 | Black & Decker F920 Light 'N Easy Iron, White
Splish Splash. Am I ironing or taking a bath with this iron? I can't tell. -- 2009-12-16 I received my Black & Decker Light'N Easy Iron as a gift. I hate it!
I spend 6+ hours a week ironing for a family of four, so having a good iron is a must. This iron is lightweight, and doesn't get too hot even on max. It would be perfect except for one fatal flaw. The opening for the water reserve is awkward to use when filling the iron and even if I only fill it a quarter to max, it sloshes out water every time I move my hand. I was forced to keep a towel handy to wipe up the gushes (not dribbles) of water. I also worried constantly about inadvertently being electrocuted by the iron because of all of the water that leaks out of the opening.
I used this iron exactly the way the manufacturer intended. I have to guess that whoever designed the Light'N Easy never actually used it, or it never would have made it onto the store shelves.
There are plenty of irons in this price range that do a good job. Do yourself a favor and buy one of those, don't waste your money on the Light'N Easy.
Ordinarily I'd send something I don't need on to Goodwill, but I'm going to probably throw it out because I wouldn't give it to my worst enemy.
BLACK & DECKER LIGHT N EASY IRON -- 2009-09-01 THIS IS THE WORST IRON I HAVE EVER USED. IT LEAKS FROM THE TOP PORT CONSTANTLY, LEAVING WATER EVERWHERE, ON MY CLOTHES, THE IRONING BOARD AND EVEN MY HAND. OF COURSE, I WILL NEVER USE THIS IRON AGAIN. I WILL HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER IRON AND IT CERTAINLY WON'T BE A BLACK & DECKER!!!!!!!!!!!!

 | Black & Decker GS110 Steam 'n Go Garment Steamer
Have Not Received -- 2008-03-19 I still haven't received the steamer. Gizmos sent me an electric skillet which I have returned. I ordered the steamer on 2/4/08, and just yesterday, 3/17/08 received the UPS label to send it back. The package was picked up today at Glenns Valley Elementary, Indianapolis, IN. I leave for a cruise next week and that's why I ordered the steamer.
AWFUL product that burns -- 2008-02-08 This product dispenses almost no steam but just leaks water onto your clothes (boiling hot water). DO NOT BUY THIS

 | Black & Decker ICR510 First Impressions Cord Reel Iron, White
6 Months and That's It! -- 2009-10-13 This product only worked for me for 6 months, also!
The cord does not reel in all the way after the 3rd time.
The iron itself worked pretty well for the time that it worked. Since I was within the 1 year warranty, I had to contact the company, send in the cord and pay for shipping and handling for my replacement item. Did that today, so let's see how long it takes for them to send me the new one.
Broken after 6 months -- 2009-02-24 This iron worked well until it completely broke after 6 months. Also, the cord doesn't retract completely after some time.

 | Black & Decker C520 Gizmo Steam 'N Crease 3-in-1 Iron
Use only for travel -- 2008-01-22 I used this iron daily for almost a year before the temperature dial got stuck. It takes a lot of effort to iron clothes because it has a small ironing surface, it doesn't hold a lot of water, and the steam button requires an usual amount of effort to push. It also spits water like no else. I can only see this as being useful for travelers.
Adam's Iron -- 2007-01-19 The iron was a Christmas gift for my 23 year old grandson who likes to look nice for his job and otherwise. He was pleased with the gift.
