Panasonic NI-E300TR U-Shape Steam Iron, White/Green Finish (Misc.)
After reading many reviews for the Panasonic NI-S300TR 1200-Watt Steam Iron with Curved Titanium-Coated Soleplate, White/Green I decided I was going to get it. But wait! Amazon has just notified me that there is a “newer model” of the iron for cheaper! Now imagine that, a newer model, and at a better price. Of course I’m going to try the Panasonic NI-E300TR U-Shape Steam Iron, White/Green Finish instead!

So here I go: This is a great iron, being that I am not an ironing fanatic, I only iron my work clothes the night before I wear them, and random miscellaneous items for my boyfriend when needed. In the reviews for the Panasonic NI-S300TR 1200-Watt Steam Iron with Curved Titanium-Coated Soleplate, White/Green it said that the “steam” function was pretty much worthless– well I’ve been using the steam function on mine every night and it seems to be working pretty well to get out the stubborn wrinkles. Also, the box advertises “25% More Steam Coverage” compared to the older model, so steam fanatics, get this one here!

The iron heats up fairly quickly, I was able to start ironing after ~30 seconds of waiting and preparing my shirts. It glides very smoothly on the clothing items and almost makes it seem as if I’m ironing silk! The new U-Curved shape is very cool looking– but I have yet to decide why it makes the iron a better iron– maybe I just need to iron more?

I really appreciate the cord reel because it saves space and doesn’t have a bulky cord I need to wrap up each time after I’m done using it. It also automatically shuts off after 10 minutes in the standing up position– which is a very thoughtful tool since I am often interrupted as well as forgetful!

I love the color, it’s my favorite– the only thing I have a gripe about is that it doesn’t come with a small watering canister. My previous irons came with one, not sure if manufacturer’s are just saving money now a days or what! But I have to refill the iron under the sink and it can get inconvenient!

Overall, well worth the money!
