Cordless Irons

I tried one at a class last year and I wasn't impressed, either. IMHO, it didn't get hot enough and needed recharging way too often. Granted, I'm pretty fussy about ironing, and I'm *really* fussy about having a hot iron, so YMMV.

I've looked into getting one but I've been unimpressed. I use my iron a LOT, of course (but never for ironing clothes!) and I want something that gets hot quickly, stays hot and doesn't take up a lot of space. (Hmm, kind of what I want in a man. . . .must think about that.. .. ) The cordless irons have that stand that makes them far too bulky for my taste, since I leave my iron on the ironing board. I also realized I haven't had all that much difficulty with the cord, so why fix the situation if it isn't broken?

Having said that, I am still looking for the perfect iron. . . .

I had one of these for a while. It was the one that comes free with the hyper-expensive vacuum cleaner. I was not impressed. It was sold for $2 at a yard sale last month.

Probably as hard to find as the perfect man! LOL

While I agree that it would be nice to use an iron that wouldn't promptly use its cord to crease the just-pressed length of backing fabric, I once had a cordless iron. Big mistake. As others have said, it didn't stay hot enough long enough to do much good. I replaced it with my Rowenta rather quickly.
