So far, I am very pleased with this iron. The digital numbering coincides with the fabric to be ironed, so the correct temperature can be chosen. Takes out guesswork of “too hot” or “too cool” and lets you know when the iron is ready for ironing. Steam is powerful too. I often don’t need to place the iron on the fabric. The steam does the job, which makes the process faster.

Right now there is no “perfect” iron on the market at any price, but for this price, this is one of the best deals I’ve seen in a long time. I am a professional quilter and purchase at least one iron a year if not more. This iron does a better job at steam than I’ve seen in my irons for the past few years. Nice weight so I only have to guide it, not press on it to get it to iron. With the volumne of pressing I do, I can not have an iron I have to manually apply pressure to get it to work right. I do wish the iron’s sole plate was a bit larger. I also had to purchase (from another source as Amazon didn’t carry one) a teflon heat-proof mat so I could lay the iron flat to add water. I noticed these days a lot of irons require being flat to fill, not a fan, but found the mat at Walmart cheap. Only time will tell if this is a good of iron as it appears. If it still works a year from now, yet, two years, fantastic.

My last two irons were the EuroPros which imho is a fantastic iron, it has weight, does a great job in pressing and steaming, but each one only lasted about 9-10 months before the iron would just go off and not come on again. No warning, one minute it works, the next it doesn’t. Great iron, but after having two go belly up (and another friend’s EuroPro did the same thing), I decided I needed to look for another brand. Not a fan of Rowentas but… bought the expensive Rowenta Pro. It only lasted two weeks before it leaked like a sieve and was returned for a full refund. The other problem with the Pro was the super thick, stiff and unmoving power cord. It made the iron hard to move and the cord was always in the way.

For the price, this is a good deal.

I purchased this along with the Lodge Logic 12-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet, and took it along on a recent camping trip. This is probably not the greatest option for campfire cooking – while we could certainly use it to move the skillet from the fire to the table, it got pretty hot and we often this along with a heavy leather glove.

Unfortunately, I was not able to test it during regular kitchen use, as one of the other campers accidentally left it on the pan handle when it was over the fire and burned away chunk of the mitt. I’ve not replaced it yet, but when I do, I’ll probably go with something different.

We use cast-iron skillets (Lodge, of course) all the time. These are great at avoiding the burning handle.

I was looking for a steam/spray/dry iron that wasn’t too heavy and that did not drip.I tried this one and found it just the right iron for me. The price was good,too. I have have several pricier irons but they all dripped which can be a problem when ironing fine church linens as I often do. Ironing a labor intensive chore. A good well balanced irong makes it easier and the results are good, especially with the Rowenta Ironing Board that I purchased several years ago from Amazon. That board and this iron are a perfect pair.

I think this iron is great, it heats up really fast, when you put it on the correct setting your cloths come out nice and neat. the steam is powerful. all in all its a great iron. of course it is, its a Black and Decker

This iron works well. I especially like that you don’t have to empty the reservoir after each use. Self-clean feature seems fine. I only wish the cord retracted. Overall: good iron at a good price.
