Amazon.com Review
Designed to heat up quickly and stay hot, the 1350-watt Black & Decker First Impressions iron is an efficient model with handy everyday functions. Equipped with a nonstick soleplate for easy glide over fabrics, the iron is safe for everything from synthetics to linens. To set the temperature, you use a numbered dial with a pleasant clicking sound in combination with the printed guide on the iron’s heel rest. For challenging jobs, the iron has a spray function to gently dampen garments and a steam function for extra-stubborn wrinkles. The steam setting is variable to accommodate different fabrics and operates in the horizontal or vertical position. Filling the water reservoir is easy with the included measuring cup, though the plug should be handled with care--its attaching tube is rather fine. For safety and peace of mind, the iron includes power indicator lights and automatic shut-off after one hour. Black & Decker also builds in a conveniently long swivel power cord and a full-length button channel. The soleplate of the iron measures 8-3/4 by 4-1/2 inches. --Emily Bedard

6 Months and That's It!3
This product only worked for me for 6 months, also!

The cord does not reel in all the way after the 3rd time.

The iron itself worked pretty well for the time that it worked. Since I was within the 1 year warranty, I had to contact the company, send in the cord and pay for shipping and handling for my replacement item. Did that today, so let's see how long it takes for them to send me the new one.

Keeps me organized and my clothes well pressed!5
This iron is great. My favorite feature is the retractable cord which is really handy - it wraps up nice and neat inside the bottom of the iron. The burst of steam that you can create is nice for those clothes that you don't want to press. Lastly, the iron beeps when it's plugged in but hasn't been moved after about 10 mins. Very helpful when you're doing multiple things and have forgotten to unplug the iron - it's saved me a few times!

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Designed for steaming and pressing clothes during travel, this compact iron also comes in handy at home when its vertical-steam feature can be used for hanging garments and drapes. For pressing, the steam iron has a 4-1/2-inch-long polished soleplate that's perfect for creases, pleats, cuffs, and collars. For steaming, a durable plastic cover slips over the soleplate and includes both a brush for opening fabrics' weaves to help steam penetrate and a lint pad that removes pesky particles before the steam reaches them. The full-range thermostat permits precise adjustment and ensures the proper temperature for all fabrics. A steam-burst button provides extra power for tough wrinkles. The removable tank is transparent for monitoring the water level, and a dual-voltage dial adjusts the iron to either 120- or 240-volt systems so it works worldwide. The iron comes in a rugged, 12-inch-long nylon travel bag. --Fred Brack

What a great and useful product...4
For a long time now I've been looking for this kind of product...as soon as I saw Rowenta Steam N' Press over at Amazon.com I knew I've got to have that one.Although this product is only available for shipping at the U.S. that didn't stop me from buying one. What I did was to let this product shipped to my Aunt's address in L.A. and have her sent it to me here in the Philippines. I've been using this product since last month and so far it's working just fine with my clothes. I could also bring Rowenta Steam N' Press during my travel because it's handy enough. I can just hang my clothes and have it steamed vertically or I can switch it into a flat iron. It's really great! not to mention convenient...It's dual voltage feature makes it flexible and functional wherever I go...I love this product!

Customer Reviews

Still not sure about performance3
I bought this iron and began comparing it to my old $7 Black & Decker Iron and it fell short in a few areas. It's a little weighty, which could be a good thing for pressing out stubborn wrinkles or bad when having to iron a lot. The cord is noticably about 2 foot shorter and heavier. It seems to get in the way more. Although it says anti-drip and no leaking, when I sit the iron down between garment sections it spits water from the soleplate and leaks water back out of the tank onto my hand. The temperature light tends to go on and off often, as though it can't keep warm. Still undecided whether I got a dud.

Continued excellence from Rowenta4
This is our second Rowenta and was purchased to replace one that lasted nearly seven years before the sole plate cracked. (Knocked from the board to the floor.) The price is excellent and the features the same as the previous, more expensive model. Quick heat time, excellent steam features, and a great auto-off. Very well received in our household.

pretty and PINK!!4
i had read on another site how much people regretted purchasing this iron, and for a couple of weeks, i was scared to buy it.. but, today, my loverly mom was shopping with some friends and picked one up for me to try out. and, honestly - tonight - i was almost afraid to try it out -- it had the dreaded auto-shut-off and the retractable cord.. but, i decided that it WAS pink, afterall - and i was willing to make allowances for that. i even made mom open it up, but there it was in all its shiny and pink glory. we just sat and stared at it for a minute.. and then i plugged it in, and started to dry-iron (with a spray bottle of water) a particularly annoying-to-iron-but-lovely-fabric dress. lovely. then, i was trying to press the pieces of a new dress i was working on. the first dress i'd ironed was 100% cotton, and the dress i'm making is some kind of polyester and.. well, the dry ironing just wasn't working. sooo.. i did the one thing that mom has always forbade us to do with her irons over the years.. i poured some (a tiny bit, in case i had to drain it out) water into it and put it on steam. KAAA-POW!! lovely creases, and no wrinkles. honestly, my grandmother ironed and took in laundry all her married life until about two years ago, and her professional iron didn't do a better job! YAY!! i was on a roll, and it steamed my favorite linen work dress as if it were just yawning at the end of a hard day!!! i don't know if the people that had tried this iron before tried the steam option - and if not, i'd give it a second try! :) i would have given it all the stars possible - but i think it should have been pink all over - including the cord.. but, that's just me. :)

Worked great while it worked3
I purchased this iron at a retail store. I was looking for a new iron because I decided not to have my work clothes professionally laundered any more. My wife doesn't iron so it's all me, and I refused to use the 15 year old iron one of us brought into the marriage. Anyway, I was looking at irons, and my daughter went gaga over the pink (breast cancer support) iron. Heck, I don't care what color it is as long as it works well. Right? I'm secure in my manhood! Anyway, it worked circles around the old iron, so I retired oldie but goody in the cabinet. I have used the Sunbeam for about a year now. The other day, I was ironing a new set of curtains I was about to install in the bedroom (Using a drill, hammer and screws. See manhood here?), when about 2/3 of the way through the job, the iron handle became very hot. Now this was the longest time I had used the iron, as I usually only iron one or two garments, two to three times a week, so I thought maybe it was normal. As I finished the curtains, I put the iron on the board, and went to get my shirt I was planning on wearing that day, and came back to find the iron wasn't very hot. I thought maybe the auto shutoff, which by the way always worked like a charm, had kicked in. So I moved it around, and waited. It never heated up again. I ended up getting the 15 year old iron out, now 16 years old, and finishing my shirt. I have tried to plug it in a couple of times since with no luck.

Bottom line, it worked great while it worked. Never leaked, or rusted, or left any white residue, but I figure a [...] iron should last more than a year. Looking at the other reviews, it appears you are gambling when you buy this item.

Classic Style Iron5
I have had this for 1.5 years and it works wonderfully. Doesn't drip, you can clean it and it does a good job. Automatically shuts off if you forget about it. Excellent product. I highly recommend it, but if you are being nostalgic, get it in black.

Better than Rowenta5
I love this iron. I had a Rowenta that didn't do half the job, was three times the price, and committed suicide by jumping off the ironing board. Disgusted, I picked up this little gem and I am delighted. It's light weight, but feels solid. It generates copious amounts of steam, heats up fast, stays on for a decent amount of time (before automatically shutting off), and best of all, is stable on its rear end. The Rowenta kept tipping over, was heartless about shutting itself off, and wasn't nearly as nimble and efficient as this lovely little iron.

Why pay more?

If only the Auto Off would behave4
I purchased the Black and Decker Digital Advantage D1650 when I was searching for the D2030 recommended by Consumer Reports. For the most part, I was happy with the D1650. I have owned several expensive Rowenta models which leaked terribly. The D1650 gave me the heft and comfort of the more expensive irons without the leakage. Unfortunately, the auto off function seems to have a mind of its own. If an ironing session lasts more than an hour, there is no way to stop the iron from turning itself off. I have tried unplugging the iron for several minutes and turning it back on, but after about 3 minutes of ironing, the iron shuts itself off again. There is no way to keep it on. This is not a function of age, the iron has always done this. I have owned this iron about 8 months. I am shopping now for a replacement.

Better than most Ive tried5
I need to iron daily/weekly for my work. Basically Im an iron snob and have used all the brands (except Rowenta, I cant say that), but other quality irons...Tfal, etc. This has been working very strong for half a year now. By this time most start to leak and get fabric stuck on them. This has worked great and the ceramic bottom has worked really well on my clothes without getting things stuck over time. I highly recommend.

Hard to follow a Rowenta3
This iron has some nice features; the lighted dial for heat settings, being able to leave the water in the iron is nice, it`s easy to maneuver. What I miss most is the slippery sole plate the Rowenta had. My Rowenta is more than twenty years old, it was a gem till it started leaking. For the price, the Black and Decker will do just fine

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
Lightweight and ergonomically designed, this state-of-the-art iron makes household ironing chores fast and easy. The unit's Spray Mist system dampens fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases. In addition, its Shot of Steam function provides an extra burst of steam to deeply penetrate and smooth out stubborn wrinkles. Holding the iron in a vertical position allows for using it as a steamer on hanging garments or drapes. For safety and convenience, the iron offers three-way Motion Smart automatic shut-off. With the iron plugged in, the power indicator will light steadily. If the iron gets left in a horizontal position or accidentally tipped over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. If the iron gets left in a vertical position (on its heel rest), the iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. In both scenarios, the power indicator will blink to show that the iron has stopped heating and will continue to blink until the iron gets unplugged or reset. To reset the iron, move it back and forth and allow it to reheat for two minutes. The indicator will stop blinking and the iron will start heating again.

Rowenta IB61005 Precision Ironing Board4
This ironing board is sturdy and the wide ironing surface is superior. The accompanying cover is thick but could be more taut. I'm glad I bought it.

Heavy duty!5
I just received this board. It's larger than it looks. I was surprised at how wide it is. It's about 50% wider than "normal" boards. Almost like you're ironing on a table.

It's super sturdy and the entire unit is made of heavy duty steel so the board is a bit heavy. It's built like a tank so I expect it to last a long time.

sturdy and useful4
I like this ironing board because it sits a little higher which makes ironing somewhat easier. I also like its simple design and resting place for the iron itself.

The beauty of a Rowenta !5
Ever since I had my first Rowenta, I disregarded all those others. There must be something special and it must be the ability to make the pain of ironing easier! Rowentas come in many styles nowadays. I especially like the Burst of Steam button which clearly fixes some creases, especially those accidently made while ironing. The power press model has the Pro Vertical Steam button with a powerful burst for those upright garments. This helps for those outfits that don't need ironing, just getting the kinks out.

Although this boasts a self-clean system, I can only hope it does well, as I have not noticed it yet, but it is designed to flush loose the mineral deposits.

As for the Variable Steam adjustment, there isn't much of a difference in the lower vs. higher shot of steam, buts it's good to know the stream is adequate all around.

I like the large water Tank (8oz) and a clear view it allows. And of course it boasts the Anti-Drip system which prevents spitting and leaking when the thermostat is on a lower setting. This is very important, so you don't have drops of water spewing out unintentionally.

The Anti-Calc System is designed as an integrated cartridge for extended life of the iron. The unit is stainless steel.

So, yes there are good features, and to me, the Rowentas are the best. Iron away!....Rizzo

NOT WORTH THE PRICE TAG1
Over the years, I have owned way less expensive irons which were dropped, knocked over and generally abused. Those irons gave me years of service. Now that I'm married with 2 kids, I thought I would upgrade my choice of iron to the much lauded Rowenta. Big Mistake! The iron peformed well enough for the first couple of years, but suddenly today out of the blue, it quit working on me! This overly expensive iron has been treated with the utmost care. I am the only one who uses it and it has never been dropped or otherwise traumatized. "Ironically", my cheap iron from back in the day was the one I should have stuck with. The other disappointing twist to this is that the iron only has a 1 year warranty (gee, wonder why). I called Customer Service at Rowenta to see if they would stand by their product. The very polite CS rep told me I could ship the iron back for about $30-60 (my expense, of course) and they would "see" if they could fix it! Sometimes you get what you pay for, but sometimes you get taken for a ride. DON'T BUY ROWENTA IF YOU WOULD LIKE YOUR IRON TO WORK FOR MORE THAN A YEAR!

A smooth operator5
One great iron, my clothes look as if they just came from the cleaners, & it was done quick and easy.

Good iron at a premium price.3
I've recently started ironing everything I wear. This made me yearn to ease the job with high end equipment. I bought this steam generator after reading the "professional quality for the home" reviews along with a Rowenta expert ironing board.
After ~10 tanks (which go much faster than I expected) of tap water I can say that this is a VERY good iron and will get your clothes looking good...but not as if they were done at the cleaners. Compared to my girlfriends extreme budget iron I can see a difference...but compared to my Mother's Rowenta iron(non-steam generator type)..I can tell little difference.
I took one star for the high cost and another due to the LONG waiting periods for the "steam generator" to generate steam, about ~10+ minutes when filled completely.
For your average user, save some $ and get a typical iron as it is much more convenient as well.

A good iron with no stinkin' cord5
I really don't like to iron. And I hate appliances/tools in which the cord is always in the way or catching on things. I've gone to great lengths to get cordless everything. I've used 5 or 6 irons in my day, some old, some new, all with cords. I had a nice corded iron that worked well, but fell apart. I've never been enamored with the steam function of any iron I've owned.

Received this iron as a gift from my wife who was tired of me wearing wrinkled clothes. Perfect timing as I had left a load of shirts and slacks in the dryer too long, and I was moping because they were all severely wrinkled, and had been sitting in a laundry basket for a month. Filled the iron with water, plugged it in, set the temp to HIGH, and 2 minutes or so later was ready to go.

It worked great. Very smooth ironing surface and wonderful steam sytem. I set the steam to maximum, and it worked very well. Same with MEDIUM setting on my poly blends; worked great. I accidently ironed a heavy silk shirt on MEDIUM, and no problems, scorches or blemmishes.

And no problem with the iron cooling between visits to the base, which I set on a table behind and right of me, in easy reach. It seemed to take about 15 seconds on the base to fully reheat, based on a slight click that I think was the thermostat shutting the coils off. I tried to measure the cooling over 2 minutes while on HIGH, but the iron was too hot for my BBQ fork to measure, even after 5 minutes off the base; the iron was still producing steam too. That seems hot to me.

But the best thing: no cord. Nothing to catch on things, nothing in the way of where I want to iron, nothing to constantly move. If you don't mind cords, by all means, buy a corded iron. If you don't like them, I'd recommend this iron. I now dislike ironing a little less.

Couldnt ask for better5
I recently bought this for our house as a replacement. I figured somehow it came with batteries and you just kept it on the charger. I was kinda worried about this knowing that some batteries gain a memory after several charges.

The iron is COMPLETELY different. It is cordless BUT you keep it on the dock while the dock in plugged in and it heats the iron for you. No charge no nothing. Instead of setting the traditional iron down while you move your garment around, you place it back on the dock, and it continues to heat it up! It also has a removable water reservoir so you don't have to pour water all over the iron. Perfect for us messy people. Once your done, push the cord back into the dock and place the heat resistant cover back on and BAM! your done. It protects the iron and you so you don't get burned while its cooling off. Great for travel as well. I recommend this for everyone. It was money well spent and heats everything evenly and nice. If anything happens to this one, I'm going to be buying this one again!!

Customer Reviews

Very pleased with this iron!5
I've been using my Panasonic cordless iron for about 6 months now and am entirely pleased with the performance. The iron heats up fast and will keep a high heat for a few minutes until it requires a quick reheating in the base. The steam pressure is surprisingly strong although the water capacity is not large. If you have a lot of ironing you may refill the container more than once - but this is easy since it is removable and doesn't leak when replaced. The convenience of not having the cord in the way far outweighs any limitations this iron may have, such as the small water capacity or the fact that it cannot reheat itself while you are ironing.

People have commented on the iron not keeping its heat long enough. I don't have a problem since I ALWAYS place the iron on the base when I am not actually ironing. This will keep it hot continuously. The technique is you iron until the steam starts to weaken, then set the iron on the base for 20 or 30 seconds while you are turning or adjusting the garment on the ironing board. So it's not necessary to waste time entirely in order to keep the iron hot.

The smooth-gliding stainless steel sole place is a deluxe, durable feature and the iron (as most Panasonic products) is built to last. The plastic cover with carrying handle fits well and securely. Perhaps veteran ironers with years of experience, and who don't get the cords tangled may prefer an old fashioned steam iron. But if the cord always gets in your way and slows you down to the point of irritation, you won't regret spending the price for this iron.

Pricey, but worth it5
After several laundries ruined my custom made dress shirts, I decided to wash/iron my own. I hadn't ironed anything is fifteen years, and dreaded the prospect. However, this Panasonic cordless works so well it is actually tolerable! The design, functionality, packaging and features are excellent. Highly recommended.

Once you go cordless you will never go back!5
I just had a baby! I was worried about him pulling on the cord and the iron landing on him! I look at all the cordless iron and pick this one because of all the thing it does. The cord is in the base not the iron itself. The cord automatic retractable into the base. This is great because you do not need to worry about it being in the way!
The iron has three setting Low, Med, High. On the base it tell you which setting to use for what fabric.
I love the easy to fill water tank! You just push a button, pull out the tank, fill the tank, and slide it back in, there you have it! No more spills! Awesome!!! It has a auto-shut off in 10 min. The iron light will say off when to turn off, with the other irons you can tell if it off until you go to use it. Water go everywhere!!! I also love that this iron does not leak everywhere! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the heat-resistant carrying case! You can put it way still hot, just put the top on and put it way!!! You do not need to worry about burning anything!!!! That is great! You can leave it on the counter with the top on too! I also like that the case transparent the other iron are solid. I like that you can see the iron it looks better to me. This iron is great for travel too! We take it on a trip it works great!!!!
It have a 2-for-1 with Jet-of-Steam and Self-Cleaning too!
On the website it say this: (Stainless Steel Soleplate)
"With a series of round indentations that trap pockets of air between the soleplate and the fabric, the iron glides smoothly and effortlessly."

Has you can see I love this Iron!!!!!
I would say that you need to go by what the base says about what setting to use because, if it is to hot for the fabric it will stick!

Cord is too short3
My complaint with this iron is that it doesn't have a longer cord. Other than that it does a great job. A nice no frills iron.

The Heavyweight Iron Champ5
It's always good to rely on something as STURDY as this iron. The weight adds to the swiftness of ironing the creases of the clothes. You can tell it's manufactured really well once you've received it. The metal plate warms up fast and is definitely made to cater to different types of fabrics.

This definitely falls on my recommended products list.

Amazon.com Review
The power tool pros at Black & Decker venture into the household utility room, lending their expertise to creating functional and dynamic irons for garment care. The Quick Press Iron replaces the S530 model for efficient steam pressing for a range of fabrics. Lightweight, the 1200-watt iron endears itself to users with its soft grip for ergonomic comfort while pressing.

The steam iron features a nonstick soleplate that applies even heat to fabrics while sliding with ease. The iron offers variable steam patterns, including spray mist and steam surge, for effective wrinkle removal. For filling the tank with water, the iron comes with a pouring cup. With a pivoting cord, users maneuver the iron freely. To clean the soleplate, wipe the warm surface gently with a soft cloth and white vinegar, then wipe the vinegar and starch build-up away with a clean damp cloth. Do not use steel wool on the soleplate to protect its nonstick coating. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. The iron weighs 3 pounds upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

For 13 bucks, this iron is a steamin' machine!5
OK, for this price you're getting a relatively small iron. But it's a real iron. Much bigger than a travel iron.

Anyway, I needed a spare iron for quick de-wrinkling sessions at my girlfriend's place. (I live out of a duffle bag when I'm there and she doesn't own an iron!) I own a top-o-the-line B&D iron which I love, so I went for this inexpensive "younger cousin."

Bottom line: I recommend it. Once it gets going (a couple of minutes tops), it really whoooshes out the steam! I fill it up, crank it up, and use it for Dockers and Timberland cotton shirts. The steam blows through so well I only have to do one side! It's a time-saving wrinkle killer!

As for finesse jobs on other fabrics, I couldn't tell you. But for hammering out wrinkles in cotton, it's great. I recommend it and it's so inexpensive, you can't go wrong.

Light Iron does wonderful job!5
I purchased this item based on the reviews. It really is very very light. I was suprised at how quickly its heated up and ready to go and how quickly it cools down and can be easily stored. Its design allows the heated part of the iron not to touch when you set it down and it also acts as a wrap for the cord. The steam is great and powerful. It comes with it's own water pouring cup for steam too. Very satisfied!

Good iron,but3
there is no auto shut-off,there is no off/on control at all,just unplug or plug in.On positive side makes great steam and does have non-stick soleplate.The fabric select dial is very difficult to turn.I got it for my sewing room,it takes care of my needs there,didn't pay much for it,so guess I got what I paid for.(Friday Sale 9.99)

Ok, for the price3
I read the reviews of several more expensive irons, but they all seemed to have one or more fatal flaws and/or be outrageously expensive. This isn't my main iron, just the one in my laundry room, so I wasn't looking to spend tons of money. There are three features that I really don't like, but can live with given the low, low price. (The three problems are: the VERY poor visibility of the water window (mentioned by other reviewers), the settings dial is very small and hard to turn (it would be a truly fatal flaw for anyone with hand/finger strength or dexterity issues - beware!), and (just mentioned by another reviewer) the fact that when the iron's auto-turnoff acts, the only way to get the iron back on is to unplug it and plug it back in. This is not described well in the directions, at all, and I actually replaced the wall outlet before figuring out it was the iron, not a faulty outlet.) This iron heats up fine, though, and steams well...and again, given the low price, it's OK.

Very nice iron, wonders smoothly!5
I recently bought this iron and just love it. My old iron used to take ages with cotton shirts. This one is great, the steam is really effective.

All in a good purchase and great value for money.

Excellent Iron5
This is the best iron I have ever used. The settings are easy to use and are accurate. I love the steam and cloud settings and the light weight of the iron. High kudos!

Black and Decker Digital Evolution 5000 steam iron5
I am embarrassed to say how many irons I have been through in the past two years...and the frustration. I had used a cordless Panasonic for years and it had been a great iron until it died.

Then the quest began. I first started with a lower end Black and Decker Digital Advantage iron, and initially was happy with it. After using it for several months, I had water boiling out of the steam vents, it would spit leaving water spots, and it was impossible to clean it from the inside out, even following directions. I gave up on that one, and then purchased a lower end Rowenta. Not as much spitting, but it didn't get very hot. I then moved onto a Sunbeam that I initially was impressed with...then the water started leaking out of spray nozzle hole!

I was looking for the Black and Decker Digital 2030 per all of the recommendations from Amazon. I couldn't find one in town at all, and being the impatient sort, I purchased this instead. Obviously this is something that is brand new!

So far so good! It heats up incredibly fast, and doesn't feel heavy at all to me. I do like the swivel cord on this versus the store the cord in the base. I just have noticed that those stop working after a while. It beeps when you are ready to use it, and the digital readout is very easy to see. I may have preferred the one with the Ceramic glide sole plate. We shall see.

Pros: Heats up incredibly fast! While ironing, I have to keep my fingers far away so they don't get scorched from the steam coming out! (I am using distilled water because I am no longer following manufacturer's directions saying to use tap water because my water is incredibly hard.)

Digital readout is large and easy to see.

Doesn't feel heavy to me, even when full.

Swivel cord, and the base rest is rubber covered so it grips your ironing board surface. I really like that!

So far, it just glides right over my fabric. I will be using this a lot because of my sewing, so it will be interesting to see if it still feels this way after a few months of use.

Cons: With the "MAX" mark on opaque for the tank, its hard to see, and easy to overfill if you aren't careful. I think the water container that comes with it fills it to the exact spot you need. The plastic cover "flap" for the tank has a bit of flimsy feel to it. It should be fine as long as one doesn't manhandle it.

You do have to push the buttons firmly on the iron to get it to turn on and off.

Overall, I am very, very pleased with this iron. If this model can keep up with the Digital Advantage 2030, I will be pleased as punch. I will update this review in a few months to see if I am still happy with it. I am keeping my fingers crossed!

EXCELLENT IRON5
I was given a high-priced Rowenta Duo Pro as a gift, and it was horrible. I did my research and this Black & Decker was well rated so I coughed up the cash and bought this one for myself. This is a great product, and everything the Rowenta is not.
1. The controls are easy to use, and the steam on/off switch is a nice perk.
2. The digital display is easy to read and results in accurate heat for different fabrics (unlike the Rowenta which was too cool at all settings except when turned all the way on).
3. The steam is a fine mist, not drippy (like the Rowenta).
4. The auto-off feature does not engage too quickly (30 seconds if left down and 8 minutes standing, instead of the random and frequent shut downs of the Rowenta), and is easy to override with the press of a button (instead of dangerous and leaky motion detector tilting and unplugging/plugging back in required by the Rowenta).
5. Finally, it sounds silly, but the comfortable grip and ceramic sole plate just make ironing easier--I didn't realize how hard I had to push on the Rowenta and how the awkward grip took a toll on my wrist until I got the Black & Decker. There is a similar Black & Decker iron that costs a little less, but the grip is not a comfortable and it has a stainless steel plate that just doesn't glide like the ceramic. Pay the extra $10 and get this one--it's well worth it!

light and easy iron5
I had been using a very popular brand iron for the last few years and wasn't happy with it. I had previously owned another Black and Decker iron so after much research I went back to B & D! This is by far the best iron out there. Light and easy to use. I highly recommend it.

iron, Black & Decker 20204
I've used this iron 2 years & am very happy w/ it. I am replacing it before it dies all the way. I like the high wattage for quick heating & rapid removal of wrinkles. The plate surface is large, there are many steam vents, makes the task easier. Self-clean feature works well. Just a tad on the heavy side. About average in being stable set at rest on the ironing board. I like to be able to set the amount of steam. Most irons just offer more steam w/ more heat, but at times I like lighter or heavier steam at various temperatures. I like the large water tank & that it steams well right down to the end of the tank. (Not true of all irons.) I iron about 2 hours a week, & more if I sew. Auto off is a good feature too. I like the "beep" indicating it's up to heat.

I don't like it that it's showing suspicious signs of malfunctioning after 2 years of use. Maybe I use it harder than most households, but things used to last a lot longer. Also the water cap is vulnerable, it broke off its hinge right away, & the plastic around it has cracked. Just an irritation when you try to take care of things, keep them new-looking, but they crash anyway. It's operational, but none the less, broken.

I'm very fussy abt. my iron since I do a lot of ironing. I do like this iron well enough to replace it, & I couldn't find it in local retail stores. So I was glad to find it online for a good price. Maybe if I'm super super careful w/ the water cap on the new one on order, it won't break.

Ironing day is a pleasure....5
Oh, how I hated to give up my faithful and trusty Black and Decker iron that I have used for the past 15 years or so...but we parted after my little iron was starting to wear out.

I ordered the Black and Decker First Impressions 1350-Watt Auto-Off Iron to replace my aging iron. Boy am I glad I did. The First Impressions iron is a dream to use when sewing --- the iron has a large water compartment which means lots of steam. Steam is important to sewing as it helps seams lie flat and is useful for applying no-sew interfacing.

Steam, and a bit of heft, helps with daily ironing. The First Impressions iron does that too. Not to heavy, but heavy enough to make ironing a breeze and not a chore. Within minutes I ironed my cotton dresses, blouses and hubby's dress shirts. Within a half hour my weekly ironing was done and I was not all steamed up as this iron really does the job it's supposed to do.
Great Iron4
We really like this iron. Of the last 2 we have purchased prior, this is by far the best. One of the features we like best is the vertical steam feature for when we change to our winter thermal curtains. It's great for getting the wrinkles out after they've been folded/creased all summer.

Great Iron5
I have owned this iron for almost a year. Really like it. It heats up fast and the temps for each of the fabrics actually work well for those fabrics. Good steam output and the opening to fill it with water actually lets you pour w/o it gurgling air bubles back up - something my old iron did.

Very nice iron for the money!4
Am still getting used to this iron, but so far very good product! Love the "auto shut-off" feature because I always forget to shut it off. And the shot of steam that thing puts out will amaze you. Great iron!

Product review5
Black $ Decker D1700 Digital Edge steam iron is one of the best irons that I have tried. The Ceramic sole plate, is the best ever. It steams and irons like a dream. I would give this iron as a gift to friends and family members. I highly recommend is iron to everyone. It's light weight, and small hand friendly.

Moderately priced, this classic steam-and-dry iron comes unencumbered with bells and whistles but delivers on ironing day with 1100 watts of power and a polished aluminum soleplate that heats up extra hot for pressing away tough wrinkles. The iron operates the old-fashioned way: Press a button on the handle for dry ironing, or pop it up for steam. Fill the water tank through the large hole on the front of the handle. Turn the dial to select temperature, using the large, easy-to-read guide printed on the iron. The iron has a comfortable handle and the soleplate has a button guide. This appliance carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Just like Mom's5
I bought this Classic Black & Decker Iron for my elderly mother a couple of months ago. It is almost exactly like her old black iron I remember from my childhood. The steam button on her old iron was red. This one is an orange color, but other than that, it pretty much looks like her old iron.

This iron also performs like Mom's old iron. The first time she used it, she immediately put the setting on "5" for ironing cotton. She remembered that "6" was too hot for her cotton clothes (with her old iron), even though the iron says "6" is the number for ironing cotton. She was right. I ironed a pair of shorts and it did a very good job.

This iron has not leaked, but it might be a good idea to iron a few strokes on your ironing board or some spare cloth if you use water for steam, to make sure it doesn't spit or leak. But that is only at first, then you should be good to go. The cord is of average length, like the old irons. And like I said above, the iron gets extremely hot on high settings so you might want to put it on the lowest steam setting at first to test it.

I am giving this iron five stars because it is what it says it is - a classic iron. I would rather have an iron like this than any of the weird looking new-fangled irons. Thanks to Black & Decker for bringing back a small part of my childhood, and making my mother happy.

Pefect & Old Fashioned5
I bought this iron after a visit to my in-laws house. My mother-in-law had this ancient iron and I was actually scared to use it but it did a fast and fabulous job. The weight of the iron helped press all the wrinkles out. My mom-in-law said she could not find this iron anywhere to replace her old one and refused to buy one of the newer more flimsy models.I finally found this one and bought one for myself and after LOVING it, I bought one for my mom-in-law too! She loves it too because not only is it heavy it is also has a steaming feature that works great.

Good price, decent iron4
I recently bought this iron for more in a department store. It seems to work just fine. The only negative is that there is no gage where you can check how much water there is. The water didn't have trouble going in, though (or coming out) and it is an attactive iron indeed.

Best Iron Ever!!!5
I have gone through numerous irons and purchased a model from this line several years ago. LOVED IT. Had to buy a new one and could not find exact same model but this one seems to be the same, just newer. We have been using it for about a month and it is even better. We iron daily and I sew. Was making drapes when old one quit working. It is the best.

Now, the flip side is that you almost cannot see the water filling and have to be careful. They could design that much better. And, for some reason, it took Amazon forever to ship this item. But I would not have any other iron and it is worth the wait.

So Far So Good4
This seems to be a pretty nice iron for the price. Nice pointed end to get in those tight corners, heats up fast, nice steam action and the retracting cord is definitely a plus. I just wonder how long it will hold up. So far it's a pretty nice item.

Why is Ironing Still Necessary?4
Bought this iron, the reviews were good. I've only used it a couple of times. It definitely gets the wrinkles out and I like the steam button. I've been very careful of the plastic cap on the water fill area as some said it broke easily. It was heavier than I thought it would be as someone had said it was light. However I had a Black and Decker Light and Easy before and it was very light. I had that for years but the new ones did not have great reviews. So far I am happy with the purchase.

Go full steam ahead on tough ironing chores with this 1,500-watt iron from Rowenta. A cord-reel mechanism retracts the power cord at the touch of a button. A large 8-1/2-ounce, transparent water tank means fewer refills and a clear view of water level, so there's no running out of steam in the middle of a job. A newly designed stainless steel soleplate ensures a smooth glide and corrosion resistance. The soleplate's profiled tip with holes carries steam to the edge of the iron for better results in tight areas such as inseams. The DX1900 comes with an anti-drip function that works by delaying steam production until the iron is at just the right temperature. An anti-calcium mechanism protects prevents lime and scale build up for long lasting steam performance. For safety, Rowenta designed this iron with a 3-way "smart" auto-off switch that automatically turns off the iron in 8 minutes if left vertically, 30 seconds if left horizontally, and 30 seconds if tipped over. Plus, the unit is equipped with a comfort handle and soft touch grips for non-slip grip and ironing. Brian Olson

Reliability?3
This iron is great... when it works. I loved mine but it broke within two weeks. It stopped heating up at all. I was extremely disappointed since I thought I was buying a high-quality iron. Rowenta did replace the iron at no cost; however, it took three weeks which is a long time to be without an iron. I really hope my new one keeps working because it is a great iron that heats up fast and makes ALOT of steam.

Awesome! Definitely the best iron around!5
If you're looking for a heavy grade professional iron that will glide over your clothes knocking out all your wrinkles, this is the iron. This iron has reduced my ironing time by at least 30-40%. The easy gliding ability of this iron topped with it's ability to smooth out those wrinkles in usually one pass without constant pressure or repeated passes over the same area make this a true pleasure to use. The only one area of concern that seems to bother others but didn't concern me is the power cord is fairly heavy grade, making is different from probably your current iron, however it hasn't presented any obstacles for me.

Hefty iron, sturdy power cord5
I had previously owned a Rowenta P2 commercial iron, which appeared to be an early incarnation of the 890DM. There were reports of the power cord going bad due to the design, and I think that's how my P2 died. The iron would suddenly stop heating, sometime a whack on the bottom would bring it back, but it was very unpredicatable. An internal fraying of the power cord connector would explain this behavior: no current draw to the heating elements.

With the 890DM Rowenta appeared to have fixed this, evident by the thicker power cord that so many people complained about. It is a hefty cord, about 9-10mm in diameter, more like a computer power cable than your typical household appliance power cord. It still connects at the base of the handle through a flexible plastic tubing that keeps the cord straight up and away from the handle. I have not found this cable to be a nuisance in ironing, and if this design change prevents an early Rowenta death, I'm all for it.

Everything else is as excellent as ever, Rowenta owners can atest to this. The DM890 weighs nearly 5 lbs., making it efforless to glide and not have to press down. Inox steel prevents bottom stickage, the handle steam control buttons are well-designed. It heats up fast and can get really really hot at 1750W. In the $90 - $100 price range this is one of the most expensive irons you can buy. The only thing I had before my P2 was a small Black & Decker, so I don't have extensive experience to compare. I can say that once I've owned a Rowenta, that's it, I'll never go back to buying anything else, even if my old P2 did die early.

This is a Great Iron5
The steam produced by this iron doesn't leave anything to be desired. I really like the features and the quality of this appliancve. The steam feature is excellent for all fabrics and it goes fast where you have to easily refill it for any large amount of ironing at one time. A really "Professional" Professional Iron. You will not be sorry if you purchased one.

Great compact steamer.4
I think this machine is great. First off, it's nice and compact. Your able to hide the power cord underneath the base of the unit, the hose easily wraps around the top portion and the head of the steamer slides into place so it's not dangling off the unit. Included in the box is a storage bag for your attachments, so you don't lose them. I used this just last night to steam a sueded slip cover for a couch that's been in a bag for over 2 years and it worked like a dream, it took out every wrinkle. It heated up very quickly and produced enough steam to get out any wrinkle. It did get a tad hot around the head of the steamer if you kept your hand there too long, also it makes a gurgling noise as it heats up, but that dissipates after it's up and running. Other than that, it's a great item. I would totally buy another one. If I may dispense some advice (I worked in retail for several years and worked with professional steamers on a daily basis. If you have light garments like silks, cover the steamer head with a knee hi or stocking to protect the garment from oversteaming whatever elements are in the water and always steam from the inside of your garment - never on the outside. Rowenta is a really good name and usually produce good quality items. I almost didn't buy this because of some of the reviews. I guess you take a chance on everything you buy.

Customer Reviews

A Great Steam Generator and Iron !!5
I had read all about the problems of the Rowenta 5030 series Steam Generator. it seems that the Rowenta Engineers read the complaints, too. The 8030 Unit is their answer. A superb Generator where the water level is visible, easy to fill and re-fill, much lighter in weight than my old Rowenta Professional Iron and, boy, does it pour out the steam! It sits easily on my older ironing board, has a 12 foot electrical cord and a 6 foot elect./steam line attaching the iron to the generator. It has a very short wait time to began ironing/steaming and the clothing comes out pressed as if done at a local dry cleaning place. I love the unit and highly recommend it to anyone who hates to iron. This unit will put a smile on your face.

Works well but not worth the $?3
I ordered the expert version, since there were so many issues with the 5030. It works well - heats up really quickly, you can see water level and it has a warning light on water level anyway. You can also refill without having to wait for the iron to cool. The long cords are handy. This was my first experience with a steam generator iron and honestly, while it works fine, it is/was a lot of money and doesn't seem all that much of an improvement over a conventional steam iron. The vertical steaming doesn't work too well. After holding the trigger for a few seconds, the amount of steam drops off significantly - not really enough for efficient vertical steaming.

Feel like a pro at home5
First off, I wouldn't even consider using this iron with one of the flimsy supermarket ironing boards....something like the Rowenta IB6300 is much more in order, (it also has a shelf to place the reservoir, very handy).

Now on to the actual review. We've only had this iron for a couple of weeks, if I experience any nasty longevity issues, I'll be sure to address them with updates to this review.

Wow, this iron/steam generator is making ironing less of a chore. We'd previously owned the Rowenta Perfect and Advancer irons, both of which my wife sent on one way trips to a hardwood floor, (while the floor survived with large gouges, the irons, unfortunately, did not). After being spoiled with the Rowenta brand, and needing a replacement, we opted for the DG8030.

This thing is pricey! If I didn't require a large amount of clothes ironed, I'd be more tempted to just take everything to the cleaners. We bit the bullet and haven't looked back since. Ironing creases used to take time and a determined effort. Now it's just a quick pull on the steam button, and you're in business. Need to iron out or adjust a crease? Too easy! I can't vouch for using this vertical with drapes/blinds, but for uniforms and dress clothes, I haven't seen better. Combined with a quality ironing board, (as mentioned above), I've cut down my ironing time by more than half.

I especially liked the large reservoir and the fact that you can refill it without waiting for the iron to cool down. If you iron often and can manage the price tag, this is it.

Customer Reviews

Looking for a professional iron, this is the one5
I am a professional seamstress, handweaver and I iron fabric off and on all day, every day, five days a week.
I have bought many irons in my 30 years in business. And have paid large sums of money for some of them.
This iron is the best all around iron on the market today. I don't say that lightly either. It does pull more power with it's heavy duty electric cord, I expect my electric bill will go up slightly now that I use this exclusively on my fabrics..... But the finished product is so much nicer and I get the professional finish I want to have on my handwovens. The added cost is worth the finished product.

Best one yet...5
I quilt and sew daily and use this iron constantly. It is remarkable. Steam when and where I want it and in the quantity I need. I've had several expensive irons, but none came close to this one. And - no annoying "auto shut-off" when I don't want/expect it. The large size water tank is a benefit too.

Amazon.com Review
Serious quilters and sewing professionals know the benefits of having a high-quality iron, especially one with an extra-large water tank that needs refilling less often. Made in Germany with comfort and technology hand in hand, the Rowenta features a soft-grip handle, ideal for this large, heavier-weight iron; a transparent 12.7-ounce water tank with a sliding cover over the fill hole and anti-drip system; and a burst of steam that lasts longer and is forcibly shot into stubborn fabric wrinkles. The iron’s soleplate is polished stainless steel that will never chip or peel. Other functions include spray, variable steam, and steam-free ironing, as well as vertical ironing for drapes.

Safety is a high priority for Rowenta. This iron shuts off automatically under three different circumstances: after eight minutes of standing vertically without use, and after 30 seconds if left flat on the soleplate or if it has toppled over on its side. A lift or gentle shake reactivates the iron and a light comes on indicating the iron is in use. The iron also features a flexible cord mount for easy maneuverability and an anti-slip frame for stability. Rowenta covers the iron with a one-year warranty. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

I think this is a fabulous iron...5
I have to admit before buying this iron I had the same old clanking cheesy iron I had used for 10 years ...that is when I used it. I usually just rewashed something rather than dragging that awful iron out....

It felt odd buying such an expensive iron (and I paid $10 more than amazon is charging) when I wasnt sure I would use it but I knew there had to be a better way... I have had it for six months and have had no mechanical issues. I see there are reviews with some various issues - I guess every single mechanical item has some individual lemons that come off the line ...it happens. Also unhappy customers are much more likely to voice their opinions that satisfied ones...

First let me say that yes, its heavier than cheaper irons but I think this actually helps 'press' out the wrinkles and pushing it back and forth isnt an issue for me with the weight - and I am not bench pressing it. However, if you need a light iron because you have minimal hand strength this wouldnt be a good choice. It holds a boat-load of water so you aren't filling it all the time. I just LOVE that. You can vary the steam and there is an auto-clean feature using the steam. The iron is also meant to use tap water, not anything special...

I have to say I iron now - and unlike my last iron where I would have to make pass after pass to get out a wrinkle, with this iron usually one pass is enough on regular weight clothes so ironing is actually quicker.

Rowenta is a very good quality name and a long standing company known for great irons... will every single iron come off the assembly line absolute perfection? probably not but I feel sure it is the individual iron and not the whole line because I think this has been a trouble free and great iron.

I love my new Rowenta iron! 5
This is my third Rowenta iron and each one is more improved than the last. What I love about the DX-8800 is the larger water tank and the weight of the iron. I use steam a lot and hardly have to fill up the tank. The heaviness of it makes ironing easier. I also like that it has a strong burst of steam and the vertical steam option. The cost of it is higher than most, but I feel is well worth it. I hope to use it for many years to come. I would strongly recommend this iron to anyone.

Amazon.com Product Description
Lightweight and stylishly designed, this household iron produces steam without dripping, spitting, or leaking, even at low temperatures. The unit's Spray Mist system dampens fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases.

Holding the iron in a vertical position allows for using it as a steamer on hanging garments or drapes.

For safety and convenience, the iron offers Motion Smart automatic shut-off. With the iron plugged in, the power indicator will light steadily. If the iron gets left in a horizontal position or accidentally tipped over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. If the iron gets left in a vertical position (on its heel rest), the iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. In both scenarios, the power indicator will blink to show that the iron has stopped heating and will continue to blink until the iron gets unplugged or reset. To reset the iron, move it back and forth and allow it to reheat for two minutes. Other details include a stainless soleplate for smooth gliding, a temperature-adjustment slide bar, a steam lever with choice of steam levels, an extra-long 12-foot cord, a self-clean button that removes minerals inside the iron for longer lasting steam performance, and a storage strip indicator that tells users when it's safe to put the iron away. The iron measures 11-3/8 by 4-5/8 by 5-3/4 inches.

Just okay...3
We've had this iron for about a year and I am looking for something new because it just doesn't perform very well. It is very lightweight (I'd prefer something a little heavier) and doesn't seem to get hot enough for most of my ironing tasks. The steam does work well and I haven't had many leaks.

What a Bargain!5
I was looking for an inexpensive iron to use while away at school. I am very particular about my ironing, so I wanted something good. I looked at irons in the $30-$50 range but decided to give this one a chance.
It's fantastic. Don't be fooled by it's light weight. It works almost as well as a professional iron.

I have only had it a week, so I will try and update this review after I've had it for some months.

Iron wasn't what picture shows3
The iron is light and handle works perfect for me, but do not like the fact that I have to unplug the iron everytime I finish using it.
I use for quilting and am always ironing, so hence once you do shut it off, it doesn't go off, have to unplug it. And of course it is not what the picture shows at all.

Amazon.com Product Description
Stylishly designed, this household iron produces steam without dripping, spitting, or leaking, even at low temperatures. The unit's Spray Mist system dampens fabric to aid in removing wrinkles from heavy fabrics and for setting creases. In addition, its Shot of Steam function provides an extra burst of steam to deeply penetrate and smooth out stubborn wrinkles. For safety, the iron offers three-way Motion Smart automatic shut-off. With the iron plugged in, the power indicator will light steadily. If the iron gets left in a horizontal position or accidentally tipped over, it will automatically stop heating after 30 seconds. If the iron gets left in a vertical position (on its heel rest), the iron will automatically turn off after 15 minutes. In both scenarios, the power indicator will blink to show that the iron has stopped heating and will continue to blink until the iron gets unplugged or reset. To reset the iron, move it back and forth and allow it to reheat for two minutes. Other details include a nonstick soleplate for smooth gliding, simple thumb-tip controls on top of the iron, a Soft Touch grip for comfort, and a self-clean function for longer lasting steam performance. A complimentary water cup for ease of use in filling the water hole comes included. The iron measures approximately 12 by 5 by 6 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Does a Real Man iron?4
Well, I'm here to testify that this Real Man does ironing - mainly because my wife lets me. As a matter of fact, it's one of my regular chores every weekend after doing the laundry.

When the power cord of our previous iron began to demonstrate a disconcerting hotness at its point of attachment to the device, my wife, alarmed at the prospect of my imminent electrocution, thought it time to toss it in favor of this SUNBEAM STEAM MASTER MODEL 4211, purchased with an agreeably small amount of my money only two days ago. I'm a lucky fella to be on the receiving end of such thoughtful consideration.

Weighing in at roughly 1.75 lbs, the Sunbeam is heavier than the last, a vintage Black & Decker. But since I've taken up working out in the Y's gym on weekends - after the Honey-Do list is completed, of course - I'll soon be able to lift it without grunting too much. The Teflon soleplate glides easily over clothing, mostly my cheap cotton and cotton/polyester blend shirts, though not with the same slipperiness as the old iron. (I don't understand why that should be. Maybe the fabrics have gotten too worn over the years.) The hole for the water reservoir is perhaps a bit small to pour into accurately, especially if you're dizzy from chore-induced fatigue, but Sunbeam thoughtfully provides a nifty plastic cup with a pointy spout, the 8-ounce capacity of which charges the reservoir to the "max fill" line. The heat and steam controls with little, protruding knobs are especially easy to finger manage even with digits worked to the bone. The "spray mist" and "shot of steam" buttons are large and prominent - perhaps too much so as even gripping the handle with my not-large hands accidently tripped the former button a couple of times, resulting in a spritz of water that'll one day scare the cat if she gets too close to the action. The power cord, reinforced at the end which attaches to the iron itself, enters the device through a swiveling do-hickey (the technical term), a feature that'll likely prevent the hot wire that doomed its predecessor. There's a "Motion Smart" Auto Off Indicator that ostensibly blinks when the iron is plugged in and in a horizontal position for 30 seconds, or 15 minutes upright. I timed the shorter interval with a stopwatch - 31 seconds on my unit. Someday, I may have the opportunity to benefit from and verify the longer if I pass out during a particularly strenuous stint at the board.

Finally, the restful aqua green color of the iron's upper body doesn't clash with my apron.

Now, you Neanderthal macho studs that think I'm a 21st Century Sensitive Male wimp, consider this. My wife is happy doing the outdoor gardening chores that I despise. So, while she (and you) are outside getting hot, sweaty, and filthy, I'm inside the air conditioned house and, while admittedly doing the sissy ironing, am watching the ball game on the tube - or maybe the film adaptation of a Jane Austen novel. Of course, there's enough room on the ironing board to balance a longneck - or perhaps my favorite yogurt smoothie. And occasionally, when my wife comes in and begs to press a garment or two, I say "No thanks, sweetie." Yup, this SUNBEAM STEAM MASTER fits in well with my lifestyle.

P.S. 9-11-06: Almost 17 months after writing the original review, I'm still as pleased with this iron now as I was back then. And, contrary to more recent reports, it doesn't leak!

Classic Style Iron5
I have had this for 1.5 years and it works wonderfully. Doesn't drip, you can clean it and it does a good job. Automatically shuts off if you forget about it. Excellent product. I highly recommend it, but if you are being nostalgic, get it in black.

Better than Rowenta5
I love this iron. I had a Rowenta that didn't do half the job, was three times the price, and committed suicide by jumping off the ironing board. Disgusted, I picked up this little gem and I am delighted. It's light weight, but feels solid. It generates copious amounts of steam, heats up fast, stays on for a decent amount of time (before automatically shutting off), and best of all, is stable on its rear end. The Rowenta kept tipping over, was heartless about shutting itself off, and wasn't nearly as nimble and efficient as this lovely little iron.

Why pay more?

Changes a Chore into just a Quick Step in Getting Ready for the Day5
I hadn't bought a steam iron in fifteen years. I gave mine away before moving to China in 2002 and upon returning to America in 2005 I needed to buy a new one. In the past I would choose an iron based on a nice hefty weight, simplicity, traditional appearance, presence of a safety switch, and a good brand name. I was more than a little confused to find the featherweights with Jetson-like appearances and retractable cords available on the store shelves. Even after reading all of the boxes and comparing the floor-models I just didn't feel confident on the way home with my new purchase.
I have been extremely happy over the past year with my Sunbeam Steam Master Iron. I'm a big steam guy and really like that this model has a huge water tank. No more refilling halfway through the project. The iron heats up very quickly and even though it's very light it stays uniformly hot and has a good substantial feel in my hand. The controls are all at the top of the handle and easily accessible by my thumb while operating. The no stick surface has been great. I had had some bad luck with a no stick surface in the past; but this one has really been great. The only feature that I don't like is the retractable cord; so I fold the cord and stick it through the handle when I'm done using it. The few times that I've become distracted, walked away while ironing and then bolted back into the bedroom expecting to find it ablaze; I've been relieved to see the amber light blinking on the handle telling me that it has shut itself off. All things considered, this has been a great product. Show me one that will iron clothes without me and I'll switch.

finally, a good iron5
i've bought several irons in the last few years, looking for one that actually takes creases out of cloth. when the least worthless finally broke, i read through the reviews here on amazon, crossed my fingers, and ordered.

so far, i really like this iron. i was a bit concerned that it was so lightweight (i know many people complain about a heavy iron, but weight really does make ironing easier and faster), but, once the water tank is filled, the iron has a nice useful heft. there's a good amount of steam on even moderately hot settings; the shot of steam is steam and not a dribble of water; the spray mist covers a good area of cloth. and, most importantly, the iron actually removes creases and wrinkles! even on my linen blends--and does so with only one or two passes! i got my ironing done in half the time it took me with my old iron (a supposedly good brand).

the temperature contol dial being on top of the iron was the deciding factor in my purchase, and it's wonderful. i don't know why there aren't more models designed this way (when i'm especially annoyed with an appliance, i wonder if domestic appliances aren't deliberately designed to be awkward and inefficient because women are more likely to use them--but of course, that's silly). filling the iron is much simpler and faster than any other iron i've owned, since the opening into the tank is large and free of blockages.

even the rather blunt nose hasn't been the problem i thought it might be, it gets into seams and cuffs just fine.

i was prepared to spend much more than i did, which is yet another reason to like this iron.

if you cringe at the idea of spending more than $150 dollars for a good iron (or even $50), you'll love this one.

Good Quality and Features for the Price4
I chose this model to replace my refurbished Rowenta that could not be repaired for less than the price of a new one. The Rowenta had lots of little annoying problems, so I decided to try a different brand, and I'm glad I did. This iron has all the same features as the Rowenta and more, and it doesn't have the problems the Rowenta had. I sew, so I need a powerful steam function and it delivers. The steam reservoir has a large opening that is so easy to fill. I don't know why other models don't have this feature that saves so much time and mess. The retractable cord is nice, and the iron is heavy, which is a plus. Why would you want some lightweight iron that you have to press on to get wrinkles out? This just glides over wrinkles without added effort. This model is every bit as good as the Rowenta for much less money. The only disappointment is that it is not dripless as stated. It drips LESS, but it's not dripless. I'd recommend it, though.

Good for 1 year3
I bought this iron just about a year ago, probably a little under a year, used it every day, and it was great until last week. The vertical steam function was nice, as was the adjustable steam level. A while ago the cord reel function stopped working well; the reel would only retract about half the cord and just stop. This was inconvenient, especially since one of the selling points is a retractable cord, but not enough to make me go looking for a new iron. Last week out of nowhere the steam function stopped working altogether (vertical, horizontal, various heat/steam settings, etc), so I'm had to use a 4-year old B&D which, while not as nice, worked. This was a nice iron, but even though it was relatively cheap it should have lasted more than a year.

Good iron for the price4
This is a great iron for the price. It does a great job getting the wrinkles out and I use it all the time. The only complaint that I have is that the retractable cord doesn't work well. I have to mash the button several times and sometimes force the cord in part way to make it work. I am a little irritated about that because it was a feature that I was excited about. But the overall job of the iron outweighs that one defect in my opinion. If you have $80 in your budget for an iron, I would get a Rowenta, but if you can only spend $30 (or $24 with a Bed Bath & Beyond 20% off coupon) this is the iron to get.

Iron is good but design is poor.3
I have used Sunbeam irons in the past and have had good use from them. The Shot of Steam is the feature that must be in any iron I use and that is why I purchased this model. The retractable cord was not a consideration and now that I have it, I don't like it. It does not retract fully.

In most irons the sole plate covers almost all of the bottom surface. In this iron it does not because of the retractable cord housing. When I iron I apply pressure with the heel of my hand and it usually is over the center of the soleplate. In this iron it is at the very bottom of the soleplate or not over the soleplate at all. This is a very awkward design and not very efficient.

I would not buy this iron again or recommend it to anyone.

Customer Reviews

I never thought I'd enjoy ironing.5
Wow, this is a great little appliance! I've had mine now for a little over a month and love it. The first time I got it out, after finishing the recent laundry, I was pulling more clothes out of the closet just to continue using it. (I know, I couldn't believe it myself).

The Sunbeam Professional iron is a nice weight, making ironing a much smoother and less labor-intensive task than my old, lighter weight cheapo model. At risk of sounding like a commercial, the clothes almost iron themselves. My model has the Teflon soleplate and so far, I see no problems with it. Having had to deal with my previous iron melting (ACK!) fabrics and the residue sticking to the plate, this was one of my concerns when doing research prior to making a purchase. My Sunbeam glides effortlessly over anything I've ironed to date.

I was intrigued with the idea of digital controls, as well as unsure of quite what to expect. They are simple to use, with just a + or - light-touch button to move up or down to select the fabric you intend to iron. My one complaint so far is that this menu is somewhat small and difficult to see, at least for my 50+ year old eyes. A lighted display would help.

I like the steam this iron puts out. A handy lever allows you to select light or heavy steam, spray mist, or dry ironing. It also has a burst of steam button, and a cleaning button. If you follow the directions, allowing it to heat adequately before ironing, it does not drip. I've not had an opportunity to use the vertical steam option but with the stellar horizontal performance of the iron, would assume it to be satisfactory, at least.

A complimentary plastic cup to fill the reservoir is included, and works quite well. Impatience results in spilling, as one might expect. The see-through plastic reservoir is a nice feature I did not realize how much I would appreciate.

In summary, short of having someone else do your ironing, the Sunbeam Professional Iron makes the task of ironing a pleasure. I highly recommend it, as well as Amazon as a vendor. I've never been disappointed with anything I've purchased through Amazon. Contrarily, I've been pleasantly surprised with the fast shipping and customer satisfaction concern. I really appreciate the customer reviews when doing my research as well. I hope this one helps!

March '07- Still lovin' it! We travel rather frequently and my husband has commented about how poor the irons are in the hotels in comparison...so you MUST KNOW it has to be impressive! (smile) He doesn't iron as much as I do but can definitely appreciate quality.

Great iron!5
I had another iron that did not have automatic shut off, which I did not like at all, so I ordered this one. I think it is a very good deal for the price. It steams very well and does a good job of ironing. Also, it has not, so far, got a "film" or residue on the soleplate of the iron, as my previous one did. It heats up very quickly and has a light to indicate when it is ready. The cord does not get in the way, as with other irons I have had.

Rowenta DX1700 Effective Iron

2009-08-12T23:53:00.001-07:00

Product Description

Brand new from Rowenta!!! Designed and developed in Germany, the new DX1700 Effective Iron offers brand new features and improved performance, design and quality. The new features include: 1600 watts of power for a more powerful steam output and better temperature control; larger 8.5 ounce transparent water tank to allow for fewer refills and a clear view of water level; a new AIRGLIDE stainless steel soleplate for better glide and smoother results. The soleplate's profiled tip with holes carries steam to the edge of the iron for better results in hard to reach areas. Comes with an anti-drip function to stop steam production when the iron is not at the proper steam producing temperature. Also has anti calc - a built in protection from lime and scale build up to help maintain long lasting steam performance; 3 way "smart" auto-off switch to turn off the iron in 8 minutes if left vertically, 30seconds if left horizontally, and 30 seconds if tipped over. Includes comfort handle soft touch grips for non-slip grip and ironing.

Amazon.com Product Description
For steam treatment on silk scarves, linen tablecloths, wool slacks, and more, Rowenta presents their Effective Steam Iron. The 1600-watt iron adapts for vertical use on curtains and long, hanging garments. The iron's translucent water reserve holds 8-1/2 ounces of water for conversion into steam bursts, mists and other steam patterns.

The steam iron features a polished stainless-steel soleplate that provides even heat to fabrics. Channeled steam holes along the soleplate ensure smooth movement. Steam holes in the soleplate's profile tip assist in ironing around buttons and in pleats. A soft covered handle resists slipping with ergonomic comfort. A special indicator monitors the tap water levels in the iron's anti-drip tank. After use, the iron cleans itself by flushing out any mineral or impure deposits collected through the ironing process, preventing calc build-up. For home safety, Rowenta designed the steam iron with three different automatic shutoff functions. The steam iron shuts down after 30 seconds resting horizontally, or if knocked over. If left idle sitting safely on its heel rest, the iron arrests power after 8 minutes to prevent overheating and wasted electricity. As with any electrical appliance, read the enclosed warnings and safety guidelines prior to use. The Germany-made iron benefits from a one-year limited warranty. The iron measures 11.9 by 6.6 by 5.6 inches and 55 ounces upon shipping.

Customer Reviews

A wonderful product...
I was a little nervous about the posts that gigged this particular Rowenta iron.. my lightweight Black & Decker has been with me awhile, and although it does a "decent" job of ironing it was a hassle in terms of the number of steam vents and the amount of time I had to spend on items to get them really looking decent. Because of the few lukewarm reviews on the $49 Rowena DX1700 iron, I decided to purchase it from my local Target (same price) because if it didn't out-perform my current iron, I was definitely planning to return it. Amazon is great in that respect.. being able to print a label, etc., but it meant a trip 4 cold blocks to the Post Office, and waiting for a credit to my account, etc. Target, on the other hand, is a short bus ride away and could instantly reverse the purchase.

I am really surprised! Honestly, this iron is phenomenal.. I don't do this kind of stuff for a living, so those of you who quilt/sew/press on a regular basis may have different standards; but because this so effortlessly took out wrinkles without any "pushing", I decided to do my whole wardrobe, which includes, by the way, a number of lightweight, 100% linen jackets. I couldn't believe my eyes.. there was a post about having to refill the water chamber more than once, but just isn't an issue for me as long as the job gets done fast and well.

If some of the stuff you love to wear is sitting in your sack of un-ironed favorites, and you don't wear it often because you can only wear it once before it needs another "iron-job", for pity's sake, order this guy. In a very small way, it will CHANGE one aspect of your life. I really can't say that much about most purchases!

As good as it gets
This rowenta is the best. I have had a Rowenta for years and it finally died on me.(after 20 years) Needless to say this new one outshines the old one. Lighter and irons like a dream.

FABULOUS
I just got though ironing 5 pairs of linen slacks. I was going to bring them to the dry cleaners to press becuase I couldn't get the wrinkles out to wear to work. I dreaded spending the money on that. I figured I would give the iron a shot. In one second I flet the difference, I had a beautiful professional looking crease, with one swipe on linen and with steam. I gave the pockets and xtra burst of steam, and I was done, like a handkerchief, I didn't want to stop, and I hate to iron. You can not go wrong with this item.

Makes Ironing a Breeze
I just got this iron yesterday at Linens & Things using their standard 20% coupon you find all the time in the newspaper. I tried it out on a cotton shirt and got the job down about five times faster than usual, less work, and no wrinkles. The shirt looked like I got it back from the cleaners. I also have an Elna ironpress, which also saves time, but I think I will prefer using the Rowenta steam iron since it steams the material while you iron it, and it can get into more nooks and crannies. Note to Rowenta Engineers -- it would be nice if the water tank had a level indicator to let you know how much water is in it. This would help when you fill it so as to prevent overfilling. Another option would be a removable water tank you could take over to the sink to fill. Also, if this is a typical high quality Rowenta product, why only a one-year warranty? Why not five or ten years?

An Absolute Must
If you enjoy hotel-quality,crisp linen pillow cases and duvet covers, then this iron is an absolute must. I was able to iron a king size cotton duvet cover in about 5 minutes. This task used to take at least 30 minutes with my Rowenta Professional Iron. Washable silk blouses were steamed perfectly and washable linen shirts and pants looked like new. I highly recommend this iron. I agree with other reviewers who say that a water table would be nice, this way you can refill before heating up the water.

Terrific Iron
This is the best iron I have ever used. It literally irons in half the time compared to my old Black and Decker. I am a seamster and have seen an improvement in my work since I began setting stitches and pressing seams with the Advancer Iron. The burst of steam feature knocks out tough wrinkles and is really helpful with stubborn seams. It is not heavy, but it is heavier than my previous irons, so it really makes pressing fabric easy. The narrow tip is a great feature! It fits like a dream in trouble places. I used it while constructing a coat and the narrow tip allowed access to the most difficult areas.

The one down side is the automatic shut off feature. It will shut off in 8 minutes if left vertically, in 30 seconds if left on its soleplate. I would prefer if this feature were optional.

The Advancer is formulated to work with tap water, not distilled. But for those of us with an excess of organic matter in our tap water, the tap water may be diluted with 50% bottled water (per the instructions) for excellent results.

Rowenta DZ 9080
This iron is a technological marvel. I have just had it for a few days and I have ironed some very difficult, over 100 year, heirloom open-embroidered linen. It was a breeze and the results were truly professional. The controlls are easy to use, the steam settings excellent. It just glides over those diffucult spots. It may be a little pricey, but it is worth every penny.

This is an ideal tool for anyone who sews on home fabrics. The upright steam feature is a plus. I was concerned about the weight, but the iron glides so effortlesly that you do not notice the weight.

Customer Reviews

A steam machine
I like to use a lot of steam when I iron, and the Focus comes up to temperature fast and makes great evenly distributed steam. The automatic steam function works pretty well and is easy to use, but I tend to ad a bit more as much because it makes ironing more fun as any useful reason.
This iron did a spectacular job on my more delicate silk shirts as well as making quick work of rumpled kahkis.
The heat seems more evenly distributed than the Black and Decker i was using, and everything about the steam is superior.
The narrow tip makes the area around buttons noticably easier.
The ONLY issues I have with the Focus is that it doesn't have an on/off button (it does have a great three way auto off feature which I tested to verify for safetys sake). It sometimes draws an arc when plugging and unplugging it which can be hard on outlets after extended use.
It also will drip a little durring longer sessions of use.
Overall very highly recomended.

My first ever review of an appliance...
I've never been prompted to write a review of any product that I've purchased over the years, but the Rowenta Focus iron has changed all that. After 50-plus years of ironing, I think I've tried every iron on the market. And I've been dissatisfied with them all. My latest, a Black and Decker, remained on the same setting (the hottest), because it was NEVER hot enough. I wear a lot of cotton and linen, which, of course, means a lot of wrinkles. I've misted and starched (when appropriate) ahead of time, all to no avail. I was just about ready to go back to an all polyester wardrobe when I asked a tailor in my hometown to recommend a good iron. Without hesitation, she said, "Rowenta". So I read all the reviews I could find, and decided to take the plunge.

WOW!!! First of all, with my old Black and Decker, I'd have to iron a sleeve or panel of fabric in three or four passes. But with the Rowenta, it only took one pass to remove the wrinkles, even on linen. I quickly realized that my ironing time would be cut in half! And the narrow tip for getting inbetween buttons is genius-inspired. And the STEAM!!! For those who've said it consumes a lot of water, well---duh?? It TAKES a lot of water to produce that much steam.

If you've had it, as I did, with poorly fuctioning equipment, treat yourself to this product. You may just find yourself having a love affair with an appliance. What a joy!!

Heavy, but
I find the iron a little heavy, because of my arthritic thumb, wrist. But it irons beautifully, and I suspect that is partly because of its weight! Best steaming system I've ever had, and the design of the tip is great around buttons and tight corners.

Customer Reviews

GREAT IRON!
I have had this iron for over 2 years and I LOVE IT! It heats up very quickly, does a great job ironing , has a detachable water chamber for steam, and no cord to get in the way! After 2 years of almost every day use the plate is still perfectly clean and ironing is (almost) a pleasure :)

Ironing is my obsession!!
Well, not my obsession but, I do iron everything that I wear. My wife isn't the one that does it...I do. Anyway, I am a perfectionist and have been searching for the best iron. Well, I have found it in the Panasonic NI-L46NR. First of all cordless is the only way to go. I got my first cordless iron a couple of years ago as a present from my sister and thought this is great and it was for about 2 months, then it started leaking terribly and I tried to deal with it for awhile and finally couldn't take it anymore so into the trash can it went. I went back to a corded iron and was satified with it but that darn cord kept getting in the way. My search began again and found the Panasonic NI-L46NR read a bunch of reviews and thought this is the one. It was very reasonably priced and so I ordered it online thru Amazon.com. I received it within a week after ordering it and couldn't wait to crank it up and see if it was really as good as all of the reviews. It was and it still is!! It heats up very quickly and get extremly hot which in my opinion is one of the big factors in quality ironing. The steam function is the best I have ever used...costant steam when wanted, super powerful steam bursts with a touch of a button. The unit is very light and extremely functional. Cords be gone..Thank you Panasonic!!!

Great Little Iron
This is a great little iron. Very lightweight but irons like a pro. Heats and reheats quickly. The shot of steam function is powerful and I love not having to mess with a cord. I use this iron both for clothing and when quilting. Highly recommended.

Customer Reviews

Nice Iron!
So far I've used this on pattern paper and several different types of fabric. It has a nice weight that you can allow to do most of the work for you, and it has a wonderful grip. It is fairly easy to fill the tank, and if you use a 3/4 cup measure to do it, you'll be just under Max - the tank is just over 6 oz.

It glides beautifully over my fabric, though I had to be a little careful with the paper, since this iron is fairly well weighted. It has both a spray button and a steam button, and a simple switch between dry, some steam, lots of steam.

The retractable cord is a wonderful thing and works very well. Blessed thing to have when there are curious animals that like to chew on cords or anything string-like. Makes for neat storage, too!

Heats quickly, and reheats quickly if it has shut itself off. It gives you 10 minutes if it is in the upright position, so that is plenty fine.

I love this iron!

At last, I hope
This is my 3rd iron in 6 months. I have had this iron for about 1 1/2 months so I am still waiting to see if it holds up. So far so good. My first iron was a B&D Digital2030 iron. Lasted 4 months and quit. Handle got hot and iron would turn on to Setting 1 after it was turned off. 2nd iron was a Shark brand. Didn't work from day one. Would only turn on if you unplugged the cord and then replugged. Returned that. So far, this iron is performing great. For a 1200watt iron it produced a lot of steam even without pushing the burst of steam button. I iron all my husband's work/dress shirts and need an iron that is adequate for cotton. The titanium coated soleplate is nice, but I do prefer SS. The tip of the iron is the best I have had so far. It is quite pointed and really gets into tight spaces. I sew quite a lot and this is great for pressing out corners. I purchased the titanium soleplate because of fusibles that I work with and need to be able to remove it. So far so good. The retractable cord is a nice feature although my iron is up and ready all the time. The cord c/b a little longer, but is probably limited because it is retractable. It does work nicely. The base of the iron is not too heavy (as it looks)and stands on the base really well. For the steam it produces, the amount of water it uses is remarkable. You don't need to fill it constantly, and it is fairly easy to fill. Didn't see the need for a removable water resevoir. A word of caution though - the iron needs to go thru several sessions to remove whatever is inside it. There was a slight fragrance the first few times I used it and it did deposit an oily (?)spot which came out easily on my white shirts. It did go away and now is fine. All in all, I recommend this iron. If it doesn't hold up I will come back and update my review. I do not recommend DIGITAL IRONS. I don't think the technology is there yet especially if you sew and leave your iron on a lot.

Great Iron for fusible
Selected for it's titanium soleplate which cleans easily if you get fusible web fused onto it instead of fabric or the ironing board cover. Nice and light weight. Turns itself off, but reheats quickly.

Customer Reviews

Great iron
Very nice iron - especially for the price I paid on Amazon.com. Has a removable water tank which makes it easier to fill without making a mess. Nice, very polished stainless steel soleplate which glides easily over clothes. Has an anti-calcium system to prevent buildup caused by hard water which can block the steam system. Another nice feature is the power cord retractor - which works very well.

Effective but heavy, and not for left-handers!
At the moment I have three cheap, tired old irons on my laundry-room countertop. I am about to get rid of them. I bought this one, the Panasonic NI-78SR, because of the positive reviews, taking into account various issues concerning the detachable water tank.

I am very pleased with the efficiency of the iron -- the heat levels and steam output work very well, and I have pretty high standards. I realize that the weight of the iron might contribute to its overall effectiveness, but it's a tad heavy.

I agree with the reviewer who expressed reservations about the detachable water tank -- seems like it's just another moving part that could get worn out. Have been filling irons from a cup for close to 50 years -- and lately have been using one that has a spout on it. I don't see any advantage to messing around with a detachable tank.

The biggest drawback to the iron is that the retractable cord (which to me is totally unnecessary, although some might like it) extends from the iron base from the right! Today's irons rarely are designed this way. I'm left-handed, and find myself beating back the cord so it doesn't get in my way. Just for the heck of it, I tried ironing with my right hand, and it's almost as annoying. Panasonic should take into consideration that even in the same household, both right- and left-handed users might need the iron.

The retractable cord base isn't very stable, and the iron wobbles when seated on end.

Fine iron, affordable price
I bought this iron to replace an old Panasonic iron with a retractable cord.

First, I'm absolutely sold on having a retractable cord. Besides the fact that this iron works very well, the retractable cord is the main reason I've stuck with Panasonic. It makes storing the iron so much easier. I leave my ironing board up, in a spare room, and keep the iron (upright) on the board when I'm not using it. I don't have to worry about the cord unwrapping and one of our cats getting a hold of it. The retracting mechanism works very well; it worked quite well on the old one, but they've obviously improved it on this new one.

This iron creates a lot of steam, which I like because it easily gets all wrinkles out, even on very creased clothes that you left in the dryer much too long. Besides being usable as a normal steam iron it is usable vertically in steam mode so that you can get wrinkles out of hanging clothes.

The removable water tank is also a nice feature. The iron is the right weight (it has some heft but isn't too heavy; or worse, too light). I also like the stainless steel soleplate; I prefer that to a supposedly non-stick surface, which usually isn't.

I haven't found anything I don't like about this iron, and the price is right. It works better and has more features than many irons much more expensive.

Incredible Iron!
Black & Decker D6000 All Temp Digital Steam Iron, Blue

I bought this D6000 iron direct from Black & Decker, and I have to say, I'm most amazed. For the past 10 years I was using a Black & Decker model...but the steam didn't really come out anymore, and I was using a lot of "Magic Sizing" on my shirts to get them to iron well.

Originally, I bought a Shark as a replacement, but didn't even get it out of the box before reading the horrific reviews. It went back, and I got this.

WOW! No Magic Sizing needed and my ironing time is a third of what it used to be. Yup, you really can have steam at all settings. A lot of steam comes out with the steaming option on, and you get a heck of a lot more with the "steam burst" feature. The fact that you can clean all the mineral build up in the steam vents is great. The digital functions make it foolproof to iron. Read the tag, set the temp setting.

I also do large format photography, and I make albumen prints. I thought the vertical steam function would be perfect for steaming my paper, a necessary step in the process. I wasn't too sold on that (it worked, but be careful of the hot steam), but found that just using the regular steam function without touching the paper was fine.

The auto off feature proved useful when my wife irons. =) Oh, and the fact that she now irons her clothes is a real testament to how great this iron is!!!!

Couple cons: Filling the water tank isn't all that easy - would have been nice if it came with some sort of cup or funnel. Also, the tank empties quickly. But I'd prefer that over an iron where less steam comes out any day.

Do not go for the cheaper, crappy irons. This is the real deal. You won't be disappointed!

A real time saver.
I despise ironing with a passion. I've owned several irons, some of them fairly expensive, and this is the first one that can properly iron a shirt pane or collar in one pass, which considerably reduces the amount of time and effort it takes to do the job.

The D6000 weighs 4 lbs, which is quite heavy but probably explains why it does such a good job; it glides effortlessly over most materials.
Unlike most other irons where you set the temperature using a mechanical dial, the D6000 features a fancy blue backlit LCD control panel displaying all the settings (steam, temperature, fabric type...) in an easy to read, large font. The steam is abundant and constant regardless of the temperature setting as advertised, a very useful feature. Of course, the flipside is that you get to fill up the water tank more often, which fortunately is a snap thanks to the large fill port: hold the iron horizontally, open the fill port and put under the water faucet.

A "vertical steam" mode lets you steam hanging clothes and drapes (I have not had a chance to use this feature)
The manufacturer states that the iron does not need to be emptied after each use. The self cleaning feature should be used once a month to insure proper descaling.

The D6000 is easy to use and almost reconciled me with the ironing chore. By cutting my ironing time in half, it has more than earned its five stars.

Heavier is better
The Black & Decker D6000 Digital Iron is by far one of the best irons I have ever owned. Besides the modern design and LCD capabilities, the iron's heavy weight makes it easier for the iron to move over the fabrics. It smoothly glides in an effortless motion. I was a little concerned about the rounded tip since I am use to iron having the pointed end, but I have to admit it did not really make a difference. I was able to iron collars easily, hitting every inch of material including the corners.

The steam option is unbelievable. It shoots a forceful abundance of steam that can tackle and "flatten" any wrinkle. Filling the water reservoir is a little awkward but I figured the design might be based on the LCD display and you are less likely to short the circuit board on the iron (this is just a guess). The handle has a good grip and is comfortable to hold. The control buttons are easy to push and conveniently placed. The 360 degree swivel cord is great because you will be less likely to get the cord tangled on yourself because you have to keep moving from side-to-side. However, I wish the cord was a bit longer.

Overall I really recommend this iron. It will allow you to iron faster with less effort.

Customer Reviews

Excellent iron with a few flaws.
Pros:
- Flattens clothes in one pass.
- Excellent temperature control
- Sturdy construction.
- Smooth gliding ceramic sole plate.
- Nice rubber grip.

Cons:
- Awkward water filling.
- Must reset temp after unplugging.
- Not as stable in the upright position as the old T-Fal.
- No built in A/C unit to cool the user.

After a week of use my wife and I are very impressed with this iron as it seems to press clothing in just one pass compared to our 2 year old T-Fal.
As this is the first review I will explain a little about how this almost totally electronic iron works. After you plug it in you press the rubberized button to the left of the head until you reach your desired temperature. The temperature number, 1- 7, along with the type of fabric it is for appears in the window at the top of the head. Pressing the button to the right of the head lowers the temperature. The iron heats quickly and gives a soft beep when it is at the correct temperature. The steam feature is activated by pressing the rubberized button just below the window and an indicator flashes in the window. The steam works very well and of course there is a burst of steam button and a spray button on the top. The burst of steam button is on the right and the spray on the left which is backwards to me but I got used to it pretty quickly. The ceramic sole plate glides over clothing but if you have your temperature set too high for the material it will begin to stick, unlike the Teflon sole plate on the T-Fal which glided over everything at any temperature. This is probably a good thing as it keeps you from scorching your clothes. The rubberized grip is very positive and you have good control over the iron.
The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the water fill system. The iron must be filled in the horizontal position which means that you can't set it down to fill it without burning something. Also, the gray color of the water tank is very aesthetically pleasing but it makes it hard to see the water level in the tank and the full mark is meant to be read with the iron in the horizontal position instead of sitting on its tail. Unplugging it and taking it to the sink is the easiest way to fill it but when you plug it back in you must reset your temperature and steam settings again which is another annoyance that makes me knock it a bit.
Overall it is a good and sturdy iron which has already taken a fall to the floor and is no worse for the wear. Perhaps the 2030 with its mechanical settings and digital readout, as well as a vertical fill water tank, might have been a less annoying alternative but I think that we will be happy with this for years to come.

easy to use!
We replaced a Rowenta iron that had great steam but leaked like a sieve and had electrical cord issues after only a couple of years of use. This iron works well, good steam, good heft and really fast warm up times. The snub nosed end is not as pointy as I'm used to to get in small areas or around buttons but not a big issue. Works great for the price, especially after what we spent on the Rowenta. Some of the electronic symbols are cryptic and we went a couple weeks not realizing the steam wasn't on because the button and the symbol really didn't tell you much.

Nice iron
I got this product after returning a sunbeam iron which was dripping. This one is nice to use although I have to agree with the person who said it has an awkward water filling system. Anything else is great. It`s worth the price.

Customer Reviews

Better than Rowenta! Hands down!
I have owned Kenmore Irons, and a top line Rowenta that was recently dropped - replaced by this B&D model. It holds more water than others, there is no gimicky controls - very basic - press the button for the right textile setting and go. The sole plate is smooth - steam is powerful. I iron all my jeans - most come out of the dryer with hard creases - this iron presses them all out. Delicate items - poly and blends - no melting! My old Rowenta melted everthing it touched - and then the $15 cleaning kit was a hassel with Rowenta - not to mention all the spitting from the steam holes. Black and Decker has made a fantastic iron that well worth the money! Don't hesitate - just buy it.

Outstanding Value
This will be a short and sweet review. As a guy I hate ironing, but find it necessary to keep the work shirts and pants looking good. This iron heats up very quickly, glides easily and has an incredible shot of steam that would please Tim Allen, "Argh, argh, argh". My sisters $120+ Rowenta has nothing on this baby.
