Product Description
Amazon.com Review
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. --Fred Brack
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.

Do not recommend,
By Natasha "Natasha" (Chicago, IL, United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black & Decker X807 Prestige Plus Iron (Kitchen)
The iron worked fine for a couple of weeks, it irons OK, is good weight. At the end of the 2nd week, then the plastic handle you are supposed to hold to retract the cord, broke. Without it, the cord is can not be retracted. One other issue I have with it is water spills - whenever you change the position of the iron from vertical to horizontal. If you prefer to keep your iron in horizontal position, make sure there is no water left in it.

Replaced this finally - couldn't stand it any more,
By Sue (Hershey PA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Black & Decker X807 Prestige Plus Iron (Kitchen)
I purchased this iron from Amazon thinking the retractable cord would be great (I have small children) and the upright steamer could be useful. First, the directions were AWFUL. Second, I never was able to operate the steamer. Third, within 2 months the plastic winder for the retractable cord broke off and I was left with the dangling cord. Finally, the iron is so heavy that it kept falling over onto clothing or the ironing board - it was not well-balanced. This made me very nervous with children in the room - either they or I could get nailed with a heavy, hot iron if I wasn't holding it.
I finally gave up and spent $19 locally for a basic iron. It is a Black and Decker but is adequate. I was really disappointed since I spent more than I thought I every would on an iron and because I usually am pleased with Black & Decker products. Don't waste your money.

Good iron, but looking for an updated one,
This review is from: Black & Decker X807 Prestige Plus Iron (Kitchen)
I bought this iron for $63 I in autumn 2002 and I used it for 4 years daily. It was the best iron I ever had, never destroyed any fabric like those with Stainless Steel Soleplate and always worked fine. The retractable cord was very important for me, even if the plastic handle broke, I still could use it. It has the right weight for an iron. I was sad that after 4 years it suddenly stopped heating and there are none in the stores to replace it. It may be now obsolete because new irons with 3 way auto shut-off and vertical steam are on the market.
