Steam Iron Reviews

Excellent iron, no give or take.
The sole is always clean, the rubber grip is most grippable, the iron glides easily and its weight and size are just right for the hand.
Not expensive. What else one can wish?
Yes, and I got it second-hand, feels and performs like new.

This is the best iron I have ever tried. If you don't always get to your ironing right away it allows you to steam all of the wrinkles out in no time. It produces an amazing amount of steam. It is what I would call medium weight. The only problem I have had is that eons ago I developed a habit of sitting an iron on the heel while I adjust the ironing piece. You can't do that with this iron. Oh well, it was a bad habit anyway. I highly recommend this iron!

I purchased this item at the beginning of this year and absolutely love it. You can use this iron for regular steam ironing or verticle items such as jackets and long evening dresses. This steam iron gets dried wrinkles out of cotton material and also allows you to hold a velvet blazer on a hanger and steam all of the wrinkles out of it too. I really love it and use it all of the time. I am purchasing one for my daughter for Christmas. I am sure she will love it as much as I do.

Don't waste your money on this iron. It takes longer to iron garments with this iron. The soleplate quickly developed a build-up of crud, and following the manufacturer's directions for cleaning (ironing a cloth soaked with white vinegar) did not remove the build-up. Finally, the rubber strain-relief at the point where the power cord connects to the iron body broke after one month of ownership.

I thought the iron heated up very fast. It's lightweight and nicely designed. The iron leaked when using the steam feature which I why I rated it two stars. It leaked a lot...not just a few drips. I returned the iron.

I recently purchased this Bosch iron a few months ago. It has been working quite well so far. The main thing I like about it is that it's fairly simple to use, unlike most other irons, that are heavy and became a chore when ironing. The only drawback I can think of is as mentioned in the other review, with the leaks that came out with using the steam function. But I have seen the complaint of leaks with some irons over $100. And look at the price-$45 is a bargain! Hey, how come no one agrees with me?

There is not much to this iron; I had gotten used to my old iron and thought that this one would duplicate its function - but keep in mind that this little iron will only steam up on the highest settings; which limits your ironing options and makes t-shirt transfers impossible. It also managed to melt one of my shirts, but that's probably this reviewer's fault, rather than it's!

I don't know what others think of this iron but I have dropped it about 50 times since I've had it and it's still ticking. Other irons I have had for half the time did not do half the job of this one.I love my iron.

I have had the very same problem that others listed. After a few years of use, the on switch just refuses to stay in the on position. What horrible quality!!!

I had the same problem as others did. After about 2 years, the iron won't stay on in the upright (veritical) position. It turns off. It stays on in the horizontal position, while ironing, as long as the cord doesn't jiggle. As soon as you set it down to move clothing, it clicks and shuts off. The steam was good on the iron.....but I will NOT buy another Black & Decker iron again !!!

I looked up this iron to tell my mom the model number, as she has had one bad iron after another and I am recommending this one to her. I am so surprised to see these negative reviews, I guess that most people who are pleased with their product don't feel the need to post a positive statement! So I will speak up in this iron's defense. We have used this exact iron for 2 1/2 years. It has never leaked, it warms up instantly and steams like a champ. And I must add that I have dropped the iron probably about 20 times over 2 1/2 years, and the only thing that happens is the blue knob falls off, but it snaps right back on. Other than that it continues to work perfectly. So I definitely describe it as durable and recommend it!
