Finally. An iron that acts and looks like an iron.
By Cynthia
I want you to know I saved all the ironing this week for the arrival of this iron. This is one of the most inexpensive irons offered here at Amazon. It's also better than the others. After one overpriced T-Fal and one even more overpriced Rowenta, I am convinced that 1) some things are better left unchanged and 2) One should never fix that which is not broken. Therefore, I have returned to my ironing roots. This is like the iron I grew up using. This is the type of iron that never let me down. Not fussy. Not awkward. The right size. Not built like it belongs on a spaceship. And most of all........Not made entirely of cheap plastic.I can honestly say I am sorry I wasted my money on the expensive irons because none of them handled, ironed or made me feel as comfortable as Ye Old Black and Decker The-Way-It-Was-And-The-Way-It-Should-Stay Steam Iron.It does what an iron is supposed to do and, if placed on its heel (the way I learned how to iron), it doesn't shut off on you 15 times while you are trying to iron a batch of clothing and want to stop and do something else for a minute. If given the choice, I would really revert back to the old days when irons didn't have an automatic shutoff at all. I mean, if you are that ditzy that you can't remember to turn the iron off, well I honestly don't know what to tell you. I'm sure our lawmakers, instead of doing something useful, made some kind of law about irons automatically shutting off so that the person using it can be tortured. This iron does have an auto shutoff, and it's very fast and annoying if you put the soleplate directly on the ironing board, which is an invitation to scortching something. However, if rested on its heel, you have 8 minutes. This is enough time to adjust things or answer the phone without returning to an iron that's not hot enough.I agree with other comments that this is also a heavy iron. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't irons SUPPOSED to be heavy enough to press out wrinkles? A heavy iron means you don't have to push and do the work when pressing seams or things like jeans. And if you are a cat owner, you understand when I say that I know for a fact that, sooner or later, your 20-pound cat Rodney is going to knock that iron right off the board. Okay, I mean MY 20-pound cat Rodney. At least with this iron and its steel base, you won't be sweeping up a heap of plastic pieces if it hits the floor -- and chances are good it will still do the job, just like the old days. I don't know this for certain. Yet. But heck, it's a lot less painful paying $19 bucks for another iron than it is buying another useless plastic oversized Rowenta.Listen, I would prefer not to iron at all, but barring that possibility, at least now I own an iron that does what it is supposed to do without spitting, sputtering and switching itself off every time I walk to the closet to get another hanger.Get this iron, learn to rest it on its heel, and put yourself out of your ironing misery. And save yourself some bucks besides.

Have they changed this iron?
By Jenny Bishop
I bought one of these irons several years ago and I love it. It gets really hot, which is why I iron, and it is heavy enough to iron things rather than just a touch-up. So, I bought another one a few years ago, but it didn't get as hot as my original iron. I kept using the hotter, original, but the plate where you move the button for the various heat settings has become loose and so I decided to buy another one. Wow! this one is really terrible! It doesn't get very hot, it shuts off when I don't want it to, and the soleplate doesn't glide smoothly. When I am talking about how hot the iron gets, I want the fabric to feel HOT after I run the iron over it on the highest setting. I iron a lot of cotton and linen fabrics, and I need it hot.I think that the merchandise that is not made in the USA anymore really varies in consistency. And I notice that items are getting tackier and of poorer quality. Fabrics are not what they were, appliances are not the best quality and when you buy curtains and draperies, they don't even match up in length. This generation of consumers has nothing to compare the quality of imported products to, but I am finding (in my old age) the great quality that we used to have is sadly eroding. I think we should get back to making our own products again, and instead of buying quantity we should look for quality and take care of the things that we purchase instead of throwing everything out when it doesn't work right. Goods might be cheaper now, but they are certainly not better.

By Thomas
I've had this for several months now, and just bought one for a family gift for Christmas. Excellent quality. I was initially curious due to the old school look. Black and Decker backed up the look with a heavy, old school iron which performs like products built back in the day performed. It gets hot quick, irons well, sturdy build, and the steam distribution is nice (no leaking water steam "leakouts".) Who likes having solid "sploches" of water blasted out on an oxford dress shirt when trying to iron a shirt for the next day at the office? I've seen irons in the hundreds of dollars and wouldn't bother. I'm in the middle class income range and could afford a more expensive iron, but I am glad I bought this one. I got both through Amazon and their customer service is excellent. If the iron didn't work out, I could've returned it easily.Added features for the modern era = auto shutoff, a dual green/red LED to show on/off status. Large spout to pour in water for steam. I dig the old school button and temp adjustment control.Bottom line- get this one, you will be satisfied. In this day and age of "make everything super cheap, it'll work fine for a while then fail, but we make good profit and the customer will have no recourse"... this product isn't in this category. Give it a whirl, you'll see I'm right.
