So, you can say I am an iron-man or forced iron-man. I have to wear ironed clothes everyday unlike most others. Given this, iron has an important role to play in my professional life. I tried many many irons over period of time. This NI-C78SR iron is probably the best I used till date.
I like the NI-C78SR iron to be little heavy so that cotton shirts can also be ironed and they look ironed :) this iron is heavy enough but not too heavy - you still have to go to gym. the sole plate looks good. A small complaint - in few days after I bought NI-C78SR Iron there was something stuck on the sole plate, I didn't burn anything, so may be it was due to little burning of iron stand cover. I couldn't remove the burn from the soleplate - like a nonstick pan. But surprisingly enough the iron still glides smoothly - no issue. And I feel that burn is getting dissolved by itself. We'll see after a while.
The other thing I love about this NI-C78SR iron is retractable power cord. its really great and useful. I remember reading a review saying it doesn't matter. To me it matters, I can neatly retract the cord and put iron where ever I want.
Rest, Iron heats p as much as you could imagine. Control knob is good, you can set it based on fabric. Steam is amazing - best steam iron I used till date. the water tank for steam is removable - sometime I feel there should have been an option to fill in iron itself rather than taking tank out - it helps when you are ironing and water finishes. (Although its not advised to refill tank when iron is still hot)
So its a no brainer - in 35$ this iron is worth every penny. It will serve the purpose and serve it well.
