Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a bit obsessed when it comes to buying the right products for my life. I research my purchases thoroughly because I'm tired of buying poorly made products that either fail or under perform. I use an iron 5 days a week and I need it to function well, be enjoyable to use and I don't want to overpay for that. During my search, I didn't see an iron I trusted or liked for a fair price so I purchased this Panasonic here on Amazon. I LOVE IT! It got great consumer reviews and when I started using it I could see why. Before I tell you all the things a like about it, let me tell you that I actually purchased several irons from different manufacturers (which I returned) so I was able to compare. This iron has a cleverly shaped heating plate that allows me to slide over fabric in any direction without snagging! Why didn't anyone else think of that over the years? It produces a lot of steam and the water spray function is far better than all the other irons I tried. The other irons I tried sort of spit water unevenly or even shoot it in an odd direction. This iron doesn't do that. It's a well made spout that fires a fine but strong mist in the correct direction. The cord is long enough and it stands well when upright. The knobs are nicely made and the water filling hole is positioned nicely and not too small. I usually wouldn't write a review but I'm so tired of buying crappy products and wasting time and money. I'm hoping to save you the headache.
