M3Pro – I am updating this post to share a NEW Mini Oliso iron. If you have loved the first version – you are going to fall in love with this one!
Hello! Meet the new oliso M3Pro Project Iron – tailor-made for sewing, quilting, and crafting, with the performance of a full-size iron in a sleek, compact design.
The LED ProLight™ illuminates the precision tip and fabric, making it easier to see and work with even the smallest detail.
With the smooth Diamond Ceramic-Flow™ soleplate, detailer tip, and dual steam, the M3Pro presses flat seams and impeccably sharp creases, efficiently removing wrinkles.
M3Pro heats rapidly and maintains accurate fabric temperatures, and there is a 30-minute vertical and 10-minute horizontal standby mode with safety shut-off.
Designed for precision movement and ergonomic ease, the M3Pro fits snugly in your hand, minimizing wrist strain. Its optimal size fits seamlessly beside your sewing machine or travel bag.

This mini oliso has a light indicator which allows you to see the auto shutoff as well as when it’s on.
The water is super easy to fill with the large area under the handle. Simply lift the handle and fill. You’ll know how much is needed with the indicator on the back.
As always – the plate is fabulous. It’s so slick and just glides over whatever you are pressing. It’s my all time favorite!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is Oliso mini iron worth it?
I feel like it is! It’s got a great point in the front, now including a light so you can see!! and it heats up quick and the plate glides like butter.
How do you use an Oliso mini iron?
I use it as a regular iron as well as a travel one. It’s perfect for either. Also, with the point – it’s perfect for applique and small piecing ironing. It’s very precise in where it’s pressing.
What kind of water do you use in Oliso iron?
Tap water is just fine, but if you have super hard water – use bottled spring water. That’s the recommendation from Oliso.
What is the benefit of a mini iron?
But what small irons lack in weight and size they make up for in precision to detail. They are small and mighty. They can cover a smaller surface area at a time with their soleplates, and therefore can focus in on that area more effectively. You might think this would result in a longer ironing time, however that’s not always the case and it’s worth a try!
How long does it take for a mini iron to heat up?
About 10 minutes, but with the newer version you’ll have the button with the light to see when it’s ready and on.
Here’s a look at the previous version (which is still an awesome iron and still available for purchase!!)
