iron, Black & Decker 2020, January 19, 2009
This review is from: Black & Decker D1500 Digital Advantage Full Size Smart Steam Inox Soleplate, White (Kitchen)
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.

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...
