I purchased the Panasonic cordless iron last November and I love it! The reservoir is not large and it does have an automatic shutoff but ... it is wonderful. I would never go back to another iron with a cord. I also have issues with my hand and the cordless iron is so great for that. I'm not constantly putting the iron in an upright position and moving my wrist up to put it down. It has saved so much stress on my hands. Purchase one, you won't regret it.
