U-shaped design
The Panasonic NI-E250TR has a unique U-shaped soleplate that enhances the circulation of steam and distributes it evenly around the base of the iron.
Non-stick curved soleplate
This Panasonic model has a high-quality titanium soleplate. Titanium conducts heat quickly and evenly ensuring that the soleplate heats up at the same pace around all areas. The titanium also offers a superior glide over all fabrics and for this iron, it is enhanced with nonstick properties. The curved soleplate reduces tugging.
Adjustable steam with dry settings
This model like the Panasonic NI-W810CS allows the user to control the steam output. Tough fabrics with deep creases require a combination of high temperature and a large volume of steam. You will find that you can completely turn off the steam to convert your steam iron into a dry iron.
Shot of mist
This button releases extra moisture in a specific region to help remove tough creases.
Easily refillable water tank with window
Unlike other models like the Rowenta DW5080 which has an opaque water tank with no easy way of monitoring, the Panasonic NI-E250TR has a window which allows easy water level monitoring. Refilling is easy because it has a wide refill port which is easily accessible.
Precise temperature dial
You cannot go wrong with this iron when selecting temperatures; the easy to turn dial allows precision when selecting temperatures. You can be able to adjust temperatures according to the needs of your fabric.
1200 watts of power
This iron gets hot enough to produce decent results. However, at almost the same price range, the Sunbeam GCSBCS-200 comes with 1500 watts of power.
Retractable power cord reel
This is one of the few irons that have easy cord management. The retractable power cord reel prevents entanglement during ironing and reduces storage space when the iron is not in use.
Anti-calc system
With the Panasonic NI-W810CS, you can use regular tap water. This is because it has a built-in anti-calc system that prevents build-up of scale which originates from hard water. This is likely to increase the lifespan of the iron.
