I'm going to sound like a nut job but...I have three irons and each one has a specific use. One is a Panasonic cordless that I use with and without steam for small seams when I need less weight. One is a Shark that I use exclusively with steam and the last is a Rowenta that has never seen a drop of water. I love all three and If I had to buy another small iron I'd jump at another Panasonic Cordless.
