I don't know if you can get them over there but I have one with a cordless feature - it is brilliant and it reheats in seconds on it's stand. You can also use it corded for ironing yardage (or shirts!) but it stays hot cordless plenty long enough to press a few blocks. It only cost around the equivalent of 20 USD. In fact I've got two, one in the sewing room and one downstairs for DH's shirts - guess which one gets the most use? ;-)
