🔥 Panasonic Dry & Steam Iron with Titanium Coated Soleplate, Precision Temp Dial – 1200W – NI-E250TR (White/Green), Medium Review

I think this iron is perfect for certain needs. If you iron your clothes once or twice a week and need a durable steam iron that heats up quickly, go for it. I have used it for sewing and worked on projects for hours. When he died nine months later, he was DEAD. haha! I'll improve the quality a bit on my next iron, but for the price it's a good investment if you only need it here and there.

Despite "research" I bought two more irons that I had to return or give away. I gave it four stars because even this one, good as it is, doesn't live up to my previous one (20 years old) which eventually failed. It glides smoothly over clothes (not all), is easy to fill, gives off enough steam and is not fatiguing with its weight. The only small point of criticism is that the automatic spring retraction requires a stronger spring.

Titanium sole is the best since sliced bread. If something melts or sticks to the bottom of the iron, just use a dry paper towel and the iron will come clean. Ideal iron for mixed media or quilt artists who use their irons for unusual techniques or with unusual materials (plastic bags, etc.). Highly recommended - and hey, it's LIME GREEN - what more could you ask for. Oh, cord storage is also very useful.

This iron actually gets pretty hot! I don't know if this is a perceived safety issue or the fact that irons are now plastic instead of metal, but the last few irons I've had just didn't get hot enough to wring out crumpled cotton. Not only does this get the job done, but it also has two vapor settings - low and high, and high for continuous vapor. No more water on what I iron. (An extra step I could do without.) It also has all the bells and whistles - auto shut off, steam release for cleaning,
