I too own this amazing iron and I truly like it. Not having to deal with a cord....well its just priceless. I made this purchase about three months ago from Amazon. There were so many great reviews and the thought of not having to deal with a cord, well I made the plunge. Once in awhile, I feel the iron is starting to cool so I return it to the base. It heats up very quickly. For me, returning the unit to its base for a quick heat-up outweighs the struggle of a cord. It's a really cute iron and that's fun too!
