My husband was going to WM to pick up prescriptions. Desperate to finish the closet, I called & asked him to pick up an iron, any iron, so I could finish. Him being a penny pincher, I was afraid what he would come back with. Imagine my surprise, when he brought a Panasonic cordless steam iron! It irons like a dream, is easy to fill, has no cord except on the recharge station(which has a retractable cord!), and because it is so light, I can iron for hours. It comes with a hard plastic blue cover/carrying case. its just wonderful. The reason for the splurge on hubby's part…..its a TOOL.
