I have a Panasonic and it does a good job.

But, what I want to say is, "What beautiful furbabies you have."

They can get hot enough, but the moment the iron come off from the base the temps go down quickly and soon is too cold to use.

I have the Maytag cordless, but I got tired of having to wait for it to reheat, so I don't use it any more.

I have the Sunbeam Steam Master Lx. I LOVE IT!!! I bought it at Walmart 14 years ago. To say I got my use out of it is an understatement. If I could find a second one, I would buy it again. It has a retractable cord. I need to purchase a back up iron, so I am in the market for a back up iron.

You can't get cordless irons in the UK any more, it's most odd. So I never got a chance to try one. I don't use my standard iron for quilting very much anyway, just for pressing fabrics (which I do in occasional batches) and for pressing quilt tops before basting. For all the pressing while I'm piecing, I use a travel iron and a table-top ironing board. Much handier, uses less electricity, and I find that the smaller iron gives greater accuracy.
