I am wanting to get a cordless iron. Does anyone have any
recomendations?

I haven't heard anything positive about them at all! I, too, was
interested in getting one, and checked around. The almost unanimous
report was that they don't get hot enough for cotton or linen, and
don't stay hot. I have been saving my money in hopes that they will
get better in the future.

The LQS here has a new Rowenta cordless iron in the classroom. It gets
very hot and re-heats fairly quickly. The only problem is many people
do not pay attention to the cordless fact and set the iron down on the
board rather than the charger and the next person gets a cold iron.

The whole put it back where you got it concept seems lost on them. :-)

I had one and did NOT like it for quilting. That was
about 14 years ago; technology may have improved. I
have a Rowenta that has a cord and shuts off
automatically. I am satisfied.

The Panasonic at Target that runs in the $59 range is wonderful! It
was recomended to me by a RCTQ member and I asked for it for Christmas
a couple of years ago. It gets SO hot I sometime burn my fingers
handling the fabric afterwards. I don't use the steam so I cannot
comment on that. I use a spray bottle. I also don't iron clothes, so I
cannot comment on that either. It does hold it's heat for a good long
while and it reheats really quickly. I find at workshops people always
use my ironing station! I like fusible batting and it works
excellently for that. I do it one side at a time with a dry iron.
Never tried two sides at once with the steam.

Here's the link (NAYY)
