(More customer reviews)2/25/11: 2ND UPDATE ON THIS IRON. NOW MY IRON IS ALMOST 2 YEARS OLD. I STILL LIKE THIS IRON, BUT AS YOU WILL READ IN MY FIRST REVIEW I PREFER SS SOLEPLATES. I IRON CONSTANTLY BETWEEN MY HUSBAND'S DRESS SHIRTS AND ALL THE SEWING I DO. THE TITANIUM FINISH IS JUST STARTING TO WEAR OFF. I ONLY NOTICED THIS BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE IRON WAS NOT GLIDING AS EASILY AS BEFORE. I DO THINK THAT I IRON MORE THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON SO THIS MAY NOT BE A DETERRANT FOR MOST PEOPLE. I STILL RECOMMEND THIS IRON AND IT IS STILL STEAMING AWAY, BUT I WILL BE PURCHASING PANASONIC'S STAINLESS STEEL SOLEPLATE. I'M TEMPTED TO TRY THE ROWENTA, BUT QUITE HONESTLY DON'T LIKE THE REVIEWS I AM READING FOR SUCH AN EXPENSIVE IRON. THINK I WILL STICK WITH PANASONIC. I'LL KEEP MY CURRENT IRON FOR MESSY PROJECTS.
This is my 3rd iron in 6 months. I have had this iron for about 1 1/2 months so I am still waiting to see if it holds up. So far so good. My first iron was a B&D Digital2030 iron. Lasted 4 months and quit. Handle got hot and iron would turn on to Setting 1 after it was turned off. 2nd iron was a Shark brand. Didn't work from day one. Would only turn on if you unplugged the cord and then replugged. Returned that. So far, this iron is performing great. For a 1200watt iron it produced a lot of steam even without pushing the burst of steam button. I iron all my husband's work/dress shirts and need an iron that is adequate for cotton. The titanium coated soleplate is nice, but I do prefer SS. The tip of the iron is the best I have had so far. It is quite pointed and really gets into tight spaces. I sew quite a lot and this is great for pressing out corners. I purchased the titanium soleplate because of fusibles that I work with and need to be able to remove it. So far so good. The retractable cord is a nice feature although my iron is up and ready all the time. The cord c/b a little longer, but is probably limited because it is retractable. It does work nicely. The base of the iron is not too heavy (as it looks)and stands on the base really well. For the steam it produces, the amount of water it uses is remarkable. You don't need to fill it constantly, and it is fairly easy to fill. Didn't see the need for a removable water resevoir. A word of caution though - the iron needs to go thru several sessions to remove whatever is inside it. There was a slight fragrance the first few times I used it and it did deposit an oily (?)spot which came out easily on my white shirts. It did go away and now is fine. All in all, I recommend this iron. If it doesn't hold up I will come back and update my review. I do not recommend DIGITAL IRONS. I don't think the technology is there yet especially if you sew and leave your iron on a lot.
WELL, I HAVE HAD THIS IRON FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT. IT STILL PRODUCES A GREAT DEAL OF STEAM, THE SOLEPLATE IS HOLDING UP WELL, AND THE IRON HASN'T TIPPED OVER ON THE IRONING BOARD ONCE. I JUST PURCHASED ANOTHER ONE FOR MY SON BECAUSE HE NEEDS A RETRACTABLE CORD. EVEN IF THE IRON GOES KAPUT ON ME NOW, I THINK I WOULD STILL BUY IT AGAIN. I ALSO JUST REALIZED THAT THIS IRON HAS THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING SEAL OF APPROVAL. THAT IS ALWAYS A PLUS FOR ME.

Steam out wrinkles quickly and easily with this 1200-watt iron. The unit's titanium-coated curved soleplate provides smooth, gentle gliding, while its temperature ranges from 176 to 392 degrees F to accommodate a variety of different fabrics. The iron's jet-of-steam function delivers a powerful burst of steam to help remove stubborn wrinkles (or to help clean the steam vents), and its push-button spray mist directs extra moisture where it's needed most. The iron also offers adjustable steam settings for heavier fabrics or simple touch-ups, as well as a "dry" setting for no steam output. To ensure safety, its mercury-free electronic sensor automatically shuts off the iron after 10 minutes if left in the upright position and after 60 seconds if left unmoved on its soleplate or if tipped over on its side. Other highlights include a 6-ounce water tank, a large water window, an ergonomic rubber-grip handle, and an automatic retractable cord reel for tidy cord storage. The iron measures 10-7/16 by 4-5/16 by 5-1/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
