Can the cord be retracted right after use or does the iron have to cool first?

Right after use. When I get down, I retract the cord and let it sit on my counter for probably 10-15 mins then put it away.

Retracted right away, but the retraction is not the best. Already messing up a bit and only used a few times.

I didn't see anything in the instructions that said I had to wait for the iron to cool. I retract it just after shut off and have not had any problems. I have used this iron over a dozen times and it is working great. No problems with cord storage hot or cooled.

I put my flat iron in immediately after I turn it off and haven't had a problem, but a curling iron has a lot of exposed metal so I am not sure I would do that.

Yes. This compact iron gets just as hot as a regular size iron. There is no automatic off on this iron. So to be safe I always unplug it when I am done.

You can partially retract. As you partailly pull the cord out, it stays at the current lenght until you push the retract button. I never pull the cord out entirely.

As stated below, the cord is retractable. I, too, am very pleased with the product. It has great suction and makes minimal noise.

I'm sorry, I didn't like the iron and no longer have it. I just don't remember about the cord.

If it pulls out and doesn't retract, you manually wind it by spinning the bottom of the cover. The cord should retract by putlling and releasing like a yoyo.

What I liked about my old model was the cord detached & could be stored inside. This model is attached, it can not be removed and it comes out the side (under handle).

Yes, the base stays plugged-in all the time you are ironing. I like the fact that you can remove the iron from the base and do a lot of ironing without fighting the cord and then place the iron back on the cradle to heat while you are hanging up your garment. I hope to never go back to a corded iron, I really like the Cordless Panasonic.

not if you mean turning the cable. That's normal because it gives the full turn to when we use the iron cable not have to twist and turn it, especially when we do some curls with the iron. I hope my answer serves you.

I'm not selling. I purchased one and returned it the same week. The cord, where it attaches to the iron, had a contact problem and shorted several times.

No this iron will continue to be hot until you unplug it. Hope this helps &#9786;

It's hard to be exact about this, but if you replace the iron in the base each time you reposition the item you are ironing, the iron stays plenty hot. On a rare occasion, I'll wait a few extra second if I want to be sure the iron is super hot. Small price to pay for ironing cordlessly!

yes. I put my curling irons right in after I shut them off and they are still hot. It is metal so it is fine.

It gets very hot so I would not recommend that. I have never had a burn using the iron normally.

Yes, it needs to be hot to work, but you can unplug it and it will continue to work for a while, when you get close to finishing or where the cord doesn't reach.
