BLACK+DECKER The Classic Iron, F67E-T, Aluminum Soleplate, Steam or Dry Ironing, 7 Temperature Settings, Anti-Drip

If you want a basic iron, that has some weight to it, that works extremely well, heats up quickly but also shuts itself off when not used in a certain time frame, then this little Black & Decker iron is for you.This is the second one I've purchased. Ive tried the more expensive brands but they can't compare to the smooth glide over all fabric types of this little gem.This a no frills iron, but it has all the necessary components (steam, different settings, an ample cord) and it gets the job done.When this one cease to handle the job, I will purchase another one.Excellent value for the money !!!

I want you to know I saved all the ironing this week for the arrival of this iron. This is one of the most inexpensive irons offered here at Amazon. It's also better than the others. After one overpriced T-Fal and one even more overpriced Rowenta, I am convinced that 1) some things are better left unchanged and 2) One should never fix that which is not broken. Therefore, I have returned to my ironing roots. This is like the iron I grew up using. This is the type of iron that never let me down. Not fussy. Not awkward. The right size. Not built like it belongs on a spaceship. And most of all........Not made entirely of cheap plastic.I can honestly say I am sorry I wasted my money on the expensive irons because none of them handled, ironed or made me feel as comfortable as Ye Old Black and Decker The-Way-It-Was-And-The-Way-It-Should-Stay Steam Iron.It does what an iron is supposed to do and, if placed on its heel (the way I learned how to iron), it doesn't shut off on you 15 times while you are trying to iron a batch of clothing and want to stop and do something else for a minute. If given the choice, I would really revert back to the old days when irons didn't have an automatic shutoff at all. I mean, if you are that ditzy that you can't remember to turn the iron off, well I honestly don't know what to tell you. I'm sure our lawmakers, instead of doing something useful, made some kind of law about irons automatically shutting off so that the person using it can be tortured. This iron does have an auto shutoff, and it's very fast and annoying if you put the soleplate directly on the ironing board, which is an invitation to scortching something. However, if rested on its heel, you have 8 minutes. This is enough time to adjust things or answer the phone without returning to an iron that's not hot enough.I agree with other comments that this is also a heavy iron. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't irons SUPPOSED to be heavy enough to press out wrinkles? A heavy iron means you don't have to push and do the work when pressing seams or things like jeans. And if you are a cat owner, you understand when I say that I know for a fact that, sooner or later, your 20-pound cat Rodney is going to knock that iron right off the board. Okay, I mean MY 20-pound cat Rodney. At least with this iron and its steel base, you won't be sweeping up a heap of plastic pieces if it hits the floor -- and chances are good it will still do the job, just like the old days. I don't know this for certain. Yet. But heck, it's a lot less painful paying $19 bucks for another iron than it is buying another useless plastic oversized Rowenta.Listen, I would prefer not to iron at all, but barring that possibility, at least now I own an iron that does what it is supposed to do without spitting, sputtering and switching itself off every time I walk to the closet to get another hanger.Get this iron, learn to rest it on its heel, and put yourself out of your ironing misery. And save yourself some bucks besides.

Wife loves it!I had purchased a fancy new one for her but she hated it because it was too big, too light, and heat element cycled on and off. So, it goes unused...But she LOVES this one. She likes its heavy weight, continuous steam, and its reliability.

I've had this iron for a few months, I wanted to test it out and get a feel for it before I reviewed it.Overall it's an excellent iron. It works very well, you can use with and without water, depending what you are ironing and if you need steam or not. It keeps the desired temperature too and auto shuts off if it realizes it's been laying horizontal for too long without movement, which is a great safety feature.I originally got this because I remembered it from my youth but I can't remember who had it, it's an old design but very functional.One thing to be aware of is that it's heavier than it appears. I got this for my mother when her lightweight iron broke and she's annoyed by the weight of this one. I use it when I'm over and I didn't mind. So maybe consider your age or the person's age when you're buying this.

My family does LOTS of ironing; from crafts to dress clothes... we always have the iron running. We love this iron because it's heavy-duty and feels high quality (not light and flimsy plastic). We don't use the steam so much, but when we do, we've never had a problem. I like that temperature is easy to control and there is only a single knob and not so many "bells & whistles"... it's an iron, not the space shuttle.

I’m very pleasantly surprised by this iron. I’m a seamstress so ironing is part of my existence. I ordered this iron after my Rowenta started leaking and was finicky about even turning on. This is a solid iron with good weight to it and steams beautifully. I think it’s my favorite iron to date. I’m glad I took a chance on it. You can’t beat the price for this quality!

Finally I threw away my old iron that wss still working after 20 years and purchased this iron.I like the heaviness and the shape of this iron, which seems old-fashioned to my liking. Heavy irons are easy to work with for me. No need to press down - just glide. The temperature control is easy to adjust and the steam works constantly well without dripping water on clothes while ironing.At first filling the water, I was worried about the water filling hole in front that has no cover, but it wasn’t a problem at all. Rather, I wish it showed the water level clearly. Not a problem if I need to fill just a little amount of water, but it is difficult to fill the water full without spilling. Maybe I should’ve measured the amount of water more carefully. And it would’ve been nice to come with a plastic beaker like my old iron. I wish I’d kept the beaker when I got rid of my old iron. And the obtuse shape might not be ideal for some delicate or sharp corners.All in all, if it continues to work for a long time like my old one, I’d be happy with this iron.
