Excellent iron -- 2010-03-08
I bought this iron to replace an old Westinghouse iron that I inherited from my Mother before 1980, so I calculate that it was more than 30 years old. I don't iron very often. I had washed a houseful of cafe curtains, and I wanted a good steam iron so that I wouldn't need to sprinkle them before ironing, something that would smooth out the wrinkles with as little effort as possible. I read quite a few reviews on Amazon before deciding which iron to buy. This one was highly acclaimed by many, so I bought it. What a good choice! I love this iron. Knowing that our tap water is hard, I bought a jug of distilled water and filled the iron's reservoir to the appropriate line, followed the directions for steaming, and in no time at all, my curtains were beautifully ironed. It was just perfect for the job. The price was very reasonable for such a good iron, too, and it arrived in only a few days after I ordered it. I like everything about this iron. It's very smooth, not heavy at all, and it's also colorful, which brightens the mood when you're ironing... not a chore I ever enjoyed until now. I like the retractable cord, too. It's especially handy when the iron is stored. I highly recommend this product.
Ironing made easier! -- 2010-03-06
I am very pleased with my new iron. I previously had a Rowenta, which I purchased about 10 yrs earlier for $85.00 when it started making strange noises and spitting and sputtering I knew it was time for a new one. I really didn't want to spend so much money this time, but I still wanted an excellent product. I searched consumer reports and this one ranked best buy. It pretty much was impossible to find it in the stores except by catalog order. Amazon had the best price, hence it was the logical choice. Now I have a great product for a chore I really, really hate!

Excellent purchase -- 2010-03-09
I am so happy I purchased this iron. I went to a friends house and she had one. After using it one time I knew I wanted to own one. And I am so glad I did. I don't even use starch anymore. This iron makes my shirts look amazing all by itself. I'm not a person that writes reviews but it was a great purchase!!
Great iron! -- 2010-03-08
After reading the reviews on this iron I had some relunctance in purchasing one (heavy, detachable water compartment). However, I love this iron! I do a lot of sewing and I actually iron all my clothes so I use the iron constantly. The heaviness enhances the iron's ability to get all the wrinkles out without a lot of effort on my part. The detachable water compartment is so convenient - just take it to the sink and fill; no more having to take a container of water to the iron and hope you don't spill part of it on the ironing board. I also prefer the stainless soleplate to the teflon coated ones. I would highly recommend this product.

Hate Ironing, Love my iron! -- 2010-03-08
This iron is a breeze! Light weight, fast heating. No cord to drag or catch on the board or the shirt sleeves. Husband likes to use it! Neither one of us avoid ironing or send things to the cleaners to avoid it!
Very satisifed with the purchase -- 2010-03-08
Met all my expectations. Have used it for the past few months. Love the pull out tank that can be filled with ease while the iron is heating up. Also love the cover that you can put while the iron is out. Loved the hassle free packing and shipping from Amazon.

Smooth like butter -- 2010-02-12
This iron glides easily, and the shape cuts my ironing time in half. I'm very pleased.
it stopped working after a week of use -- 2010-02-12
After using it one week it wouldn't turn on. We had to return it to the manufacturer (Panasonic) and after a very long wait they sent us a refurbished unit (we bought a new one, now have a refurbished, great). Other than that, it's doing what it's supposed to do.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST IRON -- PERIOD!! -- 2010-03-06
Panasonic NI-S650TR 1200-Watt Steam Iron with Curved Titanium-Coated Soleplate
This is my second Panasonic with the Titanium-coated soleplate and I love it, It has a different model number but is the same iron I had before with two exceptions -- the other was more expensive; and, on this one, you can't see the water level as well as you could on the other, which can be a problem when you're trying to fill it to the mark shown. When the other went out I looked locally to replace it with the same iron but couldn't find one -- so I bought another brand. Big mistake. I don't like ironing and the other, a Black & Decker, brought misery to a new level. So I went searching on the Internet for the specific model number of the old one. Low and behold, Amazon had it. I was absolutely elated. I believe it only took about 4-5 days to get it. I suspect that those who don't give it 4 or 5 stars hate ironing even more then I do.
great iron -- 2010-03-02
Pros:
1)Reliable - my last iron Panasonic NI-552R lasted 4yrs and I use it on a weekly basis; I have bought other brands Sunbeam and Black & Decker that have lasted only a year.
2)Retractable Cord - cord length adjustable so when ironing cord gets in the way less
3)Temperature Dial - has notches to prevent dial from inadvertently being changed while ironing (corrects problem with the old Panasonic model)
4)Easily Removes Wrinkles - glides easily over clothing on high steam removing wrinkles fast:) (I thought my old model was good, but this model is so much better!!! It takes me half the time to iron shirts, pillow cases, ... over my old model. The steam just seems to penetrate better: I iron one side of a shirt sleeve and now I don't have to iron or I just need to touch up the other side of the sleeve: also I have not had to use the spray feature the high steam is enough to get out the wrinkles; and I find I do not need to apply pressure to the iron like I did with the older model)
5)Anti Calcium System - we have hard water in our home the old model I used had this system and I never had a problem with clogged soleplate vents (with another brand I did have a problem, but I don't remember which brand)
6)Titanium Coating - my old model had this feature and I never had a problem with anything adhering to the sole plate and I use starch which did build up on a different brand - again I do not remember which one - sorry)
6)Value - great price $32
Cons:
Just one - my old model had a light blue water window so the water level indicator could be easily seen. This model has a dark blue water window making it difficult to see the water level indicator especially for this baby boomer with cataracts.

Panasonic 1500 Watt Cordless Iron -- 2010-02-09
I love the cordless feature! So convenient when ironing a quilt top or backing, or curtains or other large items. Also, it can be carried to a smaller ironing mat for quilt piecing and then put back on its base. It stays hot off its base for 5 minutes or more. It heats quickly and reheats quickly when returned to its base. It feels heavy, like a quality iron should. It glides smoothly on its shiny stainless steel baseplate. The burst of steam works real well. The high setting is hot enough to get the wrinkles out of most cottons. The base has a retractable cord and a very nice clip-on plastic cover/case with a carrying handle.
Not-so-good features: it is difficult to set it back in the base as you have to line up the slots, but I think with use I will get better at setting it in the right place the first try. It doesn't steam real well when the tank gets below half. The heat settings are limited to Low, Medium and High. I would like to have settings in between those. It shuts off automatically after 10 minutes if not lifted from the base. I would like that time to be longer.
Great Iron -- 2009-11-28
I bought this iron to replace my old West Bend cordless, which I have owned and loved for many years. The West Bend is no longer available, so after much research I decided on the Panasonic. I am pleased in every way. The cover and the retractable cord make storage easy. The detachable fill chamber is nice. The iron heats well and the sole plate is very smooth, making ironing almost a pleasure. I see that other people have had trouble with the iron maintaining heat, but I have not, probably because I am used to always setting the iron back on the base as I iron. In every way, I am happy with this product.

Used, most likely. Also DANGEROUS. -- 2010-02-16
The package says "You may find some moisture remaining inside the water tank. This is due to our testing of the steam mechanism performed at the factory..." That was OK until I noticed a considerable buildup of scale in the vent holes. Where on earth are they testing these irons if one test is clogging the vent holes? I am not convinced this iron isn't used. Here in Phoenix, AZ, the water is hard and there is no where near the buildup this "new" iron has in comparison to irons I've used over the years. Especially considering my lax discipline in the use of their self-cleaning.
Pondering the price and features, I thought of keeping the iron until I read this on page 11 in the manual: "If the Steam/Dry Selector is not in the Dry position after using, remaining water will move into the Soleplate and damage the Soleplate and may RESULT IN BURNS (emphasis mine) during the next initial use of the iron."
That diddy is step 4 in the "After each use" instruction set, step 3 being "Empty the iron..." So, even if you empty the iron, there may be enough water left in order to burn you later if you forget to move the selector to "dry" EVERY TIME you put up the iron FROM NOW ON!
I've decided to forget this iron instead. I've returned it for a refund. Once again, Five Stars go to Amazon for their near effortless refund protocol!
I also got the used iron! -- 2010-02-03
I got a used iron with water in the spray nozzle, condensation in the reserve and mineral deposits in the steam holes! right out from the box!!
Judging from the other 2 reviewers, they are either selling used irons or the same iron is tossed around.
I returned it, but I'm sure someone else will get it!

A Frustrating Experience -- 2009-06-01
Unfortunately, I had a worst experience on this internet purchase. Vendor was not even able to return the phone calls or the emials and the product was never shipped. Vendor only reacted when a negitive review was written and only then the money was refunded.
I am still not sure what happened on this purchase and why the vendor was not able to ship the item.
Anyhow, it is past and I am glad that it's over.
Cheap but Sophisticated -- 2009-05-22
This is my second Panasonic Iron of the same Model and Type. I loved my first one and would have not replaced it had I not accidentally dropped and broke it. It's very easy to use because it seems like it has a "Brain" of its own. I just put the circle Fabric setting all the way - fill up the water reservoir and 'voila' - I continuously iron all the laundry without regards to the fabric type. For some reasons, it magically detects it and automatically adjusts the iron temperature. I finish up ironing all the laundry in a shorter time because my only duty is to add more water when the indicator is about empty. This iron is very cheap and also light in weight. I like it very much - more than the expensive iron that my wife bought from the store nearby.
