 Fantastic Iron January 1, 2009
Kat (San Francisco, CA)
This is a seriously fantastic iron. I never would have thought that an iron could push out that much steam with a press of a button! The Black & Decker Iron heats up quickly, glides over fabric smoothly, and shoots out the right amount of steam without leaking all over my husband's shirts. Highly recommended!!!
 Why, oh why, does that light stay on? December 31, 2008

I've only had this iron for a couple of days and I must say that looks wise this is a beautiful iron. It does a fine job of ironing with its good weight and steam. I do not even find the notorious fill cap as fragile as many have described. However, I find it a pain that the "power" light remains on even when you turn the iron off if it stays plugged in. Now, I understand the reasoning to unplug the iron every time, I get it, but I am not in the unplug every time camp. Sometimes I just turn off my iron then carry on. I do not want my iron even remotely looking like it still might be on with its big bright red light shining at me. At first, I thought it might have been a "iron still hot" warning light a la a smooth top oven. But when I came back to the room 30 minutes later and the light was still on I'm thinking, "What the heck? I know I turned the iron off and even if I didn't the auto-off should have worked. I was wrong, the light just stays on. This might be petty and like I said I fully understand the safety reasons behind unplugging the iron but I'm realistic and know that I will not always unplug my iron on those rushed "got to get to work" mornings. If the always on light is not a bother to you then I would give this iron 5 stars. However, I am very irritated by an always on iron light thus the 3 stars.

Edit - Now my brand new iron with all of 4 or 5 items ironed says it needs to be cleaned. So I clean it as per the instructions and the "clean" message is still on. It is like having a new car and the "check engine" light comes on at 200 miles driven.
I didn't need to spend more, and I got what I wanted December 30, 2008

I'd been prejudiced against Black and Decker products for a while now, the once-reliable company name has been producing a lot of junky products. I was looking for an iron that has some good weight to it, easy to operate, convenient in essential features. So far, this is a great iron. I've had it about a month. It's better than the more-expensive Rowenta, and better than the Proctor Silex I had before (which was too light in weight). The digital temperature and on-off switch is easy to operate. Standard tap water is fine. Plenty of options for how much steam you get. Don't forget to peel off the plastic film from the temp readout and bottom of the iron before using it for the first time.
I almost did.
 Loved it until it died a premature death December 27, 2008

While this iron worked, it was incredible. Problem is, it only lasted about 6 months. One day it started beeping, overheated, and then quit cold turkey, never to restart. A short, sweet life, but I don't think an iron should be a constantly replaceable item. I haven't had time to contact Black and Decker yet, but I'm not happy about the short life span of this product.
Great Deal! December 26, 2008

Rowenta irons have always been my favorite until I got tired of spending the extra bucks for an iron. I purchased the Black & Decker D2030 approximately 6 months ago and I am totally satisfied. It performs just as well as the more expensive irons and it is lighter weight. I would highly recommend purchasing this iron to anyone.
