Cheap Panasonic NI-R50NR Steam Iron with Three-Way Auto Shut-Off (Kitchen) Price

In the olden days, an iron was literally just that--a solid piece of iron that was heated in the fire, with a cloth around the handle to keep fingers from being scorched. Thank goodness for technology! Panasonic's NI-R50NR steam iron is a shining example of how technology can improve lives on a day-to-day basis. This compact steam iron is well suited for all the usual ironing tasks, and it also boasts a few less common features. For example, one feature allows for the vertical steaming of drapes or clothes that are hanging. And the three-way automatic shut-off is a thoughtful bit of engineering; if the iron lies on its soleplate or side for one minute, or if it sits on its heel rest for ten minutes, an inner sensor will shut it off. To restart the iron, simply move it again in any way.

A three-level steam button--dry, low, or high--sits next to a spray button, good for stubborn wrinkles, and a jet-of-steam button, for the vertical steaming or a burst of cleansing steam that helps unclog steam vents of mineral residues or buildup from spray starch. A temperature adjustment dial sets the thermostat to a range of temperatures; the various settings are marked with the dots that are commonly found on garment labels. The retractable cord has an automatic reel-in button for when it's time to put the iron away. (To avoid a "whipping" motion while retracting, be sure and hold the cord with one hand while pressing the retract button with the other.) The water reservoir is made of clear blue plastic, so it's easy to tell when it’s getting low, and the soleplate has a nonstick coating for easy gliding over a variety of fabrics.

Before storing iron, empty water and allow iron to cool completely. To clean the iron, wipe the housing of the iron with a soft, damp cloth; do not use scrub brushes, scouring pads, or any harsh, abrasive cleansers. To avoid scratching the nonstick coating on the soleplate, avoid running it over rough or abrasive surfaces such as zippers or metal clothes fasteners. The Panasonic multi-function steam iron measures 5-1/2 by 4-1/4 by 10-1/2 inches and has an 8-foot retractable cord. Panasonic guarantees this iron with a limited one-year warranty. A detailed instruction pamphlet comes with each iron. --Garland Withers
