I was lucky enough to get one of the Maytag cordless in the late 90s and I absolutely love it. Just like other Maytag products (before they sold to Whirlpool), it has not needed ANY service. It has been great. I use it for quilting only. I have a regular iron for ironing large items and regular laundry (does anyone do that any more?!). Unfortunately, they no longer make the Maytag. I don't know what I will do if and when this one breaks down. So far, so good! The best is I have never had it spit and sputter at all either! :thumbup:
