So I've officially owned this iron for over a year now and have used it on average once every two weeks to iron anywhere between 5 and 14 shirts at a time (my husband is an entertainer and goes through shirts like water). The Panasonic is still working as steadily as ever - I haven't had any problems with calcified water build up in the unit, the temperature is still great enough to iron and the steam amount is about the same. In terms of durability, I'd give it a solid thumbs up.

There are several things about the Panasonic Iron that I like, but there are a lot more things that I dislike about it. First, the things I did not like about it:
1. The Titanium soleplate: I like the smoothness of polished stainless steel soleplate much more than the titanium. While the titanium plate doesn't stick to the fabric, it doesn't glide as smoothly as stainless steel does.
2. The feel of the Iron: This iron, while light, feels very flimsy to me. It's very plastic, and I get a little nervous standing this iron up on the "tripod of legs" this iron has to accommodate the football shaped soleplate. Also, while ironing, the handle warms up more than other irons.
3. No digital readouts: Ever since owning the Black & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron, I've been spoiled by a digital screen and all the indicators that come with it. The Panasonic has a simple dial to control the temperature and that's about it. The auto shut off is indicated by an orange light.
4. Not a huge amount of steam gets dispensed: In comparison to other irons, this iron does not put out as much steam.
However, there were things that I did like about the Panasonic Iron that would almost justify the cost of this item:
1. Multidirectional soleplate: I loved the multidirectional soleplate. Because there are two "points" to iron with, I was able to get through more shirts quickly.
2. The aesthetic design: The Panasonic Iron looks streamlined and classy, unlike other irons.
3. Long cord: The power cord on this iron is amazing. I was able to iron a distance away from the outlet without tripping.
Overall, the only real reason I would get this iron is for that soleplate. Because there are two "pointed ends" to this iron, I was able to iron much more efficiently. Asides from that, the iron itself is only average.

Ironing no longer has to be considered a tiresome chore thanks to this uniquely designed iron. Equipped with 1500 watts of power, the sleek-looking unit delivers an array of advanced features for safety and exceptional convenience, making it easy to move quickly and efficiently through piles of dress shirts, slacks, napkins, and more.
Innovative Dual-Point Design The iron's scratch-resistant, titanium-coated nonstick soleplate offers a unique elliptical shape for faster results. While conventional straight-backed soleplates may sometimes catch on fabric and actually create creases when moving backwards or side to side, the elliptical-shaped soleplate prevents creasing with points at either end, allowing for smooth, effortless gliding in any direction.
The iron's uniquely designed soleplate not only makes it possible to move backwards without fabric bunching up, but it also eliminates wasted motion (no need for several U-turns) and helps save time--up to 25-percent faster (when compared to conventional corded Panasonic irons). Furthermore, the bottom of the soleplate comes slightly curved to ensure smooth side-to-side movements, and the edge of the soleplate can always be viewed from above, which allows for precise control when ironing pleats, between buttons, and along seams.
The multi-directional iron also supplies 74 steam holes around the entire edge of the soleplate for efficient wrinkle removal, and its generous size quickly covers more surface area in less time--great for larger fabrics like curtains and tablecloths. Faster ironing means less effort required, lower energy costs, and more time to enjoy other activities.
Custom Control The iron provides user-friendly controls that make it exceptionally easy to operate. Turn the temperature-control dial from low to high heat to accommodate anything from acrylic and silk to wool, cotton, or linen. The temperature-selector dial offers words, dots, and steam symbols for quickly identifying the desired amount of heat and/or steam. A single dot on the dial represents a low temperature, while the double and triple dot symbols indicate medium and high heat. Some fabrics come labeled with these dots as a handy reference guide for choosing the proper heat setting when ironing. For added convenience, the iron's jet-of-steam function delivers a powerful burst of steam to help remove stubborn wrinkles when ironing, plus it effectively cleans the steam vents when finished, which helps keep the iron in good working order. The iron also offers a gentler option--the spay-mist button, which delivers extra moisture where needed.
Use the iron on a flat surface for traditional ironing or hold it upright for vertically steaming out wrinkles from curtains or hanging garments--no ironing board required. For added versatility, the iron's adjustable steam button allows for selecting just the right amount of steam for the job. Choose from four steam settings: "high" steam for heavier fabrics, "medium" steam for touch-ups, "low" steam for delicate fabrics, or "dry" for no steam output.
Safety and Convenience
For safe operation and peace of mind, the iron will shut itself off automatically--no need to worry or head back home to double check. Its mercury-free electronic sensor automatically shuts the iron off after 10 minutes if left in the upright position. It will also turn the iron off after 60 seconds if it's left unmoved on its soleplate or tipped over on its side.
Other details include a fatigue-reducing ergonomic design that feels balanced in the hand for ultimate comfort; a transparent water tank with a 6-3/4-ounce capacity; an anti-calcium system that prevents clogged steam vents by reducing the sediment build-up in the vaporizing chamber of the iron; and an anti-drip system that prevents water spotting even at low temperatures. Awarded the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, the 1500-watt iron measures 10-4/5 by 4-7/8 by 5-7/8 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
