I've had no problem with mine. Just had to plug it in and make sure I touch switch is flipped to ON and when you wrap your hand around the handle it should lower. One finger touch won't trigger it. You need to touch where the dots are or on the bottom of the handle. The sides of the handle won't trigger it either. I am literally using mine right now. I use it almost daily for my sewing projects. I just purchased it from Amazon a month ago and have had no issues with it raising and lowering. It's possible you got a faulty product.

It's only supposed to go down while you are ironing and then it pops back up. This was a problem for me because when I went to use my travel iron or the iron in my other home I would leave them laying down instead of upright. I then scorched a few things. I would not replace this iron there are much better one's on the market.

Whenever you touch the handle it will go down and not turn off. I had problem with the Vendor when I had problem with the iron. Make sure that the warranty is over 3 months. The seller said my iron is not in warranty after two months and I had problem with the Seller. I had to go thru with Oliso Company in order to get a new Iron.

Mine does the same thing. I haven't bothered with it yet cause I haven't needed to hold it down. Best solution is to puts some tape around the plug on the part that goes into the hole and then glue it in with a quality glue. Before I glue mine I was also thinking about putting a solid 1/4" or smaller iron rod through the whole length off the inside to add some weight to it. You can purchase that at Lowe's and they should cut it to size for you. Hope that helps you friend!

Two things: check the little switch on the heel of the iron - it might have gotten turned off. Sometimes after a while they just stop working. Don't know why. I sent one of mine back to Oliso and they replaced it.

My red light stays on all the time; it seems to just indicate that the iron is plugged in to a powered outlet. The backlight on the display is the indication on the on/off status of the iron. I have not notice Jamie's problem with the iron shutting off after 10 minutes - but admittedly I do not iron more that a couple of items at a time. Seems like you could turn it back on just by pressing the button under the display rather than unplugging and plugging.

I had this same issue with mine last night. I finally had to Hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds for it to turn off. I also plugged it into the charger to attempt to turn it off. It finally did turn off after an hour of searching here on web. However, it will not move past the android guy in the middle of screen when turned back on. I am returning it today.

Followup to my last respond. if you left the iron plugged in, it will automatically shut off. however the the will constantly blinks until either you upon it or lay it flat, which will automatically turn it back on .

That has happened to me on occasion. I unplug the iron and wait a couple of minutes and plug it back in, works like a charm.

Clear Value Deals: Could be a faulty iron. I received my iron and it works perfectly fine. The feet should only retract when you grab and release the handle while plugged in. Hope this was helpful. www.shop.clearvaluedeals.com

Hello Sandeep...I purchased this flat iron for my daughter and I asked her what to do. She said to hold the power button down until you hear a series of beeps and this will increase the temp. I hope I helped. Happy holidays to you. Peace.

I have this iron, when I have it on, it will stay on as long as I need it. It has never shut off while I was using it. Hope this helps.

I'm not selling. I purchased one and returned it the same week. The cord, where it attaches to the iron, had a contact problem and shorted several times.

Mine is doing the same thing. I even cranked it all the way up to the highest setting. I can still touch the flat iron face without singeing my finger- barely warm. I haven't even had it for a year and already it's pooping out. I guess I'll never look for a discount on the internet for my electronics! I'd rather spend the extra to buy it at a store I know I can go to and get customer service or a replacement product. Sorry about your (and my) luck!

I have the same problem. After reading the previous answer, I will try his suggestion. Mostly I use it for quilting so do more up and down motion on seams rather than a lot of actual ironing.

Hi Mary,I am sorry to hear your mobile only lit up for one night. You should see underneath of the top(where the top of the strings are located) there is an on/off switch. Please turn it to the "OFF" position for at least 24-48 hours and then turn it back to the "ON" position. This will allow the item to fully charge. If you are still having trouble, please email us so we can locate your order and take care of this for you. -Cory, Wind & Weather Customer Service

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.

Hi, Janet, No you don't hold the button down. Just push it down and it should start up and do the same to stop it. Ruth

Same here. For a while I managed to finagle it so I'd rubber band (yeah, it was huge) around the whole thing to hold the itouch in a specific spot and it would charge, otherwise, not. Now I can't seem to find that sweet spot any longer and it just won't charge. Too bad, too. I LOVE my Kicker. It sounds just perfect!!
