    Default Cordless Iron Recommendation

    I have decided that I would like a cordless iron. I have been searching diligently through various sites regarding the pro's and con's of different models.

    I would like one that is:
    quick to charge
    large water reservoir
    NO auto shut off

    The weight, color, brand, etc. don't matter to me.

    Do you have a cordless iron you absolutely love and meets the criteria I am looking for? Why would you recommend it?

    TIA

    I have the Panasonic brand, but it has an auto shut off. I'm glad for that feature, because I've left my corded iron on countless times by mistake! I like mine very well for various reasons, but it wouldn't be what you are looking for on account of it's auto shut off feature. I haven't tried other models.

    I also have Panasonic and I think it has the auto shut off but I've never left it long enough to find out. But I will say that I don't ever intend to buy another one with a cord; so convenient!

    I really like the corded/cordless design. I was lucky with my last iron, it was a Black and Decker and it lasted many, many years.

    I purchased a Sunbeam at WalMart for $7 on clearance. It works great. I never put water in my irons, just use a spray bottle instead -- sometimes water, sometimes Best Press.

    I have a Panasonic and it is pointed at both ends (maybe all of them are) and I love it because of sewing my seams open.
    Aurora, I so agree with what Robert A. Heinlein says.

    I have the Panasonic iron. While it does have the auto shutoff, it takes less than two minutes to reheat. I love it!

    I purchased the Panasonic cordless iron last November and I love it! The reservoir is not large and it does have an automatic shutoff but ... it is wonderful. I would never go back to another iron with a cord. I also have issues with my hand and the cordless iron is so great for that. I'm not constantly putting the iron in an upright position and moving my wrist up to put it down. It has saved so much stress on my hands. Purchase one, you won't regret it.
