07-06-2025Hi. I'm thinking about purchasing a cordless iron for my sewing room, but don't know much about them. As with anything else, there are pros and cons to anything. I presently have a corded iron with a rusted soleplate. It was not supposed to rust. Sigh!
What is your opinion of cordless irons? What are pros and cons?
What brand do you like/dislike?
Do I want a stainless steel soleplate or a ceramic soleplate?
Thanks everyone!

I had the Panasonic cordless and it didn't get as hot as I liked or stayed hot for long. Maybe the newer ones are much better at that. I have the Reliable Maven, the base is plugged in but the iron has the steam hose attached so not cordless but it is really good for the price.

I too have the Panasonic cordless with the ceramic sole plate and I will never ever be without one! My last one lasted 5 years before I had to replace it. I bought another for back up and will snag another for the backup to the back up! 2 is 1 and 1 is none in my world.

I also have a Panasonic iron. I love it. Maybe not as hot as other irons, but it works fine for me. It has auto-shut-off, which I also need, as I sometimes forget to turn off irons.

I love mine!!
Panasonic Pros:
Panasonic Pros:
- Love Cordless
- auto shut off
- mobility
- 3 heat settings
- pointed on both ends helps on seams
- pointed on both ends-must replace into base to set down
- not sure how long I can iron w/o replacing into charging base (hasn't been a problem)

No comment on the cordless but just saying--instructions for my new iron say to store it standing up. I wonder if storing it on the sole plate may contribute to the rust situation you report. It does seem more stable to put it down but still.......

I have used Panasonic cordless on my machine-side pressing station for years and years! I am on my third model! I love them but one caveat is my latest one is the lovely NIWL607A Cordless 360 Freestyle Steam/Dry Iron, Blue...but it is low on steam. It just does not make enough for my tastes, even with the steam burst button.
I do not have a cordless at my big pressing table. There I have a very powerful corded iron, the Reliable Velocity iron, which is nice and hot and has tons of steam!
