    cordless iron that works?

    Friends, my other hobbies have all involved power tools. I can build a deck or garden box, trim hedges, mow, blow leaves; all with electric tools and all without cords tangling around me.

    I rearranged my sewing area and now find myself in constant battle with the ironing cord which has become possesed with the attitude of an anaconda! I feel like I am Steve Irwin trying to press a seam! I am a beginner and not in position to spend over $100 on a tool that does not work.

    But if there is one out there that works I would be willing to spend that amount. I am limited by outlet access in my sewing area so RE rearranging is not my favorite choice.
    When I am perfect, I will write a book and everyone can be perfect too. Until then I will just have to be gracious in face of imperfection, and ask the same of everyone else for my imperfections.

    I bought a Panasonic cordless at Walmart, it was less than $70.00. I love it and love not having a cord! I have seen the same iron on the Internet, same model # for up to $150.00. Amazing! Try walmart. I have used this iron hundreds of times and it has never disappointed me.

    I used one at a quilt shop, and it was great

    I'm very interested in following this post as I hate my iron cord. I have threatened to hire someone to come put an outlet in at shoulder level. I'll sure check my Walmart to see if they have that one.

    I use the Panasonic on my long arm when I need to.

    Just for fun I did a search on Amazon and came up with a smartekST-2000N cord-cordless iron with some good reviews. It is only $29.99 on prime which means returns would be easy. It is cord or cordless. I think I'm going to order it for myself. I have prime so not much of a risk.

    Do you have a link to it? I couldn't find it on Amazon.

    Edit: Okay, I think I found it.

    Can't wait to hear your verdict. I looked and it has both corded and cordless options, plus no auto off!! That sounds perfect. Just want to know you like it before I bother.

    I got this iron for Christmas and am very happy with it. I have not used the steam part of it yet, and I may not, so I can't speak to that part of the iron. I am just happier with a spray bottle of water, I guess. I didn't use the steam part of my last iron either. I have not had a cordless before and didn't want to invest a large amount of money, even as a Christmas present. (This was a Christmas hint for my husband....) Mine came from Amazon, and, in fact, one of the reviews there is from me....a good review!
