The Panasonic NI-S300TR has a curved soleplate meant to provide crease-free ironing, a 3 way auto shut off, titanium coating, a rubber grip handle, vertical steam, water level indicator, micro spray, steam setting that is adjustable and a power cord that retracts.
I have had the Panasonic for almost a year now and I love it. We had to replace our last Panasonic iron because it fell off the iron board too many times and finally broke. I have actually dropped this iron a few times and it is still working fine. I really like the way this iron gets the wrinkles out of my cloths. With other irons I would have to hold down for 30 seconds or more to get a wrinkle out. But with this iron I only have to hold it down for a few seconds. And the steam setting is the best. It will steam the wrinkles out of my cloths in no time. I can even steam a dress or pair of pants while they are hanging on the door. The auto shutoff is a life saver. I am prone to leaving the iron on and leaving the house. With five cats running around that could be disastrous. The micro spray is great for those really tough wrinkles. I like to spray a little water on the wrinkle and then go over it with the steam.
On a rare occasion I have had it leek water but I think that is because I filled it too high. And the retractable cord does not go in all the way after a year's worth of use but I can live with that. Over all really love this iron and I am very happy that we bought it. I think this is an awesome iron and I recommend buying it.
