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

Was so tired of expensive "better brand" irons not lasting....something always went wrong with them. We had one of these at our shore house when I was a kid and you can't kill these! So I bought a new one. It's heavy, so it does the work instead of you having to take a running start to put enough pressure on an iron to get wrinkles out. It steams and heats up...that's it...no bells and whistles. It is smaller and so the water needs to be filled more often, but it works great! I love it! Sometimes it's better to go with the "old fashioned" things to get the job done right.

Pretty much like the iron I grew up with, but updated. This iron is considerably heavier than most modern irons. That may be an issue for some people. It works well, heats up fast, and steam irons my cotton shirts and pillowcases beautifully. It has an automatic shot off and so far, no leaks.

I love, love, love this iron. It is so yesterday, but it works SO well. You can hot iron with no water and get a great iron job, BUT, you can also use water (tap, yea) and get that great steamed look!! Not easy to find this type of iron today, but well worth it!!

Bought this Black & Decker iron mostly for sewing but also general ironing of clothes. I had a previous iron made specifically for sewing but after less than 2 years it started leaking and the steam button broke, so I started looking for a new one. This Black & Decker one was old school, no frills, heavier weight and I’d heard some good things about it so decided to try.I filled it with distilled water (surprisingly the manual actually suggests regular tap water) and ran it over a scrap piece first, since some reviews mentioned getting black factory residue on the first few swipes. It worked well and produces plenty of steam, with clear guides for which heat settings produce steam and which don’t, and a steam on/off button. Got wrinkles out of cotton canvas no problem with a single pass, and is nice and heavy. I appreciate that it has an auto-shut off if left on its side or soleplate after 30 seconds, or if left standing after 8 minutes.Some cons:• Despite the test piece I did end up getting a black smear on a white t-shirt - I then noticed that there was residue all around the sides of the plate which I had to wipe and scrub off with a paper towel. I really wish they’d cleaned it up better during manufacturing so it would actually be ready to use out of the box. Don’t iron anything important right away and make sure it’s wiped clean!• The sole plate has a visibly bumpy texture to it and doesn’t glide as smoothly as my old iron - I would be a bit worried about ironing delicate fabrics like silk or satin with this that could potentially snag or run.• The cord placement makes it so that that when standing, it gets bent. That’s gonna be a weak point over time. Surely they could have designed that better?• There’s no spray nor manual steam burst optionI wanted this because it was no frills but I admit I miss some of the “frills” of my previous irons - for example, the fill tank on this doesn’t have a door to close so if you angle it the wrong way water spills out. My old iron also had a function that beeped to let you know it was still on after a few minutes standing - this one has a light but doesn’t beep so you have to rely on the auto shut-off if you accidentally leave it on.Ultimately I went into this thinking it’d be a great old-school iron but between the factory grease, rough-feeling soleplate, and cord placement I would say this is only $30 for a reason. It's working well and I'll continue using it for now but will probably seek out something nicer in the future.

Good iron. Easy to read the dials. Got some weight to it and is similar to irons I owned years ago. I hate ironing, but not so much with this iron. Reasonable price.

It is heavier than most but looks just like the irons I grew up with. It does a great job and I am very happy with it!

The Black and Decker Steam iron is identical to the one I had for 25 years which just failed. Being that it has some weight to it makes it even better when pressing items that have some wrinkling after washing. It presses beautifully and glides well. It is not overly heavy and does not stick to the material. It removes not only small creases but larger ones. The weight feels the same as it did with my previous iron. It is styled the same along with chrome and black coloring. I was extremely pleased that it was still available after so many years. The purchase price was not at all expensive. A really great value for the money.

I like that this iron is heavy because it presses wrinkles out better. I like the size of the sole plate. The controls are easy to use. It IS difficult to know how much water is in the tank but that’s ok with me. If it quits making steam I know to add water and I always empty it when I’m through. I wish it were more stable sitting on the base. But I like how it handles its primary job which is to press and to iron. The retro style makes me feel like I have a solid, dependable tool and feels good as I’m using it. Those looking for a sleek, colorful design should move on. If you want a solid ironing experience then this is for you..
