.
