Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: As advertised Comment: I selected this iron based on the product reviews at many sites. It always rated at the top. I've only used it once since I purchased it but was very pleased. Customer Rating: Summary: What a terrific iron! Comment: I've just received this iron, and I've never had such a handy gadget before. It heats up almost immediately, holds a steam blaster for tough wrinkles, glides effortlessly over any fabric, and shuts itself off if left unattended (ten minute time-out if it's vertical, one minute if it's lying on its faceplate). I would feel rather silly just describing how to use an iron, but this one does everything so well, from filling the reservoir to blast-cleaning the iron of deposits. I hate ironing, but this makes it almost fun. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Iron Comment: I love this iron. A few great features are the alert when the iron is at the selected heat as well as the auto shut down. I do not spend as much time ironing since I bought it. Customer Rating: Summary: Mine is a drip Comment: After reading other reviews, I wonder if the reviewers used the same iron I did. This iron is heavy. The sole-plate does not slide easly over many materials even though the iron is on the correct setting. Finally the very first time I used it, it beeped that it was ready. I set it down and water ran out of the bottom, something I hate in an iron, and no it was not over-filled. So you can understand why I am not thrilled with this iron. Customer Rating: Summary: Old Fashion Tasks Made Easier Comment: Black & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron
The digital controls are easy to use and steam volume control is very effective. The iron heats up quickly and maintains the temp you have selected. Water chamber fills quick and easy because it is vented and has a hinged snap-down sealing cap which prevents water spills if iron is tipped. Has a highly polished sole plate that glides easily and has lots of steam holes. Excellent performance. Makes ironing a little less bothersome.
My only complaint, there is no true power on/off switch. Iron can be shut down, but red indicator stays on telling you there still is power at the iron. Directions state "disconnect iron from electrical outlet when not in use." This can be a nuisance when the wall outlet is not conveniently located. That was my situation, so between the iron and wall outlet I installed a 15-amp power strip with a 6 foot cord and an on/off switch. Now I can switch off the iron without unplugging it.
