I use this for Quilting and Clothing,
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.

|Very pleased with this iron!,
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.
