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

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).

I’ve been using the BLACK+DECKER Easy Steam Compact Iron for a few weeks now, and I’m honestly impressed. It’s small and lightweight, which makes it super easy to handle, especially for someone like me who doesn’t iron often and doesn’t want anything too bulky. The steam feature heats up quickly and does a great job at getting wrinkles out of everything from cotton shirts to more delicate fabrics. I love that it has an automatic shutoff it gives me peace of mind because I’ve definitely walked away before without remembering to unplug the iron. The nonstick soleplate glides smoothly over clothes without catching or sticking, and I’ve had zero issues with leaking or water spots. It’s also easy to refill, and the compact size makes it perfect for storing in small spaces or taking on trips. If you just need a solid, everyday iron that’s affordable and works well without all the extra bells and whistles, this one’s perfect. Highly recommend!

It's not the most powerful iron on the market, but it gets the job done without breaking the bank.

This is larger than I thought, the perfect size for my quilting projects when I don't want to pull out the ironing board. It's sturdy, holds a nice amount of water for steaming, heats up quickly.

The price and technology of irons nowadays is overwhelming. I needed something simple, doesnt have to be a robot and do the work for me... just a good old fashioned hot steam iron and this fits the bill! Easy to use, long cord and not so heavy for long ironing tasks.

I realized the surface of the iron doesn't burn or get scratched if I dont use spray starch.Water in the iron for steam works best to preserve the face of the iron without an iron cover.

I gave it 3 stars because it does effectively iron clothes; but I think "ANTI-DRIP SMARTSTREAM TECHNOLOGY" is just some phrase the marketing team made up. The thing leaks constantly, even if you don't fill it all the way to the 'MAX' line. It's not the end of the world, it's only water; but it's annoying to be sold a product with "ANTI-DRIP SMARTSTREAM TECHNOLOGY" that just pours water everywhere. In hindsight, I'd spend a little more for a better product.

I like Black and Decker. I like that this iron is also not terribly heavy and has easy settings. Good choice.
