Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A time solution for the extra-busy, the Black & Decker Prestige iron flashes and sounds an alert when it hits the desired temperature or is about to shut off automatically. This feature eliminates the need to guess at ready temperatures or suffer from unintentional cool down. A 1200-watt machine, the iron features a highly polished stainless-steel soleplate for comfortable glide and durable nick-resistance. Its water features, including spray and variable steam, help eliminate stubborn wrinkles, and the vertical steam is great for hanging clothes or draperies. Black & Decker has revised some old tried-and-true features with this model: the body is snub-nosed instead of elongated, the temperature dial is on the handle, and the water tank is accessed through a (not-so-sturdy) hatch. Measuring 6-1/2 by 11-1/4 by 5 inches, the iron comes with an extra-long cord, measuring cup, and a built-in Steam Clean system to flush lint and minerals for better performance. --Emily Bedard

1.0 out of 5 stars Prestige Iron, September 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Black & Decker X850 Prestige Inox Stainless Steel Iron (Kitchen)

This iron is the worse iron I have ever owned. When I first used the iron the water reservoir lid snapped off. So, I returned it and purchased the Prestige X805. The same thing, the water reservoir lid snapped off. I thought no biggy it still works. After about 2 months of use, it began to leak water. I'm not talking just a few trickles, it just pores out from the bottom of the iron. I can't return it and now I'm in the process of purchasing a new iron. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER BLACK & DECKER IRON!!!!

I have really enjoyed using this iron. It glides over my clothes very smoothly and has done a great job so far. The only problem I had is with calcium build up which really only made a difference on black clothing. This was only a problem at the beginning but now has disappeared.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does NOT get out Wrinkles !, August 21, 2006

Recieved this as a gift along with a Target gift receipt. I exchanged it 3 times thinking the first one was just a lemon. Well the iron does not have enough power to get out wrinkles. I spent 20 minutes ironing a sheet and it still looked like before I ironed it with all the wrinkles coming back. Does make an annoying noise when plugged in & turned off. I never put water in it because I was afraid it would leak like the the other reviews said. It was made in Mexico so maybe this brand had poor quality assurance. For a $59 iron it's the worst iron!
