Panasonic 360 Degree Iron

Well, I’m not really one for ironing, but after a spectacular ebay haul of embroidered linens, I decided to test the newest iron – the Panasonic 360 Degree Quick-Steam.  I was like a child.  Fascinated by the plate that heated quickly, and the fact that it was teardrop-shaped, I figured that it might be a fun event.  Not only did this marvel in engineering press the linens, and then the shirts, the dresses, and, well, the sheets (I admit it) perfectly, but it actually saved time.  So grab one of these puppies, and tuck the $10 a day you save on nanny time into the kids’ RESP.  ‘nough said.  Oh, and make sure you iron without the kids around, because if they are obsessed with 1) spaceships or 2) ice skating, you will never keep them away.  Good luck, and happy ironing.
