So far I love this iron.  As a quilter I needed a good iron and believe I found one that stays hot longer and steams great.

I replaced a $90 Rowenta with this iron and am very pleased so far. It is truly a no nonsense classic iron - heavy, glides easily, forms steam quickly, and does not leak. Unlike the Rowenta I returned, it does not have a flashy LED, flashy temperature selection dial or a soleplate with 400 holes, but it works far better than any other iron I have used.

I love this iron! It's been something like 20 years since I've bought an iron. The surface of the one I was using was just worn down, so I wanted to replace it. My how times have changed! I love that you can easily with the push of a button change the fabric type. It holds a good amount of water too. The steam dial is great. The best part though is how fast it heats up and the auto shutoff. I do a lot of quilting and it's nice not to have to turn it off and on between pinning and sewing. If it's shut off by the time I need it again, it's just the push of a button and it's heated back up in 10 seconds. I'm so pleased with this iron!!!

For years I hoped to find the perfect iron. About 3 1/2yrs. ago I took a chance and purchased the D2030 from Amazon for less than $40.00. I iron almost every day, use regular tap water and as a man who has to iron it's a pleasure to use. I tried most brands including the high price and over rated Rowenta and so far none came close. It has plenty of steam and removes wrinkles easily. That's why it's the best iron I ever owned. The price now is sky high but I would consider buying another one if it broke.

So I had a much more expensive iron by a brand that shall remain nameless.  The reason I had to stop using it is that the "auto off" feature stunk.  Every 30 seconds that iron would cut off and you had to shake it to get it to turn back on.

For this iron, it is excellent.  Heats up relatively quickly.  The digital display is straight forward.  And for me most importantly, the auto off feature actually lets you iron and does not cut off so soon.  The steam burst is quite well too.  The water tank has a large capacity.

Very happy so far.

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 LOVE this iron I have been using mine since about March 2006.
Have never had any problems with it, but I fear that it will
go out and I can not replace it since it is not being made anymore.

Love the feature to disable the auto-off, and the wide range of heat
settings, and the long cord.

The constant beeping is annoying, but after 6 yrs I have grown use
to it.

Simply the BEST iron I ever used or owned.

I absolutely love this iron. I have tried various brands and they all leaves streaks on my clothes or the water chambers leak. Great price and fast shipping.

I love this iron.  It is the first iron I have had that actually steams everytime you pick it up.  I don't have to jiggle it to get it to steam; as soon as you pick it up steam comes out.  I have had many irons over the years and so far I think this is the best one I have ever owned.

Good iron. I've been using it for over 3 months now, without any problems.  In the past, I have used Rowenta and the latest was Reliable.  Tired of wasting my money and decided to try this noticeably cheaper iron-figured even if I had to buy 2 of them within a year, I would still be money ahead. The weight is good; abundant steam; no spitting or leaks; easy to fill and easy to clean. It is louder than other irons while using the steam, but it works great! For those of you, like me, who HATE replacing those high dollar irons, give this one a try. It has been a pleasant surprise on how well it performs.

I purchased this based on reviews, price, and because my previous iron which gave great service for many years was a Rowenta. I have used the new one only a few times but I like it very much. It provides plenty of steam, has plenty of steam outlet holes, and has a good feel in my hand.(weight feels right). It did take longer to arrive at my door than expected and a couple of days outside the projected period. For usage, based on minimal experience, I think it is going to be a very good iron.

Nice iron.  Love the double tapered ends.  Heats well and retains the heat well.  Very smooth ironing surface.  A bit smaller than a standard iron which I like because it is much less cumbersome while ironing curves. It will take me a little time to get used to not propping the iron in the usual manner but I don't think That will take long to adjust.

Had purchased this iron 3 months ago. Decided to write a review only after it had been used for a while. It was really a great iron. It is smooth and glides easily through all types of materials. The other thing that i felt was good was the weight of the iron. Especially for denim materials, you would need extra weight to help you with ironing. That being said, the weight is really manageable. Loving it.

Very happy with this iron.  The only thing I don't like is the rubber on the heel of the iron.  Once it's set down, you can't slide it to or away from you.  Other than that, it has a great amount of steam and the tapered front makes it easy to get in between the buttons.  Recommend it highly.

My wife and I love this iron.  It heats quickly and steams profusely (as promised).  Appears bulky but isn't and the weight is perfect for effortless ironing.

This iron is wonderful, it is heavy enough to press out wrinkles but not too heavy to use.  It has very few bells and whistles to break but at the same time does everything an iron needs to do.  It is the perfect no nonsense iron.  I love it!

So far so good with this iron. It is a little heavy, but I think that helps with the pressing. All the vents are a great help in pressing clothing as well as my quilt blocks. I got through about an iron a year, but I hope this one lasts longer. The price on Amazon was good, too.
