[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of blackanddeckerappliances] I had owned this iron as one of my first appliance purchases And loved it. I used to use the iron to put sharp creases in my uniform shirts and trousers. This appliance also took a great deal of abuse(unlike later models) and could drop to the floor and not leak.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] [Employee of blackanddeckerappliances] I have older versions of this iron that I have used for over 20 years. I bought these in case you stop making them. Great basic iron, makes the job easier.
I have use this iron for a long time. I just recently purchased a new one and I do not like the auto shut off. It takes for ever o iron it shuts off every tie you t it up. It doesn't give you time to turn your garment over or move it. It is awful. Wish I could have my old one back. Worse feature I've ever seen on an iron.
My grandmother and I love this iron. These newer irons dont have any weight to them which makes ironing harder and take longer. We both wish there was a way to get the iron repaired after they break but we dont mind getting a replacement since its been a staple in her home for over 40 years.
I just bought this. After all of the cheap lousy irons I've had that have leaked after a few months usage, finally a good heavy duty steam iron that is simple and sturdy!!! Thanks for bringing this back Black and Decker!
This iron does not maintain it's heat and you don't know if it is warm enough to iron with. I do not need a sensor to tell me if I am using the correct temperature. I purposely bought an iron without the automatic shut off feature. The constant cooling and heating also causes a starch build up on the plate that comes off on the fabric. I am taking this back and getting a refund.
