<p>A cordless iron includes a stand and an iron body placed on and detached from the stand. The iron body has a sole plate. The sole plate of the iron body is heated when the iron body is placed on the stand. A temperature sensor senses a temperature of the sole plate of the iron body and outputs a signal representative of the sensed temperature of the sole plate of the iron body. An informing device responsive to the signal outputted from the temperature sensor serves to inform that the sensed temperature drops to or below a reference temperature. The temperature sensor keeps activated when the iron body is detached from the stand.</p>
