Black & Decker Light N Easy Compact Steam Iron

This B%26D Light 'n Easy model was purchased to replace a 35-year old B%26D Light 'n Easy that suddenly konked out last month. Part of the pleasure of using this one is obvious: how nice to have a heel rest that isn't Gorilla Glued on (which is how the other one limped through the last 10 years or so--)! The color is fun, the features such steam automatically matched to the heat setting, the swivel cord and automatic shut off are useful (swivel cord makes it easy to switch hands and work from the other side of a garment). Plus I notice some features that aren't mentioned, but matter: for example, the position of the heat plate below the extensive plastic "cabinet." Many times you'll reach for the iron without really looking at it after moving a garment, and this design ensures that you don't wrongly reach for the hot part. This iron is heavier than the old model, but that helps to press the clothes at a lower heat setting. From reading the reviews, I guess it's not reasonable to expect this one to last 35 years but - hey, why not?

i never received this item. i hsd an old one....

This iron gets the job done. It takes only a couple of minutes to heat up and the ironing is smooth. I haven't had any issues until now. It's been almost a year using this.

The iron was about $22.50, with most retailers selling it for about $42 dollars. It really nice because it has a super smooth Teflon base. You can also use water as a spray on for steaming clothes.

I am elderly and this iron is light weight and very effective for people who have arthritis and it does a very good job pressing your clothes with steam

The product delivers what it promises. BAM

Excellent [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The dial to select temp. is poorly constructed. It is very hard to turn, had to use a towel in my hand to set. I returned it before it could break.

The light keeps shutting on and off every five seconds. Not sure if I supposed to happen but it's annoying. But it is very late and convenient to you.

the iron i received was clearly used. it had water in the water reservoir and a piece of fabric caught in the edge. now i have to go to post office to return it. i am supposed to stay at home except for essential errands because of this carona virus. i am highly disappointed.
