1.0 out of 5 stars Great Iron--Terrible Wiring, September 29, 2002

I bought this iron less than two years ago. When it works, it's fabulous. However, the cord (where it connects to the actual iron) is shorting out. Or, it gets so hot that it actually burns my hand as I iron. This machine is not safe!!! I'm going to write to Black and Decker to let them know. Avoid this at all costs!

1.0 out of 5 stars Shortage In Iron, May 5, 2003

Like most of the other reviewers, I also purchased this iron. It irons clothes perfectly -- does a really good job of removing wrinkles. However, I am now experiencing the same problem with the iron; it cuts on and off at will. It behaves like a spoil baby or toddler that will only turn on if I hold it in my hand and then as soon as I put it down it cuts off.

If you are considering purchasing an iron look elsewhere, the lifetime of this iron seems to be about a year or less.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only if it worked, August 27, 2003

The first time I bought the iron, it shorted within a week. It would auto shut-off every minute. I called Black & Decker customer support and they asked me to return it for a replacement. I was ok with the replacement but it started behaving just the same (auto shut-off) within two weeks. I called them again, and they replaced it again. The sequence of calling and returning continued for a while (I had five irons replaced!). The fifth one did work for over one and half years. But last night, it shorted out again. Had a tough time deciding what to wear this morning to work! I am definitely not buying a Black & Decker iron again.
