A very expensive iron that might be worth it, even for guys
(An iron review from a GUY? Get over it: I was in the military.)
This expensive little item can be thought of as Cordless Iron v2.0, with some real improvements. Unfortunately, Panasonic missed the sweet price point by a factor of two, but if that's not a problem for you, then this might be the best iron out there. It's heavy enough to be effective, yet light enough to be an all-day tool.

However, if you iron, like, one or two shirts a week and want something that looks really cool and don't mind spending the money, then this might...
