Panasonic NI-E300TR U-Shape Titanium Soleplate Steam-Dry Iron



Good steam output but doesn't glide smoothly.
I am a working professional who wears button down shirts and slacks for work every day. When I got married my wife made it clear that ironing was not a part of the deal. This was OK with me because I ironed shirts enough that it has become a part of my morning ritual. No, I don't actually like to iron, but with the right equipment it isn't too much of a hassle.

I got this iron to replace a Black & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron that had fallen and broken. We had the B&D for three years and had absolutely no problems with it until gravity took over and ruined everything. When it came to finding a replacement I narrowed my options to the Panasonic U-Shape and purchasing the exact same B&D, but opted to go with the Panasonic for a change of pace. In the end, I think I should have stuck with the tried and true B&D option.

Some positives to the Panasonic are that it heats up...

Great buy!
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...

Soleplate drags
Good steam. Almost no drips (a drop or two). I would have kept it except for one major problem: The soleplate drags on the fabric. Yes, it removed the wrinkles that were in my shirt, but it created its own new wrinkles.
