B & D classic iron -- 2009-08-07
best iron ever! easy glider, gets hot enough for denim, good steam - if wanted. easy turn on-off button. LOVE IT.
Cord is too short -- 2008-06-15
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.

Terrible Iron -- 2009-10-13
Got this iron thinking that it would be a quality product. Won't make that mistake again! This iron did fine for about a month, just long enough that I could not return it to the local store. Then, it started dripping constantly. We followed all the directions regarding cleaning, adding water etc. NOTHING worked to keep this iron from dripping. Clothes always have water spots, then today, it just quit working, won't even turn on!
Bad iron -- 2009-10-11
This iron has all the features you would need, but burns clothes. If you want to use the steam setting it burns the cloth to the iron then gets it on other things you are ironing. I have cleaned it, used lower settings, nothing helps. Would not recommend to anyone. Have ruined too many clothing articles.

Awful iron -- 2010-01-01
This iron is awful. It is near impossible to get water into the water opening. This is not an exaggeration- I spent 10 minutes trying to get water in and it after 10 minutes, the tank wasn't even 1/10th full. The water just sits on the top and doesn't go down.
Luckily, I only spent $5 on this iron and use it as a backup for when my other crappy Black & Decker iron breaks (which occurs on a yearly basis- fortunately, they've been replacing them under warranty).
Sole cracked after 3 month of use -- 2009-09-21
The quality is bad. The sole cracked after 3 month of use. I suspect it was caused by ... steam. Anyway, you get what you pay for. I bought T-Fal (Tefal in Europe) instead. Great product, already use it for 3 years, no problem, no complaints. I wish I did not waste money on B&D. However, I know they have good products but they are not cheap.

Only worked once -- 2010-02-01
Received iron quickly and well packaged. My wife unpacked it and used it once, it worked fine. That evening she tried to use it again and it wouldn't power on. Returning it for a refund...
A lot better than I expected -- 2010-01-10
Compared to some of the other irons I saw online this is one of the cheapest, so logically I wasn't expecting much out of it.
However, I'm very pleasantly surprised. The iron heats up quickly, gives out a decent amount of steam, enough for any type of clothing and is easy to handle.

Awful -- 2010-02-09
This iron should be a textbook example in bad design. The knob for turning it on and setting the temperature is VERY difficult to use. The only indication of what the numbers on the dial mean is on the other side of the iron (the hot side) down at the very bottom. When you tilt the iron to read this, the water pours out. It is very hard to tell when you've filled the water to the proper level the translucent water compartment isn't translucent enough. When pressing the steam button, an awful lot of the steam comes out the sides and up into your face. The meaning of the indication lights on the handle is a little ambiguous. This iron isn't worth it at any price!
not a good model -- 2010-01-03
Yes, I am an ironer and no, I do not iron my underwear, hurrr. Knock it off you haters with your wrinkly-ass clothes. Anyway, I had this iron for less than a year before I gave up on it. For starters, the control dial on the front is small and very hard to turn. Design-wise, the red plastic trim is very attractive looking, but it is way too dark to see the water level easily, which is a real pain. The soleplate got discolored and scratched up pretty fast and no matter what I tried I could never get it clean again. Then the burst of steam button got stuck in the down position. Eventually it would drift back up all the way, but when pushed down a time or two it would be stuck again. That will not do, I needs my steam. I'm not soured on B&D irons as a whole, I have had several in the past and they've served me well, but this model has some flaws.

Don't Bother! -- 2009-11-30
After years of use and finally wearing out my last Black & Decker Quick 'n Easy iron, I bought this newer model right away. Let's just say this is a genuine case of "they sure don't make 'em like they used to!". I realize this is very reasonably priced, however, it has so many shortcomings, you really should give a lot of thought to another model. The blue cover over the water holder is translucent - you cannot tell how much, if any, water you have in the iron unless your lighting is super bright and shining at just the right angle. However, the worst defect is that the iron just decides unpredictably to soak whatever you are ironing. So if you need something ironed to wear in a hurry - do not use the steam feature... OR have a blow dryer handy - you'll need it!

(Somewhat less) Impressed! -- 2009-12-17
(The following review was written before my 6-week-old iron just stopped working one day -- lights on, no heat. I replaced it with the same model, but the new appliance smells like melting plastic and spits water along with the steam. Quality control issues at B&D? Apologies to the 4 readers who liked my review. What follows is my original 5-star review.)
I look for very little in an iron -- it has to be well-balanced, have an auto-off feature and get hot enough for my quick style of pressage. This iron has these features and a few more nice touches. The fill indicator is so oriented that I don't have to move the appliance to see whether it is full, The auto-off light doubles as a heat indicator light, turning green when the iron is hot enough, red when it's not and blinking red when it has shut itself off. And it heats up mighty fast!
My only worry is about the cap for the water reservoir, which gimbles up on fragile-looking plastic struts that would easily break if hit the wrong way. Also, the retractable cord is a feature I have no use for.
But for the money, about $28 at Walmart, this appliance is very well-designed, works extremely well, and is just about perfect.

Worst iron I have ever owned!!! -- 2009-11-07
My title says it all. I have never been so tempted to hurl an appliance across the room as I am when using this iron! It has a shut-off feature which kicks in after 8 minutes of non-use. Sounds like a great idea, but it never knows when to turn itself back on! It's supposed to have an internal motion sensor so that when you pick it back up, it starts reheating again. That RARELY happens though. I have stood there shaking the heck out of this thing, up and down, side to side, in a circle, mid-air figure 8s...nothing works! I tried turning it off, then on again, but to no avail. The only way I seem to be able to get it to acknowledge my presence is to unplug it and plug it back in. What a pain in the butt! And then this morning, the final straw. Right in the middle of ironing, I mean ACTIVELY ironing my pants, and the damn thing shuts itself off! It gives me the 5 little warning beeps and then starts cooling down. So not only are my pants still wrinkly, now they're also streaked with water dripping from the iron! This thing has one more time to mess with me and it's gonna find itself in a crumpled heap out on the curb! Oh and if you're wondering why I gave it 2 stars if I hate it so much, it's because when it DOES work (and that ain't often!) it will definitely knock the wrinkles out of whatever you're ironing, FAST! However, if you value your time in the least, look elsewhere and don't waste it on this clunker!!!

Best Iron ever! -- 2010-01-25
I bought this iron cause my old one broke and this one was on sale...it has been the best iron I have ever had...I've never had any problems with it not even dripping...It's inexpensive and it does the job well...I think the best part that I like about it is the plate which I have noticed that it irons smoothly almost gliding as I'm ironing...I have actually had many of my family members and friends get one after using mine!
Worked great untill it rusted. -- 2009-11-17
I bought this iron less than six months ago and loved it up until it decided to get rust spots all over my white duvet cover. I was steaming the wrinkles out of my sheets when I noticed the unit starting to drip rust colored water all over. I empty the unit after each use and make sure that it is dry before I store it. I do not believe the iron lives up to its drip proof claim, otherwise how could it have rusted internally and ruined my fairly expensive duvet cover. I also noticed some build up around the ports in which the steam exits leading me to believe that this iron is not the best bang for your buck.
