I started researching this iron just yesterday! Cords can really get in my way, and my cat loves to lay under my ironing board when I iron fabric. I worry she will yank my iron off the ironing board when I stop to sew. You have made this iron even more appealing. Thank you for the timely video!
Thanks for the info! I've put this exact iron in my on-line shopping cart a couple dozen times but never had the nerve to purchase. But, now I will purchase it after seeing your excellent demonstration!
Anita Thomas I too had this on my list of items to buy, but I recently came across another brand (Sunbeam or Shark - do not remember off the top of my head) which I picked up fir about 1/3 of the price. It does not have the carrying case but I do not travel to retreats etc. It can be stood up without the base which I personally find convenient.
I have this iron I've had it for a few years and I love it one of the comments I noticed here was that cordless irons do not stay hot this iron has always stayed very hot for me I love it.
I don't have this one, but I do have one of their other cordless models and it makes me so happy! I hated ironing when I had a cord. Now I'll make a day of it when I have a good sized stack of new fabric to fold and sort
I just bought this iron from mass drop so happy to find it lives up to the praise. I didn’t even realize it has a carting case so that was a bonus also I learned a lot that I didn’t realize buy watching your review. You are a great teacher love you watch all your videos!
I would have loved one of these irons when I did long-arm quilting for quilters. Whenever I needed to steam out extra fullness in their borders, which was quite frequent, I used to have to first heat up my iron, unplug it, then take it over to the long-arm machine and use steam on the borders. This Panasonic would have been a dream for that very thing.
I have an older version of this iron. Only difference is it has the flat back end. I've used it for almost 10 years and I still love it. You don't have to put it hack into the tray quickly. Holds heat well. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone.
Happy to see you finally got this iron. :D I've had mine for about 2 yrs, now and enjoy the cordless feature and the double points. I usually switch from my left hand to my right hand when ironing so this is great. This year for Christmas I got the Oliso iron in pink just for quilting so I don't have to worry about knocking it over or forgetting to prop it up. I do love a good gadget! LOL Thanks for sharing! xoxoJanet
I've always found ironing calming & was even my favorite chore as a young girl. But my 30 yr old Sunbeam still works -though it doesn't travel to my closet :) ♡
Thanks so much Laura. Excellent demonstration. Unlike you I truly dislike ironing. So thanks for pointing out all the new features. Cordless !! Great! Rosemary
I got this iron a few years ago. A few cons: it leaks A LOT. So much so that I have to put a folded towel under the base or else the surface it sits on gets absolutely soaked, which can't be safe. Also, the cord is on a reel and it doesn't always want to stay unreeled. It will often start reeling the cord back in itself when I'm still using it, which tugs the base toward my outlet because the base is very lightweight. That being said, the finicky base takes away from the cordless iron appeal for me. Another problem I've encountered is that when I am trying to use the steam button, it doesn't always give me a burst of steam without pressing it MULTIPLE times, like 15 to 20 times or more, especially when your water reservoir is not filled completely. Having the reservoir filled to the brim in turn causes this thing to leak like a faucet. This iron also doesn't keep hot very long, which is a problem for me when I'm pressing large amounts of fabric. I think I'm finally going back to a regular iron.
I'm glad I stumbled across your Channel I will be watching all of your videos great work by the way it's even easy for me to stay interested and I'm a 20 something year old male! Keep up the great work!
Four short questions for you; what are your thoughts about ceramic vs metal iron sole plate? Also does the manufacturer say what type of water should be used? How long does the iron stay at the chosen temperature when ironing/pressing (once the temperature is reached) before it needs to go back on the charger? Lastly, does the chosen temperature light blink when the temperature of the iron falls below the set temperature while using it? This was a nice overview of this product. Thank you!
It uses tap water, the light does not blink when the temp falls. If I am ironing a large piece of material I find I need to set it back on its base frequently to keep it hot enough.
it is a metal sole and I always use a mix of distilled water and tap water 1/2 1/2. You have to keep the iron on the rest when not using it, but I do find it stay hot enough for me to press each seam as needed. I don not press a whole shirt at on time. hope this helps
I’m so excited to see your review-I’ve been considering this iron for a while now. About to watch now. Would you keep us apprised of any thoughts in the future if you change your review?
Laura, thank you for this video and I've learned something new, too. I've had this iron for 2 or 3 years and have used it almost every day. I love that it is cordless and light weight. Today, it stopped working. I find that highly unacceptable since the other irons I've used in the past that were heavy and had cords lasted for years. The off light is showing green and the setting for high light is showing red and I can't get the selection button to change the setting. Any suggestions?
Very impressive iron Laura. I have bad arthritis in my hands and a couple of years ago bought the Oliso iron thinking it would be easier on my hands. Sadly the weight of the iron, even without water in it, is so heavy my wrists and hands ache badly after about an hour of use. How does the cordless Panasonic compare in weight compared to the Olisio or regular irons? Love watching all your tutorials and am one of your biggest fans. Keep up the good work. Brenda from St. Albert, Alberta
I bought mine for the same reason. I took a quilting class and they had the Oliso. I was happy to use it, but the weight of it was way too heavy for me. I love the Panasonic, but I did find it cooled down quickly for large pieces of material.
Hey Ms. Laura great reviews. Thank you that's awesome you have one of those. I plan to get one this year for my self. You're so talented, I love it. I do have a question don't know if you've done a tutorial or not. I'm a 2X and I want toake me a pretty blouse I think open neck or rounded neck and a little flair on long sleeves. Let me know your thoughts please. Thanks for everything.
no I have not done a pattern on that yet but it sounds nice. This is a perfect job for a pattern. be sure to buy the correct size as patterns are not the size we buy in the store:)
I love this iron, but after buying an Oliso Smart iron a few years ago to replace my old Sunbeam (which I still use for dry ironing), then a SteamFast travel iron, I think my husband will shoot me if I ask for a fourth iron, or at least start asking me to iron actual clothes, which we all know will never happen lol
I bought this iron, but the water droplets stays in the cartridge after each use. I read all through the manual, set the dry function before turn off. How about yours? Thinking weather if I should return this or not.
Hey Laura ! 👋💓I am smitten by this iron. ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜 While I can see how easy this is to use, especially for arthritic wrists and directional capabilities etc, you didn't mention the weight of the iron. What is that like?
Renee Felts mine takes about 45 seconds to heat up the first time I use it, and then when it kicks off and I turn it back on after sewing for a while it takes about half the time. What I think some people don't get is that any time you would normally set the iron down to adjust what you're working on, it needs to go on the base. You can't charge it up and use it for an hour without setting it on the base. I don't use a ton of steam so I can't help you on that part.
it takes the same time as my reg iron to heat up and stays hot enough for what I need to press. If I need to press a large thing I would use my reg iron.
Would hate this iron. My iron allows me to bypass Auto off, so it stays on till I ask it to turn off. If I want auto off, I can turn it back on, but as a quilter I despise the iron cooling down and having to wait each time. My iron is also a steam generator and so it's got steam ready the minute I pick it up. I has NEVER once spit, dripped or leaked. Cordless is great, but not with the auto off, the instant cooling down and having to take the reservoir off to fill it.. yeah no thanks.
Livinnpjs you don't have to take the res off to fill it, it's just an option. I never take mine off, I refill it while it's on. And I only have to wait a few seconds for it to reheat when it has kicked off. It takes longer to go from not having been on at all today to hot than from having kicked off to hot, if that makes sense.
It makes sense. I'll stick with my Reliable Velocity 200IR, I set it to Bypass the Auto Off, and it never goes off. (unless I turn it off) So it's always hot. What I do for filling though is great, I have a Zero Water Filter jug WITH the spigot on it, I have it sitting next to my iron, and use the spigot to fill the measuring cup, pour into iron. Clean water without hauling distilled gallons, water is always at my elbow and I only have to fill up the Zero Water jug once a month.
If you are in the market for a new iron, check out the Reliable Velocity. It has 4.5 stars on Amazon, on BBB and 4.7 on Home Depot. Its 169.00 which is less than Oliso. Mine has NEVER spit, dripped or leaked, it has the auto off BYPASS so I set that when I start sewing and then turn the iron off when I go to bed. That way, the iron is never off when I need it, but safe when I want safe. It's a steam generator, so loads of steam and I have even considered buying a second one to put up on a shelf, I never want to be without this iron. It is heavy though, if that is a factor for you. Reliable is the manufacturer that makes all the professional irons and steamers used in the garment industry, so it's high end, well made. I use a Zero water Filter with the spigot vs distilled, it's much handier and no lugging gallons of water.
Livinnpjs I have never heard of your iron, what is this “jug” you use & how does it work? Is it a filtering type of jug w/replacement filters then? To bypass auto shut off is a wonderful feature, for piecing & appliqué I prefer to control that aspect.
I've just searched New Zealand Panasonic, it isn't available here, so no need to answer the question, unless of course someone else has a similar problem. Thanks for the demo though. :)
i love this iron.. i have had mine for 10 years now, and it's still going strong.

I've owned this for a month now just love it.
I have this iron. Haven't used it yet but I bought it because it is cordless. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing.
I don't have this one, but I do have one of their other cordless models and it makes me so happy! I hated ironing when I had a cord. Now I'll make a day of it when I have a good sized stack of new fabric to fold and sort

Laura.... finally someone else that loves to iron.
Love that iron! I have it for half a year now, and I will never go back to one with a cord attached to it!
I have had this iron for several years. I take it to quilt retreats! Very convenient!

It travels to your closet, just not in a stupid plastic case.
I have this iron and really like it for quilting. Love your videos☺
I love mine. I have several squeeze water bottles nearby that I use to refill my iron, no need to go to water tap.
I absolutely love this iron! It is well worth the price.
What??!! FINALLY!!! Bless the inventors and bless you for bringing it to my attention and explaining its features!♡
Thanks so much Laura. Excellent demonstration. Unlike you I truly dislike ironing. So thanks for pointing out all the new features. Cordless !! Great! Rosemary
I recently purchased this same iron. I am a big fan of the cordless feature and this iron holds the heat well.
Gwen Malinowski is yours ceramic or metal? I am hearing ceramic holds heat better/longer.
MGS I have the exact iron Laura is using in the video. It is metal and for a cordless it holds heat well.
Thank you so much for this video. I was struggling with how to make the cord retract for hours then I came on youtube and found your video.
That iron resembles the old flat irons that were heated on the wood stove. My mom had them.
Love this iron for quilting purposes.
Hi Laura and thanks a lot. This iron is very interesting! Have a great day. 😎🌸
Just got mine today.....can’t wait to use it !
That was a awesome demonstration
I love you're videos
Wow, just what I need in my sewing room. Thank you for the tip.

I LOVE MY IRON IT WORKS WONDERFULLY!
I have had mine a year, or two. LOVE, LOVE mine. Its a bit big for Travel. But for retreats, it would be good, maybe not just a one day class though.
I love my iron. It's the best iron I've ever had.💖
I have one and love it ..... I use it when I have wrinkled tops on my longarm
How tf do you turn it off. Mine is still hot after an hour and a half?
I love mine! I have in purple and use it all the time when piecing.
Sherri Alexander price of iron
Cool. Cordless iron. Makes since to me. Thumbs up.
All my irons last about a year. The same is true for this one. Lasted a year.
Thank you for this review. Ive been wondering about this iron. You explained everything very well. Now i have to make up my mind lol.
Simply the best iron! Love it
What is the price of the iron
Roberta Hyde about 89.00
this was very helpful thank you! just rented one from my hotel in japan so everything is in japanese XD
My mother is looking for a perfect iron. Now i know what to buy for her. Thanks 🙏

I like this iron because my dog is always where the cord is .
Ordered one in blue.
What a great idea

Is this iron dual voltage to 240 v.

I love mine.
Can I use this in UK ?

SewVeryEasy yeah, that's what I heard. I was looking for a pattern one day at JOANN'S I was totally frustrated. It was hard finding my size
I don't quilt, but if you want to be a good seamstress you need to learn what these girls know.
I'm just unboxing my Panasonic 360! Thank you.
Congratulations on your new machine 👍
Hi how are you im very sad i cant find the iron in my country 😥😥😥
I love this iron, but after buying an Oliso Smart iron a few years ago to replace my old Sunbeam (which I still use for dry ironing), then a SteamFast travel iron, I think my husband will shoot me if I ask for a fourth iron, or at least start asking me to iron actual clothes, which we all know will never happen lol
Dee L هه
how much
Love 💗
I noticed you also own an Oliso Pro. Which one do you prefere? And why?
wow I like them both, the cordless is really handy but when I need heat for a longer time the Oliso is great
@@SewVeryEasy im from Egypt and i cant find the iron in my country 😥😥
I bought this iron, but the water droplets stays in the cartridge after each use. I read all through the manual, set the dry function before turn off. How about yours?
Thinking weather if I should return this or not.
yes I do still have the condensation in the water tank. so I jus give it a shake to get as much as I can out.
@@SewVeryEasy , thanks. I think I will do that, too. 😊
I've been wanting this iron, but the new ceramic plate or no?
Therese Ruff YES I have the one with the ceramic plate and LOVE it! This iron STAYS HOT no problem with cooling down. The steam is fantastic.
It's been several months and I'm curious how the iron is working for you?
love it:)
Are you still happy with the cordless iron or the ironing station?
yes very much!
Sponsored by panasonic?
no I just thought I share :)
Why not show it turn on and practice it?
Hey Laura ! 👋💓I am smitten by this iron. ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜 While I can see how easy this is to use, especially for arthritic wrists and directional capabilities etc, you didn't mention the weight of the iron. What is that like?

Laura how long does it stay hot enough to press and steam.... that would be my biggest concern. And how long does it take to heat up??

Cordless irons do not stay hot
Susan Goodin I use mine for hours on end. Works like a charm
Love this iron, it stays hot!

A great iron, however very expensive here.
