My hubby bought me a panasonic cordless iron for my birthday a few years ago and I absolutely love it. I remember when I used to iron fabric how the cord would always catch on the fabric that I had already ironed and wrinkle it. I absolutely love not dealing with the cord all the time! I have to have an iron that steams and I like the fact that the water "tank" on this one is removable so you don't have to take the whole iron to the sink to fill it. Its just the best! Plus no dial, just touch buttons for the settings and a light that stops blinking when it's hot.
