Best Cordless Irons

When you decide to go for a cordless iron, you might face a problem of finding yourself a suitable model, since there are not so many good choices right now. Yet, this surely doesn't apply to Panasonic. This company remains a leader in this market segment and produces only high-quality irons, with the NI-WL602 being a vivid proof of that.

The NI-WL602 iron is ergonomically designed for convenient handling and maneuverability. A pretty large handle ensures a comfortable and firm grip for any palm size while a lightweight construction prevents the wrist and arm strain and fatigue. All controls are smartly located within easy reach, making the unit operation a breeze. Plus, it features a detachable water tank, which means you won't need to carry the whole unit to the sink when you need to refill it.

Coming up to performance, the NI-WL602 features only 3 temperature options, including high, medium, and low settings adjusted by push buttons instead of a dial controller. However, according to users, those three heat options are just enough for accomplishing ironing tasks. The unit heats up in less than a minute once you plug it in the charging station and doesn't cool provided that you put it to the base whenever you're rearranging garments.

What we like about the NI-WL602 iron most, though, is its innovative soleplate. It has a dual-tip design, allowing you to move the iron back and forth without creating new creases and without changing direction when gliding around buttons, pockets, and other tricky spaces. Plus, it's made of ceramics, notorious for its resistance to damages and scratches and ability to smoothly glide over all types of fabrics without the risk of burns.

If you have quite a lot of ironing tasks to accomplish on a regular basis or have to de-wrinkle kids clothes or workwear nearly every day, it’s essential to have an iron that will make those routines maximum quick and convenient. This is where the Light N’ Go cordless iron from Black and Decker will come into play. Not only does it offer hard-to-beat convenience of cable-free design, but also it is distinguished by a smartly engineered construction and excellent functionality that will make your ironing tasks much less of a chore.

For a start, at about 4 lbs of weight, the model is pretty lightweight and a breeze to handle. It won’t cause excess hand and arm fatigue even after prolonged use. On the other hand, 1500 watts of power make sure the soleplate heats up almost in an instant. To be more precise, it will take less than 10 seconds to heat up to the highest temperature after every 30 seconds of use. So, once you turn or spread the clothing item, your iron will be ready for use and you won’t even notice those stops for a reheat.

To proceed, an advanced non-stick ceramic soleplate in a combo with adjustable temperature settings will deliver perfect ironing results on any type of fabric, be it thicker cotton, linen, and jersey or more delicate satin, chiffon, and silk, with no scorches or damages to it. More than that, spraying and steaming functions will help tackle the most stubborn creases and smooth out even heavily wrinkled garments. Notably, the steam jet is powerful enough to let you use the iron for vertical steaming and quick clothes touch-ups when needed.

The Panasonic cordless steam iron is all about functionality and usability – two main features you’re looking for in a steam iron of the type. The appliance has 1500 Watts of power that can produce heat from 248º F to 392º F – a great range to handle ironing at home as well as quilting and crafting tasks. 

To adjust one of three temperature settings (low, medium, and high), you need to use a button on the handle once you place the iron on the charger. As soon as the iron is ready to use, a light indicator on the handle will change from flashing to steady mode. Depending on the chosen temperature, it takes the iron 1-2 minutes to heat up.

In addition to variable temperature, you can also adjust steam option. It’s possible to use either dry or steam ironing by placing a slider on the handle to the preferable position. If you choose steam ironing, you can also control steam intensity with the same slider. Spray option is one more useful feature that will help you handle deep creases on both thin and thick fabrics. 

Don’t overlook a vertical steam function that makes ironing delicate clothes a convenient and effective process. We’d also like to draw your attention to the water tank of this model. Although it isn’t very capacious (5 oz), the reservoir is detachable so that its refilling is a matter of seconds. Just push a button to detach the tank, fill it with water, and put it into place with one move. 

Finally, take notice of a stainless steel soleplate that glides over any fabric effortlessly thanks to its non-stick properties. Plus, stainless steel is very durable and easy to clean.

Though a modern market offers a whole lot of different types and models of irons, ironing is still a chore most people are averse to do. You are not an exception? If so, turn your eyes to the Panasonic Freestyle cordless iron that will completely change the way you iron once you try it in action.

The appliance heats up and gets ready to use in about 8 seconds and keeps its temperature for up to 30 seconds before you need to put it on the base again. And you’ll have some time to rearrange the garment on the ironing board while the device is charging. It will be ready to proceed in the next 8 seconds. A cordless design will cut down the annoying cord-play as you glide the iron over your clothes and will let you steam and iron in all directions with ease.

Most corded irons are 1500-watt units and so is this model. Yet, the power is not the most factor when it comes to ironing performance in cordless irons. To ensure smooth and quick ironing results, the Panasonic Freestyle generates a powerful steam shot to “kill” the wrinkles in one go. Depending on how rumpled your garments are, you can choose between a high, medium, and low steam jet. Meanwhile, an anti-drip system will prevent the water from spilling when you need to iron at a low temperature.

The unique thing about the Power XL tool is that it combines the convenience of cordless irons with the efficiency of corded ones. See for yourself.

Once you take this steamer/iron in your hand, you'll be surprised at how lightweight it is, especially compared to regular corded models. At about 2 lbs, holding it is so easy that you can accomplish all of your ironing tasks with ease without ending up with wrist fatigue, even if you use it for hours on end. Contributing to the ergonomics is a handle, which has a comfy shape to ensure a secure grip, and convenient placement of control buttons, making it easy to quickly change the temperature, add moisture or switch to a steam mode. And you can't but like an oversized water tank. It can hold up to 12.5 oz of water, saving you the need to refill it too often, which can be extremely helpful when steaming.

When it comes to the Power XL's functionality, it is on par with its rivals. Thanks to variable heat control paired with a ceramic soleplate, this iron is perfectly suitable for all kinds of fabrics. And thanks to a tapered tip, it can also be used for multi-directional and detailed ironing. The advantage of a soleplate being made of ceramics rather than steel is that it boasts better heat retention and has better non-stick properties. That, paired with an advanced ion technology applied in this model, greatly contributes to the ultra-smooth gliding experience, making the Power XL suitable for any types of fabric, be it delicate silk or thick cotton, linen, or denim.

Now, let's say a few words about its steaming function. The iron has as many as 19 steam release points on the soleplate, which create a powerful blast of fine steam, and features 4 steam channels cleverly located to evenly distribute the moist. Thanks to this, you can achieve an excellent steaming effect without any wet spots. Also of note is that the Power XL can act as a full-scale steamer, enabling you to quick-iron and de-wrinkle hanging garments and curtains without taking them off from the window.
