Detailed Features
Stainless-Steel Soleplate
With a series of round indentations that trap pockets of air between the soleplate and the fabric, the iron glides smoothly and effortlessly.
Nonstick-Coated Soleplate for Easier Ironing
The nonstick coating helps the iron glide smoothly and effortlessly over the fabrics, making the task of ironing a lot more tolerable.
Automatic Retractable Cord Reel
Retract the cord quickly and easily with just a touch of a button.
Auto Shut-Off Remembers to Turn Off the Iron When You Don't
The automatic shut-off system provides you with a visible signal before the iron shuts off. The iron automatically shuts itself off after it has been left on the power base for more than 10 minutes.
Stay-Clean Vents
An anti-calcium system prevents clogged steam vents by reducing the sediment build-up in the vaporizing chamber of the iron.
Easy-to-Fill Water Tank
The detachable water tank can be removed with just the push of a button. You can refill the lightweight cassette water tank anytime during operation simply by detaching it.
Select the Amount of Steam for the Job
The adjustable steam button allows you to select just the right amount of steam required for your ironing needs. Choose regular steam for heavier fabrics or light steam for touch-ups.
Steam or Dry Ironing--You Decide
With the steam/dry selector, you can select to steam or dry iron by simply pushing a button.
2-for-1 with Jet-of-Steam and Self-Cleaning
A powerful burst of steam helps remove stubborn wrinkles when ironing. It also helps clean the steam vents on the soleplate after ironing.
Spray Mist the Wrinkles Away
The spay-mist button helps eliminate stubborn wrinkles by directing extra moisture where necessary.
Vertical Steam
With the push of a button, the vertical-steam feature allows you to direct a burst of steam to curtains or hanging garments.Technical Specifications

Fine iron, affordable price,

This review is from: Panasonic NI-C78SR Steam/Dry Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate (Kitchen)
I bought this iron to replace an old Panasonic iron with a retractable cord.First, I'm absolutely sold on having a retractable cord. Besides the fact that this iron works very well, the retractable cord is the main reason I've stuck with Panasonic. It makes storing the iron so much easier. I leave my ironing board up, in a spare room, and keep the iron (upright) on the board when I'm not using it. I don't have to worry about the cord unwrapping and one of our cats getting a hold of it. The retracting mechanism works very well; it worked quite well on the old one, but they've obviously improved it on this new one. This iron creates a lot of steam, which I like because it easily gets all wrinkles out, even on very creased clothes that you left in the dryer much too long. Besides being usable as a normal steam iron it is usable vertically in steam mode so that you can get wrinkles out of hanging clothes. The removable water tank is also a nice feature. The iron is the right weight (it has some heft but isn't too heavy; or worse, too light). I also like the stainless steel soleplate; I prefer that to a supposedly non-stick surface, which usually isn't. I haven't found anything I don't like about this iron, and the price is right. It works better and has more features than many irons much more expensive.

This review is from: Panasonic NI-C78SR Steam/Dry Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate (Kitchen)
Very nice iron - especially for the price I paid on Amazon.com. Has a removable water tank which makes it easier to fill without making a mess. Nice, very polished stainless steel soleplate which glides easily over clothes. Has an anti-calcium system to prevent buildup caused by hard water which can block the steam system. Another nice feature is the power cord retractor - which works very well.

This review is from: Panasonic NI-C78SR Steam/Dry Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate (Kitchen)
This is a revised review as of September 2009, revised again in September 2011. Originally I gave the iron three stars and came back in September 2009 to revise the review. At the time, Amazon allowed text edits but did not allow changes in star ratings. I advised other customers in September 2009 that I would reduce the star rating to two or one, if I could. Now that Amazon does permit such changes, I have reduced the rating to one star.Here is the text of the review as revised in September 2009: I bought this iron because of the positive reviews, taking into account various issues concerning the detachable water tank. I was initially pleased with the efficiency of the iron -- the heat levels and steam output worked well at first, and I have pretty high standards. I realize that the weight of the iron might contribute to its overall effectiveness, but it's a tad heavy. And it hasn't held up. Heat levels are insufficient, and I have to press the steam surge button constantly to achieve any steam at all. I agree with the reviewer who expressed reservations about the detachable water tank -- seems like it's just another moving part that could get worn out. Have been filling irons from a cup for close to 50 years -- and lately have been using a cup that has a spout on it. I don't see any advantage to messing around with a detachable tank. The biggest drawback to the iron is that the retractable cord (which to me is totally unnecessary, although some might like it) extends from the iron base from the right! Today's irons rarely are designed this way. I'm left-handed, and find myself beating back the cord so it doesn't get in my way. Just for the heck of it, I tried ironing with my right hand, and it's almost as annoying. Panasonic should take into consideration that even in the same household, both right- and left-handed users might need the iron. The retractable cord base isn't very stable, and the iron wobbles when seated on end. Sigh. It's time to go iron shopping again.
