Title: Love this iron!
Review: After my iron stopped working, I bought this one because I wanted to try out a good quality iron ... even if it meant that I paid a little bit more than I normally would. I really do like this iron, a lot. It's really big ... bitter than I expected; it reminded me of a small missile when I took it out of the box. The iron heats up really fast, so when you are in a rush to get ready in the morning and put off your ironing ... it will definitely meet that criteria. It, also, cools quickly; so when you are ironing various materials, there isn't a long wait period between settings. I really love this because it saves a lot of time. It, also, irons very well and runs smoothly over clothes. My husband has this shirt that is a weird poly blend, with my last iron, even in the lightest setting, it seemed as if the iron would stick to it. This iron glides over the thing so I don't feel as if I'm burning the material. The steam setting is pretty intense ... it varies between light steam and super heavy-duty, you-want-to-give-yourself-a-facial-while-you-iron. For me, the "light" steam is hardly ever used because it seems to give off nothing ... but that may not be the case for everyone. Also, I noted that the heavy duty steam stays consistent even when the iron is almost out of water. Speaking of water, by using the heavier steam setting you burn through water very quickly -- very quickly; even though the water tank is one of the largest I have ever seen on an iron. I have owned this iron for a few months now and the water has never leaked out of the reservoir ... even though some reviewers have complained about that being a problem. There were, also, some complaints about the cover over the water reservoir being cheap .. it's plastic but mine has held up and I am no delicate flower when it comes to stuff that I buy (expect to be dropped when I am in a rush). The one thing I really don't like are the stands at the end of the iron. Because of the plate design, the iron stand legs can be a bit cumbersome when I iron ... I have caught them on shirts a few times when I iron ... and sometimes wish I could hack them off. Also, I don't feel that the unique plate design buys you much other than it makes the iron look really cool.Overall, though, I really, really like this iron; even with the cons I mentioned and would not hesitate to buy it again. I love how smoothly it works over every type of material; how quickly it heats & cools, the steam setting is awesome, and I move through a collection of ironing very quickly.

Title: Great performance, no complaints, other than the Max water fill indicator
Review: This Panasonic NI-W950A steam iron replaces a very, very old Proctor-Silex Lightweight iron which I will not miss. So this review may be jaded because my previous steam iron was so old & so bad, compared to today's modern irons. I chose to spend as much as I did purchasing this iron because I'd saved enough to buy the best that Consumer Reports recommended, and that was this iron.This iron performs so much better than my very old, traditional steam iron: With this iron, I rescued many silk and linen shirts that I'd given up hope of ever unwrinkling.After reading the instructions that came with this steam iron, I tested the iron's capabilities on a shirt that I wouldn't care about damaging, and was surprised to find that I can now wear it, again. This iron's "Jet of steam" button is perfectly positioned near my thumb while using the iron, which makes it very easy to inject steam directly onto very-wrinkled parts of the fabric. It eliminated even very-tough wrinkles from my silk, linen and cotton garments without damaging the fabric. None of the garments I ironed were damaged in any way using this iron's recommended manufacturer's settings. I bought some Protective Ironing Pressing Pads to protect my garments, but with this iron, I didn't need the protective pads, at all. This iron did not damage silk or linen garments when ironed without using the protective pads.This iron heats up very quickly, which is another welcome change from my old steam iron. The Thermostat Operating Indicator Light stays lit while the iron heats up, and goes dark when the iron is ready, which took less than two minutes from cold to ready using the hottest heat & steam setting.This iron's soleplate is a symmetrical "sharp-edged oval" shape, allowing you to go forward and backward, which is great when ironing around & between shirt buttons. The soleplate is made of Alumite, which is apparently resistant to the crud that built up on my old iron. That old iron caused brown stains on garments and had severe drag while cruising along the fabric. This new iron also does not drip water all over the fabric while ironing the way my old one did.The only complaint I have is that this iron's Max water fill indicator is nearly useless. I tried holding the iron upright under a bright lamp, in front of an outdoor window, and with bright natural sunlight behind me, and never could see whether the water level was near Panasonic's Max level recommendation. I finally gave up trying to look for the water's level near the Max indicator, and instead emptied out all water from the iron, and filled the iron using the included 10-oz. measuring cup, which features a clear Max-level indicator. After figuring that out, my experience with this iron was superb. This shortcoming is not enough to make me regret my purchase of this steam iron.This iron also features a Vertical Steam option which I haven't tried, yet. It's intended to let you shoot steam at an upright garment or draperies, which is not something I'll likely do. I'm always going to iron my garments on a flat ironing table.I highly recommend the Panasonic NI-W950A steam iron, though I haven't tried less-expensive modern steam irons to conclude whether they're as adequate as this one.

Title: Overall great iron
Review: I have purchased this iron three times over the course of twelve years (nothing lasts much longer.) It is not too heavy, produces lots of steam and glides smoothly. The temperature control has numerous settings and is quite accurate - even down to the lowest heat. My one and only complaint is that it is VERY difficult to see how much water is in the tank. The "window" is very dark. As a result, I often end up overflowing the tank, which then gets water all over the ironing board.

Title: Happy with this iron
Review: I bought this iron to replace an older one that finally gave out. The configuration of the sole plate is very convenient for sewing projects as well as general ironing. There’s enough steam for my needs, no leaking and the iron is comfortable to hold.
