Opinions on cordless irons

[Ploshkin]

I don't do ironing - max one or two garments but I always have the iron switched on when I'm sewing (sometimes for days if I forget it  )

I have a cheapy supermarket Tefal iron which is ok for sewing purposes but as my space is a bit restricted it frequently takes a dive on to the floor when the cord gets snagged.  I've never thought about a cordless iron until I noticed my mum's ancient Phillips one yesterday, in fact I don't think I knew of their existence.  Reviews seem to be very mixed.  Do any of you have experience of one or a recommendation on what is best to have and best to avoid.

I did have one a few years ago but it lost heat too quickly so I didn't like it. Now I use one of those steam generator irons with a big reservoir to work up a head of steam.

As Tamny says they loose heat quickly.  Fine if you're only using the iron for a quick press/iron, but if there's a long seam or quite a few small pieces to press its annoying constantly putting it back on the base and having to wait for it to reheat.
