BLACK+DECKER Steam Iron for Clothes with Retractable Cord, Vertical Steaming, Anti-Drip Design, Spray Mist and Auto Clean Button, 1200W

I love this iron. I bought a Black and Decker in 1990's the only problem with it is that the soleplate is damaged and it sticks to everything. I decided to get another one that I hope will last as long as that one has. The weight on this iron is perfect for me. It is considerably lighter than my old one but still has weight. I have old boxes of fabric that I am using to make quilts and is not just cotton but different kinds of polyester combination materials, some are stretchy and some are not. It seems to iron quicker and I have not burnt or stuck to anything yet. It is so quiet I keep thinking it is not working. I use starch to make the fabric harder and when the residue sticks to the soleplate I can wipe it off with a dry sponge and keep on keeping on. It also says that you can use tap water instead of requiring distilled water. I really like that it has color. It has a spout that make it easy to put water in and I can see where the water is and how much is there. So far it has not radomly sprayed out steam when the iron is moved so I haven't gotten burned yet.

Grabbed this based on good reviews. Purpose: dress shirts and pants and cotton blazers for 5T-men's XL. Frequency of use: 2-3xweek 10-30 min Pros: Nonstick plate Retractable cord Lots of steam on higher settings A little "slide" that makes adding water mess free Smooth glide Auto shut offs in multiple positions Price! Why pay $150 to press shorts and slacks? Cons: -Does not actually spray out water, instead it sort of dribbles out. Not a deal breaker considering the pros-I just use a fine mist spray bottle which probably serves my purposes better anyways - The tip doesn't get as hot as the rest of the plate for the fine work around buttons. Still does a good job, I'm just being very particular when it comes to stubborn folds. Sti workable I'm pleased. Still 5 stars because it's got smart little features and it's an improvement from my 8+ y/o model!

This iron heats up quickly and does a great job smoothing out wrinkles. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, and glides effortlessly over fabric. Clothes look crisp with minimal effort. That said, the cord is a bit too short, which makes it tricky to use if your outlet isn’t close by. I also noticed a small amount of water leakage when it's upright—not a dealbreaker, but worth mentioning. Still, overall a solid iron that gets the job done well. Just wish the design was a bit more practical.

Beautiful iron. Well made. It has a good size water reservoir and it's easy to use. I like the retractable cord. I like black and decker irons. The last a very long time. It heats up fast and gets wrinkles out well. I use mine alot for crafting. It's great on wool. It has many great features.

I've always liked Black+Decker items, and this iron does not disappoint! I will say this iron makes my old one look like a kid's toy: it's much bigger than I anticipated. But ... it heats up very quickly and the steam feature is quick and measured, making my life easier with getting my ironing done more quickly. This is one of the best products I have used, and the quality is phenomenal.

Lightweight and easy to use

Nice! Love the retractable cord 😍

The Black and Decker Vitessa Steam Iron does a great job with different fabrics. I use it to iron my clothes. It does a good job with wrinkle removal. This iron has six temperature control settings. Plus, this iron is solid for the price point.
