"The Cadillac of irons"
This is the best iron, light, doesn't drip all over the place and heats up quickly for those fast touch ups. Water resivoir is a tank that you remove to fill. You can use the iron without the tank to make pockets and sleeves easier. I am very happy with it.

"i'd give it zero, if i could"
i have a corded iron i hate, because it has one temperature--hot. but it still can't handle linen.

i read the reviews on this item carefully. i would love to know what these people are ironing.

i used this iron on a length of muslin. simple, 100% cotton cloth, light weight. the iron spent more time re-heating in the cradle than it did on the fabric. if i used the spray button too often, the iron dribbled, badly. the steam button produced nothing at all. i realized i was pressing so hard that my shoulder hurt. and i still had wrinkles. i finally used the despised corded iron.

i intended to use this iron on my cutting board, which has a pressing cloth sized to it. it would have been perfect for ironing lengths of cloth for piecing and quilting--except that it can't handle muslin.

a complete waste of money.

"Cordless ironing... fantastic"
First of all, why is it cordless and not wireless? Why do I have a cordless iron, wireless network, cordless phone, but also a wireless phone? Hmm.

Anyway, after 20 years of corded ironing, this product is a treat. As other reviewers have said, the lack of cord makes a surprising improvement to the ironing experience. The "dock" is very nicely done; no more effort to use than simply putting the iron down, which is crucial because you do pretty much have to put the iron back in its house every time you would usually simply set a corded iron down to adjust whatever it is you're ironing. A hard-to-use dock would have made this thing useless, but in fact it's great.

It's not *quite* as hot as my last iron (hence only 4 stars) but apart from that I've got no complaints. Does a great job... don't think I'll ever go back to corded/wired irons.

"Maytag Cordless Iron"
I love this iron. I never realized how confining the cord was. I can walk all around the ironing board to get at what I'm ironing. I though setting it back in the cradle while I moved the material around would be a hastle, but it's not. It's not much different than setting the iron on the ironing board.

"The best iron!!"
This iron seems to use just a little electricity to heat up fully within 5 or 6 seconds. It holds its heat for a long time, so if you iron one item and put it back on its base, it doesn't need to pull more energy to heat up again. Also, it's heavy enough for good ironing, yet it's so well-balanced that it doesn't feel heavy. I love the fact that it's cordless -- this makes ironing seem like half the chore it normally feels like, because I don't need to keep repositioning the cord. Also, it can be packed away into its case while it's still hot, so I can touch something up at the last minute before running out to work. I ironed some cotton knits without steam, something most irons can't do well -- this iron did a fantastic job. This means that I can do what the manual says -- remove the water tank so I can get the iron inside shirt cuffs, etc. -- something I haven't been able to do with a modern iron for decades. This iron is my dream iron, and I'm so glad that it was manufactured by a reputable company like Maytag, and that I found it on Amazon.com.
