Panasonic NI-S300TR 1200-Watt Steam Iron

I know...an iron is an iron... This one is really nice though. I like that the water reservoir is clear so that you can see when you need a refill. I like that the base is more substantial because I have a habit of knocking my iron off of the ironing board. (Reason for having to get a new one). It works really well and I have no complaints. The price is great too.

This iron is a great value --- works as well as the very high priced irons. This is my second purchase of this iron!

So far I've used this on pattern paper and several different types of fabric. It has a nice weight that you can allow to do most of the work for you, and it has a wonderful grip. It is fairly easy to fill the tank, and if you use a 3/4 cup measure to do it, you'll be just under Max - the tank is just over 6 oz. It glides beautifully over my fabric, though I had to be a little careful with the paper, since this iron is fairly well weighted. It has both a spray button and a steam button, and a simple switch between dry, some steam, lots of steam. The retractable cord is a wonderful thing and works very well. Blessed thing to have when there are curious animals that like to chew on cords or anything string-like. Makes for neat storage, too! Heats quickly, and reheats quickly if it has shut itself off. It gives you 10 minutes if it is in the upright position, so that is plenty fine. I love this iron!

Selected for it's titanium soleplate which cleans easily if you get fusible web fused onto it instead of fabric or the ironing board cover. Nice and light weight. Turns itself off, but reheats quickly.
