It is the Panasonic that I have and I really like it. I have only had it for a few months and I'm still getting used to placing it back in the stand. If you don't line those channels up you miss the connection. I will continue to check until I get it continuously get it lined up automatically. I'm going to blame that on my age. You can do that after you turn 65, can't you? My last cordless was an Oreck. Terrible. The reviews online echo that. No more Oreck irons for me. Shiloh - Gerry
