cordless irons

Do any of you have a cordless iron and like them? I've been thinking of
getting one but not sure about how well they work. would love any comments
about them.

Thanks so much,

I have one and I hate it, I have to keep putting it on the cradle to
keep it warm, and the cradle shakes... I am always afraid it will tip
over. I don't know the brand name. I bought it from Hancock Fabrisk
2 years ago.

Had one for a while, and it didn't stay hot with any reliability. The
one advantage was being able to take it over to the work table for a
quick press, instead of taking a layout to the ironing board. But this
is not really a good thing, because it encourages carelessness with
cutting mats! OTOH, if you really really love fusible batting, you'd
be all set!

I love fusible batting - and you can always use an extension lead!

I've had one, DH uses it for the times he needs to heat transfer a
design to wood. G
One of the places I taught had one in the classroom. Hated it. People
would forget to put it securely back into the base unit to heat up, and
if you were doing a lot of pressing at a time you had/have to stop every
few minutes to reheat the iron.
Several things to think about, and consider how you tend to use the
iron. G

I do not have one, and the reason for that is my friends who have them
and really hate them!

I have the Maytag cordless iron. I won it in a raffle/drawing. I use it
constantly in my sewing room and I like it a lot. It has a nice pointy
"nose" that gets into little places, is hot enough to do what I need it to
do and I can use it without getting tangled in a cord. It took a bit of
training to remember to put it back into the cradle to keep it heated and
since it is an auto shut off, I have to wait a bit for it to reheat on
occasion, but all in all, I like it. Just thought I'd thrown in some
comments from a satisfied customer. Since I didn't have to pay full price,
I probably wouldn't have one if I hadn't won it. But if (well, when) this
one dies....I think I'd probably get another one.

DH says that you shouldn't put irons in cradles - you might burn the baby !
