1. Panasonic E250TR
Best Overall Steam Iron
Panasonic Dry and Steam Iron with Alumite Soleplate, Fabric Temperature Dial and Safety Auto Shut Off – 1700 Watt Multi Directional Iron – NI-W950A, Purple
Not only is this steam iron a beautiful, stylish bright green, it has a unique “U” shape design that circulates the steam. The titanium non-stick soleplate concentrates the pressure at the very center of the iron which means less tugging and snagging of your important clothing.
This U-shaped design provides 25% more steam coverage compared to other Panasonic irons. Important safety features include an automatic shut off that activates when left upright and unused for 10 minutes and if it is tipped over onto its side or left on the soleplate (for longer than a minute) it will also automatically shut off.
You’ll know whether the iron is on or not with the Temperature Ready Indicator Light. Other features include Dial Temperature Control, Spray Mist capability when you need extra moisture, an Automatic retractable cord reel that makes storage neat and easy, and an adjustable steam feature that you can adjust according to what material you are ironing. There is also a self-cleaning feature and a Jet or Steam option for cleaning the steam iron and for any time you might need an additional burst of steam for wrinkles that seem to want to hang on.
