cordless iron that works?
#12
i've had a panasonic cordless for years... still work great and the sole plate still in good condition. the only think i don't like about it... if you have to iron yardage, you have to wait for it to reheat up... so i keep a corded one for that.

I fought my iron cord too, even with a cord minder. I found a plug that screwed in a lamp or overhead light that the light bulb screwed into. I have a light over my ironing table so screwed it in there. It's great to keep the cord out of my way. I think the plug was about $2 but it's been years ago.
Oh, I can still have a bulb in the socket, the plug is on the side.

Do you have a link to it? I couldn't find it on Amazon.
Edit: Okay, I think I found it.

How about a cord minder? It clips on your ironing board and holds the cord up out of the way. Mine is built into my board but they sell stand alone versions:

I bought the smartek iron through amazon, and spent the weekend using it. I LOVE it. I do have get used to always returning it to its stand so it stays hot, but perhaps the habit of returning my tools to the same spot every time could spread to all my tools? I can only hope!
