The big advantage of the Panasonic Cordless NI-L46NR Iron is obvious -- you don't have to deal with a cord. In fact, many owners say they will never go back to corded ironing again. The iron does, however, have to be reheated on its base often, and consumers admit that this can be an annoyance, but most say that the convenience outweighs the frustration. The iron also boasts a detachable water tank, making it easy to refill. Most consumers at Amazon.com are quite pleased with the amount of steam that the iron produces. A few, however, point out that it only has six steam vents, which pales in comparison with other irons like the top-rated Rowenta Advancer DZ9080 (*Est. $120), which has 400 vents.
