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

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. Other details include a stainless soleplate for smooth gliding, a fabric-select dial, a covered water fill hole, a see-through water reservoir, and drip-free operation even at low temperatures. A complimentary water cup for ease of use in filling the water hole comes included. The iron measures approximately 5-2/7 by 12 by 6-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

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.
