Hubby's new iron

I had just bought this iron a month ago. It was an awesome iron until my hubby decided to refill the water. He grabbed a cup beside the bed and filled it. It starting smelling like pancake syrup. My daughter had left her leftover sprite beside the bed in a cup and he put SPRITE in the iron by mistake!!! Yep. Big Dummy! It stunk. I ordered another one to replace is goof!

Impressive steam output, plenty of heat

This iron has a substantial weight, but easy to use. The temperature setting dial is in an awkward location though, not easy to see the numbers. It puts out an amazing amount of steam, even on the medium setting. I did see some reviews that stated it was a used product they received. Both the box and the instructions clearly state that you might see some residual water marks which is expected because of their quality control testing.

I need the steam for my products and my sister has a Rowenta steamer that costs $300+ and my rowenta normal iron just does not s

Amazing~!! inexpensive with A LOT of hot steam! very very steamy. I need the steam for my products and my sister has a Rowenta steamer that costs $300+ and my rowenta normal iron just does not steam as much or that easily, I had to keep pressing the button and it hurt my hand after a while. I read a review on this one about it being very hot and with a lot of steam and then the reviews here, some people dont' like too much steam, I do. I got it, turn it on, put the highest steam setting and it automatically steams with a lot of heat and steam without needing to press the button, but if you do then you have a shot of even more steam. LOVE!!!!!!!

Awesome Iron!!!

I wear white dress shirts with a suit everyday for work. I have struggled with irons staining my shirts as I iron them. This iron hasn't done that to me yet. Opening the box the iron looks well made. It has a nice weight to it and seems sturdier than some of the mostly plastic irons I've had in the past. It heats up quickly stays consistently hot throughout my ironing. I usually try to iron 1-2 weeks worth of shirts for work. The instructions are clear and easy to understand. I was able to set my iron for a good setting for my white shirts. The pour spout for adding water is a nice feature. It makes it really easy to add water without any messes. Speaking of messes, My iron has not leaked or stained my shirt yet. I've had this iron for over two months and haven't had a single problem with it yet. I am extremely happy with this purchase and highly recommend this iron to anyone. Good job black + decker!

Great iron. My whole life I have used cheap ...

Great iron. My whole life I have used cheap irons and never knew what I was missing out on. This iron is cheap in price, but not in quality. So much easier to iron with the steam and heat setting on this. It gets all the wrinkles out so much better and quicker. I don't dry clean any of my work clothes. It has saved $100s in the one year I have already had it.

No more Rowenta for me!

I have been using Rowenta "pro" irons for 15 or 20 years. During that time I've had four of them. Because the Rowentas have a poorly designed water tank. Every one of them would develop a leak while the thing was standing on the board, on the heel. The tanks split because the adhesive fails. Those Rowenta were three times the price of this Black and Decker. The features of this iron are very competitive with my recently-failed Rowenta Pro - identical sole plate size, stainless steel, adjustable steam, nice heft (I prefer a heavier iron), good water capacity, well designed cord strain relief. The Rowenta was 1700 watts. This one is 1600 watts. I just got through my first Shirt Ironing Marathon and the B&D did a super job. Smooth glide, good steam (even on the low setting). The Rowenta has hundreds of steam holes and this has relatively few, but even so this did a great job on my shirts. So now we'll have to see how this one lasts. My last Rowenta is now 5 years old, use it about twice a month, for 12 or 15 shirts at a time. So basically one person.

Nice quality for the price

Very nice iron. Works great. A cleaning tip. I accidentally ironed a delicate material and it kind of melted to the faceplate. So I saturated a folded washcloth with white vinegar and then just sat the cold faceplate on the washcloth, left it for about an hour. Came back and it came off very easily with a non-abrasive scrubby pad.

The best one I have ever used

Fabulous iron! The best one I have ever used! The days of ironing with a spray bottle in one hand are over. It puts out the perfect amount of steam for each setting. It glides smoothly. It feels balanced in hand. It has a large water reservoir. It is not too heavy or too light--just right!. The only cons I can think of are 1)the settings are unclear. They use numbers instead of "cotton, wool, etc.", so that I have to refer to my booklet to know how to set the heat and the steam for each type of fabric. 2) The setting dial is right under the handle so that I frequently move it by mistake with my fingers when I grasp the handle. It's a hassle to have to keep resetting it to the right number.

but surprisingly comfortable. It has a nice grip that allows you ...

This Iron is large, heavy, but surprisingly comfortable. It has a nice grip that allows you to easily control the iron. Plenty of settings that allow you to choose the proper steam and heat for fabrics. It has a nice chart beneath the iron which has recommended setting for fabrics. This creates quite a bit of steam, but you can easily moisten the fabrics if needed. This is surprisingly easy to fill with water too. Allowing you to check the water levels through the transparent blue plastic. This doesn't feel like it will break anytime soon and if I have any problems, I will write a followup. But so far, I completely recommend it. And for the money, it is well worth it.

I have to iron all of my clothes, this is a great iron

Not really sure about what's up with some of the bad reviews? Maybe it's because my Wal-mart iron that I bought years ago finally broke and that is what I was used to. Ironed my clothes in half the time, steam is fantastic, skinny tip on front of iron works great for detailing, feels good in the hand. The only complaint that I read that I understand is the temperature dial is hard to read, but not impossible. I highly recommend.
