Equipped with a cord-reel for convenience and a nonstick soleplate for a smooth glide and easy cleanup of starch residue, this lightweight, full-size, 1,200-watt iron is especially useful for sewing, quilting, and craft enthusiasts who work with fusibles and bondable interfacing. Black & Decker's Smart Steam system ensures a controlled steam flow by automatically adjusting steam volume to whatever temperature is selected on the seven-setting dial. There's also a self-cleaning system for flushing out lint and minerals to prolong the iron's life. Other features include vertical steam for removing wrinkles from hanging garments and drapes; misting-spray and steam-burst buttons for tough wrinkles; a soft-touch grip; and an extra-large transparent water tank. For safety, the iron automatically shuts off if it's not moved for 10 minutes. It carries a one-year warranty against defects.

Product Description
If ironing doesn't make your Top Ten list of favorite hobbies, be sure to select an iron that makes this task as painless as possible. The Prestige Plus iron has a Smart SteamTM System which delivers the right amount of steam for the temperature, and it has spray too. The controls are easily accessed and the water fill door flips open for convenient refilling. The extra large water tank needs refilling less often and there's even a handy little fill cup included. Finally the non-stick soleplate and comfort grip handle make the ironing process less strenuous. The handle contains no rubber or latex; good news for those with allergies.
