I like the idea of a cordless iron. My iron cord not only likes to tangle up with me, but also the fabric I'm trying to iron. Sometimes I think inanimate objects that I try to use have a mind of their own, and try to thwart the user. Though it is probably just me, clutsy me.
I imagine most people will always have a preference for just about anything that has many versions. When it comes to irons, I have owned exactly two, including this Black and Decker, so I haven't enough experience when it comes to irons. My old iron that I purchased in the 70's finally bit the dust a few years ago. That iron was very basic, but built to last.
