Omaiga Steam Iron
Score: 80/100
Panasonic Cordless Iron
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Panasonic NI-QL1000G is a premium cordless iron offering fast heat-up and strong vertical steam, ideal for detailed quilting and seam work. Its small water tank and need to return to the base for reheating limit continuous ironing sessions. Best suited for crafters who value mobility over long-run capacity.
The Omaiga KB-865-P1 is a high-power 1750 W iron with strong steam output and a ceramic coated soleplate. It misses vertical steaming and a digital display, which limits versatility. Best suited for users who want powerful steam performance at a budget price.
