I don't think I've seen a discussion of this here...correct me if I'm wrong.
But, what are your opinions of the cordless irons? All my quilting friends
have them and really like them. I've tried theirs and am not sold! I don't
think they steam enough, they don't hold enough water, and for those few of
us who still iron clothes....they cool off when not on the base. So let's
hear your opinions. P.S. I think my Rowenta just died!

I tried one at a class last year and I wasn't impressed, either. IMHO, it
didn't get hot enough and needed recharging way too often. Granted, I'm
pretty fussy about ironing, and I'm *really* fussy about having a hot iron,
so YMMV.

I've looked into getting one but I've been unimpressed. I use my iron
a LOT, of course (but never for ironing clothes!) and I want something
that gets hot quickly, stays hot and doesn't take up a lot of space.
(Hmm, kind of what I want in a man. . . .must think about that.. .. )
The cordless irons have that stand that makes them far too bulky for my
taste, since I leave my iron on the ironing board. I also realized I
haven't had all that much difficulty with the cord, so why fix the
situation if it isn't broken?
Having said that, I am still looking for the perfect iron. . . .

Probably as hard to find as the perfect man! LOL

I had one of these for a while. It was the one that comes free with the
hyper-expensive vacuum cleaner. I was not impressed. It was sold for
$2 at a yard sale last month.
