Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker D2030 Auto-Off Digital Advantage Iron
Customer Review: ACTUALLY ENJOY IRONING NOW
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered the Black and Decker Digital Iron only after reading numerous reviews about it and also relying on the great review it had by Consumer Reports. Despite being a little leary about some comments of water leakage, I ordered it and absolutely LOVE it. It is not the lightest iron, but its weight gives stability. The STEAM release is OUTSTANDING and, although I like a little spray starch on my husband's shirts for a crisp look, it doesn't seem necessary now. The digital read is GREAT and I am a lot less apt to singe silk now with all the special levels for fabric choices and the beep that tells you when the specific setting is ready which doesn't take long at all. Since we have well water, I am using distilled water in my iron so as not to clog or affect any internal works with any elements that probably are in my well water. I have only had my iron a month and have used it weekly with pleasure(ironic for someone who hates ironing!)The only thing that disturbs me is that I read that this model has been discontinued and I wonder why as it is soooooo good. Nevertheless, I was glad to find it available at [...]and at a GREAT price! No more bringing the shirts to the cleaners to be pressed.Customer Review: B & D has done a great job with this iron

When the teflon coating started to peel off the plate of my Sunbeam iron, I decided to buy a new one and wanted to find one that had great steam operation. Consumer Reports gave this iron very high marks so I bought it from Amazon. This iron is light years ahead of most other irons. Only the Rowenta seems in the same league and it costs much more money. It has audible signals that tell you when it has reached the temperature for the fabric you are ironing. A large digital readout tells you the fabric and number of the setting. It reaches temperature very quickly...and here's the best part. The cotton setting irons cotton perfectly. The linen setting irons linen perfectly. On irons I've owned in the past, I would set it on maximum temperature for almost everything (accept meltables) and even then I'd have to pass over and over the fabric to get it smooth. I hate ironing, but after my first use of this iron, I was looking around to find anything I could find that needed ironing. I even ironed a king sized sheet!!!! It holds a lot of water and the steam operation is excellent. I was so impressed I sent out an e mail to every woman I know telling them about it. Very highly recommended.Customer Review: GREAT PRODUCT

I HAVE ALWAYS PURCHASED GERMAN MADE IRONERS BEFORE, AFTER MY EXPENSIVE ROWENTA STARTED TO COME APART, I STARTED TO READ THE CONSUMER REPORT ABOUT IRONERS. I WENT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT RETAIL OUTLET TO TRY OUT THE WEIGHT AND HANDLING OF DIFFERENT BRANDS BOTH EXPENSIVE AND LOW END IRONERS.
I DECIDED ON THE BLACK AND DECKER D2030, I ORDERED MINE FROM AMAZON SINCE IT HAS THE BEST PRICE $39.99, FREE SHIPPING AND NO SALES TAX.
I STARTED USING THE IRON IMMEDIATELY, I AM VERY PLEASE WITH THE PRODUCT, IT TAKES LESS TIME TO FINISH IRONING MY SONS SHIRTS. THIS IRONER HAS AN OUTPUT OF 1500 WATTS, GREAT HANDLING, VERY SMOOTH, GREAT STEAM I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO USE THE HIGHEST SETTING FOR STEAM, I HAVE SMALL HANDS AND THE GRIP ON THIS PRODUCT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE TO HANDLE. THE CHORD DID NOT GET IN THE WAY.THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I PURCHASED A BLACK AND DECKER IRON, I LIKE IT A LOT, HOPE THE DIGITAL LAST AS LONG AS THE IRONER, THAT WAS MY ONLY CONCERN SINCE IT HAS THE DIGITAL SCREEN.
I RATED THIS ITEM AS A GREAT PRODUCT, AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO PEOPLE WHO HAS TO STILL DO IRONING.
Customer Review: Best iron yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
My best friend told me several months ago that my iron sucked. It was the first iron I had owned out of college, and I didn't know any better. I was given an iron as a gift - a Shark - and it was even worse than the one I had. Then I bought this one off of Amazon based on the reviews and the price. And I have to say, I had no idea ironing was so fun! First of all, it doesn't take hours to get the wrinkles out. One or two passes of the iron, and the wrinkles are gone! Second, unlike the Shark, this iron doesn't rust when you leave water inside. The instructions explicitly say you don't have to empty the iron! I mean, I barely have time to iron in the morning. I certainly don't have time to be running back and forth to the sink. I've only owned the iron for a week, but it's great! The only negative is that a light stays on when the iron remains plugged in. Since the plug in the room where I iron isn't in the most convenient location, I like to leave the iron plugged in. However, this iron has an enormous red light that stays on even when the iron is off.Customer Review: Excellent - Read for Ironing Tips!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished ironing 4 dress shirts in less than 30 mins - knowing tricks helps, but the quality of this iron is hard to be rivaled.
This iron, out of the box is amazing. It's hefty, holds lots of water, emits a lot of steam and because of it's weight you don't have to force the wrinkles out; it just glides over the material. The iron holds nearly 2 1/2 cups of water and heats amazingly fast.
Ironing tip below! [For those of us who've had to cut out the cleaners in the midst of a recession.]
This order makes the job much faster and not counter-productive:
1. Sleeves
2. Shoulders
3. Back
4. Buttons
5. Yoke (side with buttonholes)
6. Collar
When using starch: only starch the collar, top of the sleeves and the yoke - this way your shirt doesn't appear stiff, just well ironed.
Shifty ironing board? I put rubber bands on the feet of the ironing board to keep it still so I don't have any accidents.
Highly recommended!
