This is a really good iron. I wasn't sure about the polished stainless steel sole plate but was amazed to find it to be an upgrade from my old non-stick. Also, I noticed that all the expensive high end irons use stainless sole plates. It heats up very quick and is well balanced and easy to use. I find it to be more stable than my old iron when sitting upright but after breaking the last one from a bump to the ironing board and a fall I purchased a pad and leave it face down. I can't comment on the steam feature as I use a spray bottle. Love the retractable cord it makes it a breeze to store. The cord itself is very long and the retractable feature makes it easy to size it for your particular ironing needs. I noticed that for the most part all the Panasonic irons are rated remarkably well for their price, quality, and features and this so far lives up to the reputation.
***UPDATE***
Ok its been over a month now and I have ironed everything in my house that could possibly be ironed. This is a really good iron. My dress shirts, as always look fantastic and the stainless soul plate and design really makes it easy to get into the tight areas. I even ironed some new bedding I bought for my new bed. It really is good at not pulling at the fabric and with a little help that job was quick and painless. Over this month I have really come to appreciate the retractable cord. It makes putting a warm iron away safe and easy. I no longer have to leave the hot iron on my washing machine until it cools off just to wrap the cord around it (knowing it will come apart and fall off) to put it away. I'm actually glad I broke my last iron.

I read many of the reviews on what a great iron it is
I needed to get another new iron. Checked out a lot & found this Panasonic. I read many of the reviews on what a great iron it is. Well I purchase it, second time using it, it leaks. So pictures. I had it filled below the max line, I only had 3 shirts to iron so didn't need a full tank of water. Plug it in, turn it on, wait until it's ready and this happens. It leaks on my clothing, makes a mess. It's a piece of garbage. Now to return this & search for another iron that does not leak.
