BLACK+DECKER Easy Steam Compact Iron for Clothes, Automatic Shutoff, Nonstick Plate, Light Weight, 1200 Watts

I’ve been using this iron for a few weeks now, and it’s been a huge help in keeping my clothes looking crisp. It heats up very quickly, so I don’t have to wait long to get started, and the steam output is strong enough to smooth out even stubborn wrinkles. The temperature dial is easy to adjust, and it handles different fabrics really well—cotton, linen, and even delicate pieces have all come out looking great.The iron glides smoothly over fabric without catching, and the pointed tip makes it easy to get around buttons and into tight corners. The water reservoir is simple to fill, and I like that the steam function doesn’t sputter or leak while ironing.One small downside: the cord is a little shorter than I expected, so I sometimes have to rearrange where I’m ironing to reach comfortably.Overall, it’s a reliable, efficient iron that makes ironing a lot less of a chore. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good everyday option!

Great price and great product with excellent steam quality and removal of wrinkles quickly and easily

I got this for my sewing projects and honestly it really is amazing. I like that you can use it as a steam iron or you can just simply use is as a regular iron. It’s small and lightweight so it doesn’t feel like you’re carrying a brick around when you use it. The only thing that can get annoying sometimes is it feels like the timer for it to automatically turn off is a shorter amount of time than I’d like. It doesn’t have any kind of switch, it’s just plug in and it’s on so when that timer kicks in, you have to unplug it and then plug it back in. I’d say it’s definitely still 4 stars though just because it absolutely still does get the job done, and it cools down really fast when it does turn off as well.

I initially left a mediocre review for this iron because it leaked water when I tried to use the steam function; but that was my fault. I had plugged the iron in, let it heat up, and then I decided I wanted to use the steam. So, I filled it up while it was hot, and if you do that it definitely will leak. I have since used it correctly and it works very well!

Exactly as described. Quick and efficient delivery. Priced well. Highly recommend. Easy to get delivered to my home. This is a decent iron that heats up quickly and does shut off if left on. Lightweight iron and can iron many things with one fill.

This iron heats up quickly and works really well. It’s easy to use and makes clothes look neat and smooth. Great quality for the price!

I don't iron as much as I had in the past ... in fact very little. The old iron I had finally gave up the ghost so I needed a new, basic iron, and this is a VERY basic iron but seems adequate for occasional use. One of the things I did not like about it is there is no way to turn off the steam function if you need to use dry high heat (which my old iron had). If you have water in the reservoir, you need to empty it, wherein lies the other issue. The small water fill slot is somewhat awkward and you have to pour the water in very slowly and at an awkward angle. If you want to empty the reservoir, it has to come out the same slot and you have to turn the iron upside down and rotate through various angles to get all the water out. In my opinion, this is a very poor design. Speaking of water, the instruction sheet states that you can use tap water. Depending on your water hardness, this may be an issue in the long term as minerals will tend to build up. You can descale using vinegar, but you can avoid having do that by using distilled water, which has no minerals. The instructions also say to not use whole-house softened water. Likely this is due to the fact that most softening systems use salt to soften the water, this too can build up and ruin the iron. To stay safe, again I would recommend using distilled water (not purified drinking nor spring water, which contain minerals), which is usually readily available at most grocery stores and not very expensive. It does have an auto-off feature if laying flat or on its side for over three minutes, or if it sits vertically for over eight minutes (though laying flat for three minutes will likely burn your fabric and may start a fire). I did not try out this feature but if it works, it works. It does have a spray nozzle if you need extra dampness to get a stubborn wrinkle(s) out. When you turn the heat selection dial to the steam function (4 or higher) there is a bit of resistance felt on the dial and perhaps this is due to a mechanical function of using steam. Not sure, but it may be normal. It does NOT do vertical steaming (i.e. steam when iron is held vertically), which is useful for removing wrinkles from fabrics hanging vertically, such as curtains, without having to remove them and lay them flat. There are other models and brands that offer this feature, but at a bit more cost. The iron uses 1200 watts of electricity (which is 10 amps on a 120 volt service) so keep that in mind when using and be sure you are not using another high wattage appliance (such as microwave, toaster or hair-dryer) on the same circuit at the same time if say, you are using a 20 amp circuit, which is normally the highest on a single household 120 volt circuit.SUMMARY: For the cost, this appears to be an adequate basic iron for occasional use. If you need more features, you can find those in other models, though at a higher cost. The biggest issue I have with this is the awkward water filling/emptying.

This iron is smaller than others I have had and works great for small items (babies and kids-sized). It is super light-weight and much easier to lift and maneuver. It heated up quickly and maintained its temp. This thing is really able to iron out the wrinkles easier than my old one. I did use distilled water and the steam output was fantastic. I did get distracted and left the iron on and it shut itself off (much to my relief).
