 Very pleased with this iron! March 15, 2008

I've been using my Panasonic cordless iron for about 6 months now and am entirely pleased with the performance. The iron heats up fast and will keep a high heat for a few minutes until it requires a quick reheating in the base. The steam pressure is surprisingly strong although the water capacity is not large. If you have a lot of ironing you may refill the container more than once - but this is easy since it is removable and doesn't leak when replaced. The convenience of not having the cord in the way far outweighs any limitations this iron may have, such as the small water capacity or the fact that it cannot reheat itself while you are ironing.
People have commented on the iron not keeping its heat long enough. I don't have a problem since I ALWAYS place the iron on the base when I am not actually ironing. This will keep it hot continuously. The technique is you iron until the steam starts to weaken, then set the iron on the base for 20 or 30 seconds while you are turning or adjusting the garment on the ironing board. So it's not necessary to waste time entirely in order to keep the iron hot.
The smooth-gliding stainless steel sole place is a deluxe, durable feature and the iron (as most Panasonic products) is built to last. The plastic cover with carrying handle fits well and securely. Perhaps veteran ironers with years of experience, and who don't get the cords tangled may prefer an old fashioned steam iron. But if the cord always gets in your way and slows you down to the point of irritation, you won't regret spending the price for this iron.
Pricey, but worth it November 14, 2007

After several laundries ruined my custom made dress shirts, I decided to wash/iron my own. I hadn't ironed anything is fifteen years, and dreaded the prospect. However, this Panasonic cordless works so well it is actually tolerable! The design, functionality, packaging and features are excellent. Highly recommended.
Once you go cordless you will never go back! February 21, 2008

I just had a baby! I was worried about him pulling on the cord and the iron landing on him! I look at all the cordless iron and pick this one because of all the thing it does. The cord is in the base not the iron itself. The cord automatic retractable into the base. This is great because you do not need to worry about it being in the way!
The iron has three setting Low, Med, High. On the base it tell you which setting to use for what fabric.
I love the easy to fill water tank! You just push a button, pull out the tank, fill the tank, and slide it back in, there you have it! No more spills! Awesome!!! It has a auto-shut off in 10 min. The iron light will say off when to turn off, with the other irons you can tell if it off until you go to use it. Water go everywhere!!! I also love that this iron does not leak everywhere! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the heat-resistant carrying case! You can put it way still hot, just put the top on and put it way!!! You do not need to worry about burning anything!!!! That is great! You can leave it on the counter with the top on too! I also like that the case transparent the other iron are solid. I like that you can see the iron it looks better to me. This iron is great for travel too! We take it on a trip it works great!!!!
It have a 2-for-1 with Jet-of-Steam and Self-Cleaning too!
On the website it say this: (Stainless Steel Soleplate)
"With a series of round indentations that trap pockets of air between the soleplate and the fabric, the iron glides smoothly and effortlessly."
Has you can see I love this Iron!!!!!
I would say that you need to go by what the base says about what setting to use because, if it is to hot for the fabric it will stick!
Best iron ever from a quilter's point of view June 23, 2008

Do you have any idea how much ironing is involved in putting together a pieced top for a quilt? Loads. First there is the ironing of the freshly washed fabrics, then each square or portion of the piecing,and then the top in total must be pressed. All this is very tireing when constantly fighting a cord in your way. This great little iron cuts all the fighting of the cord for you. It's agreat addition to any quilters room. I highly recommend it.
I use this for Quilting and Clothing September 2, 2009

This replaced a decent (read expensive) Rowenta with a cord. My dog pulled the Rowenta off the ironing board by catching his foot or tail in the cord. The Rowenta lived and so did the dog, but out of concern for the safety of dog and home I immediately started shopping for a new iron--cordless being the first priority.
I was concerned that the iron would not be as hot as I need it to be for linen and cotton and read all the reviews and decided to try it anyway because it is easily returned to Amazon. I chose the steel sole plate and did not want a non-stick sole plate because of toxins and scratching.
Happily - I am able to announce that I am using it almost daily for quilting and weekly for the laundry/ironing tasks. It stays hot - good and hot. I have a Polder ironing board with a metal tray at the end for an iron to sit on. I place the base there and the board is free so I can iron with no trouble. I use the iron, put it back on the base, adjust whatever I am ironing and continue ironing in this manner. This keeps the iron hot all the time. It takes 10 minutes for the auto shut off and so as long as I am working steadily there is no problem. The Rowenta had an auto-off like most higher price irons and it was off every time I turned around. I hated that.
As a quilter, I usually work in an assembly line fashion, I piece everything I can, press and then piece again and press so I do not have a problem with the iron cooling down in the middle of my work.
I took the Panasonic Cordless to my quilting and sewing group meetings and everyone came running over to see it--it is really lovely. Some people oohed and aahhhed, and put it on their Christmas list, but some were quickly disinterested. We all have our own needs--and this iron suits me very well. Because of the cordless design, I don't mind ironing at all anymore.
Reasons to like it:
The iron is beautiful, with a clean design, 4 simple soft-touch buttons.
The clear case is one of the best features as it can be carried to quilting classes or sewing groups.
It is easy to set temperatures, there are 3 temps and you can press a button and choose the appropriate temp, no spinning dial or guessing like most irons.
There are lights to show if its cool or hot.
Iron gets very hot.
Steam feature works fine, although I often use a dry iron for quilting.
The removable water tank is fantastic. No more carrying water in a pitcher to my iron to refill it. Now I can gently release the tank and take it right to the water source.
Retractable cord on the base.
I should also mention that I don't use the spray feature because of habit I keep a large sprayer filled with fresh rosemary scented water.
My only gripe, a small one, is that I wish it had a longer cord on the base, but then it probably would not be retractable.
