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.

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.

I love this iron! Ironing is not my favorite chore but this makes it much more torable and easy to use. I previously owned a Rowenta and prefer the BLACK & DECKER. It glides beautifully, doesn't spit out water like the Rowenta, which is so over rated. I'm so happy with my new purchase! You won't be disappointed.

I replaced my VERY old iron with the Black & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron, so I am comparing my new iron to a twenty year old iron. However, the D2030 can iron in less than half the time as my old iron. I don't even need starch. The steamer works GREAT with a variable steam dial to select the right amount of steam. It also has a spray function. This iron is very simple to use and I am very pleased with this purchase. I would recommend this product.

After 2yrs my Euro-Pro died a very nasty death melted the cover and padding. So after a long and hard search, reading reviews not only at Amazon but other sites as well I decided on this Black & Decker. I love this iron, it's got a good weight,great steam,a window that lights up to let you know it's ready to use.
All of the reviews I've read all said the same thing how happy they are with the purchase and I too am glad I bought it.

UPDATE;2/21/07
Well it's been several months now since I bought the iron and it is still going strong. I'm very happy with the purchase. Heats up quickly, no leaking of any kind, I keep my steam setting on the highest so I do refill it several times a week and have not had any problem with the cover breaking. After paying so much for several Rowentas what a great feeling to finally find a great item and at an even better price.

I love this iron. It is the first iron I have had that actually steams everytime you pick it up. I don't have to jiggle it to get it to steam; as soon as you pick it up steam comes out. I have had many irons over the years and so far I think this is the best one I have ever owned.

We live in the Deep South where cotton is king. I iron ALOT. I have probably used up half a dozen irons over the 30 years of my marriage. My last one was a Black and Decker iron, and it was a good one. (I didn't realize it, but it was slowly fading away. What a difference a new one has made!) But THIS one! It is the best I have ever used.

First and foremost, it doesn't spit water all over the item being ironed. (It has a well cover. Close it and you're dry.) It is the one and only one I have had that I could say this about, so it has cut my ironing time way down.

I love the digital display, which I didn't think I would. You know what you are doing at all times. And every setting seems to be perfect for its type fabric. It cuts off automatically, and NO, mine is not hot when it goes off. Also, if you catch it shortly after it cuts off and begin to use it again, it comes on again automatically at the last setting you were using: a great feature for crafters and quilters.

I also like it that it beeps when it is up to the right temperature. (And that's very fast!)

It is a little heavy, but it glides so smoothly, even though it is not teflon coated, that I don't mind the heft.

I shopped like mad before I bought this iron, because, let's face it, ironing is a chore and the right tool makes a big difference. I read Consumer Reports and all the reviews on Amazon. I am one hundred percent happy with this iron! I wholeheartedly agree with the other reviewer: buy THIS iron. You won't be sorry! (By the way, I have found that a small television in the laundry room, and learning to iron sitting down makes it a whole lot more bearable!)

I do a lot of ironing and have always had to use spray starch to get my clothes looking the way I want them to.

I bought this iron 2 months ago and have not picked up a can of spray starch since. It is a great iron!!

I love the steam feature, the auto off feature, the cord placement (doesn't drag over your clothes) and I really like the thing that you use to fill the water tank.

Again.... I say it is a GREAT iron!!

I just received this iron and I'm very impressed. It makes the chore of ironing fun and fast! The iron gets very hot if needed for jeans, and there is a lot of steam! It comes with a special styled plastic cup for filling the iron with water which makes it easy. The digital control is easy to set for cotton, rayon, polyester blends, etc. I like the feature that beeps so you know it's at the right temperature. It takes the guesswork out of which setting you should use for the fabric type. I had a Rowenta which is over rated and over priced. I highly recommend this iron!

Let me add my raves for this iron. It came Tuesday and I couldn't wait to whip out my husband's shirts to iron. It is a wee bit heavier than my former iron, BUT: it heats up unbelievably quickly, the glide is so smooth that it almost travels by itself, and the spray function and the steam are fabulous. Plus, it holds a lot more water than other irons I've used so there are fewer trips to the sink for refills.

By the way, thanks to Amazon for really fast delivery. So far everything I've ever ordered from them has arrived in tip top condition and with lightening speed.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST IRON I'VE EVER OWNED!!!

3/20/07 - I'VE DROPPED THIS IRON NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE (ALMOST KILLING MY MINI-DACHSHUND IN THE PROCESS) AND- YOU KNOW THE EXPRESSION IT TAKES A LICKING AND KEEPS ON TICKING? WELL SAME FOR THIS IRON. I WILL SAY THAT THE DIGITAL READ-OUT IS NOW WHACKY (WHO WOULDN'T BE FALLING OFF AN IRONING BOARD?) BUT THE STEAM FUNCTION AND THE SPRAY FUNCTION ARE WORKING PERFECTLY. THE READOUT IS VISIBLE BUT DIM AND I CAN'T TELL WHAT SETTING ITS ON. HOWEVER, HAVING FALLEN SO HEAVILY TWO TIMES, I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO WORK AT ALL BUT IT IS. I'M AMAZED HOW GREAT THIS IS. ALSO, I GOT SOME GOOEY STUFF THAT HARDENED ON THE PLATE AND THOUGHT THE IRON WAS RUINED, BUT IT CAME OFF FAIRLY EASILY. I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE GREAT IRON. I'VE PUT IT THROUGH THE WRINGER IN THE LAST YEAR YET IT CONTINUES TO DO A GREAT JOB. KUDOS TO BLACK AND DECKER.
