 | Black & Decker AS150 Steam Advantage Iron
A total waste of money... -- 2008-12-02 I bought this a year ago, but just started using it regularly in the past six months. I iron exactly two pair of slacks once a week so I am not a heavy user. It did an okay job, but was not the hottest iron I have owned. Ironing cotton was a real chore. It died yesterday. It just ceased to get hot. I am not sure if it is just this iron or Black & Decker in general, but I will think twice before purchasing this brand again.
Not good over time -- 2008-01-01 We have had this iron for about a year. We purchased it because our last iron was a Black and Decker and lasted for a long time. This iron worked will for us until the swivel that holds the cord decided to stop working. We can iron if we hold the cord just so. I thought I would repair the iron but they put a no tamper screw in so I would have to buy a special screw driver and frankly the iron is just not worth the cost of the screw driver.

iron, Black & Decker 2020 -- 2009-01-20 I've used this iron 2 years & am very happy w/ it. I am replacing it before it dies all the way. I like the high wattage for quick heating & rapid removal of wrinkles. The plate surface is large, there are many steam vents, makes the task easier. Self-clean feature works well. Just a tad on the heavy side. About average in being stable set at rest on the ironing board. I like to be able to set the amount of steam. Most irons just offer more steam w/ more heat, but at times I like lighter or heavier steam at various temperatures. I like the large water tank & that it steams well right down to the end of the tank. (Not true of all irons.) I iron about 2 hours a week, & more if I sew. Auto off is a good feature too. I like the "beep" indicating it's up to heat.
I don't like it that it's showing suspicious signs of malfunctioning after 2 years of use. Maybe I use it harder than most households, but things used to last a lot longer. Also the water cap is vulnerable, it broke off its hinge right away, & the plastic around it has cracked. Just an irritation when you try to take care of things, keep them new-looking, but they crash anyway. It's operational, but none the less, broken.
I'm very fussy abt. my iron since I do a lot of ironing. I do like this iron well enough to replace it, & I couldn't find it in local retail stores. So I was glad to find it online for a good price. Maybe if I'm super super careful w/ the water cap on the new one on order, it won't break.

VERY DISAPPOINTED!I -- 2008-12-10 I cannot review the iron because, as another customer experienced, I was sent the wrong iron (first impressions). I have to wait for return label and stand in line at a UPS store in Christmas crowds to return. I won't get my refund until they receive the iron. They didn't say how I will receive the refund......poor business!!!!!!
Excellent -- 2007-05-12 Black & Decker Professional Retractable Cord Iron. I think its good but its different as it appears on your page.
