Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker D6000 All-Temp Steam Iron with Stainless-Steel SoleplateCustomer Review: Great Iron. Wrinkle Free Clothes. Summary: 5 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I've had it for a few weeks now, and I think that this iron is absolutely great. It has a couple of really small annoyances, which I will explain below.
First of all, let me talk about the steam. The first time I used it, I was ironing some dress shirts. I started to see smoke underneath the ironing board and i thought that the iron was burning my board! I realized that there was just so much steam pressure that the steam it was making its way through the shirt fabric and through the liner on the ironing board!
The steam is great. I had left a few of my garments out of the dryer for a couple of days and some of the clothes had some nasty wrinkles. I just steamed those parts and the wrinkles disappeared. The amount of steam is also really great for ironing collars and keeping them crisp.
I also am a big fan of the digital display. You know exactly what fabric setting you are on and the buttons on the side are easy to push to turn the temperature up and down.
I didn't find filling the iron difficult at all opposed to some of the other reviews here. Actually, it seemed pretty normal. I guess weight is a trade-off. I loved the fact that the iron was a little heavier (think of the weight as a 1/2 full carafe of coffee). To me it didn't feel cheap and I think it did a better job of ironing because of it. I don't really get why this is such a bad thing in other reviews because the iron really glides easily on most fabrics; I couldn't even really feel the weight at all!
There also a couple of subtle things that I really like about the iron. First of all, I like that that the iron is angled down towards the front. I feel like this makes it a little easier to iron. I also like how the cord can move around at the back. The grip is nice, and I personally like the color scheme. It has all the features that we consider standard these days like auto-off and the clear chamber for water so you can see the level.
Vertical Steam is pretty cool, but the cord is kinda shorter than my other irons, so you might need an extension cord.
I did see that the iron leaks. It wasn't a big deal though, for me it was a couple of drops immediately after I filled it (I've seen this in all of my irons) that go away right after you iron over that area. For me, it wasn't as dramatic as some of the others describe.
The only other quirk that I thought was a little bit annoying was that the power button is on the side of the digital display. You can't really just use one finger to shut it off because you need more pressure to press the button down than is require to push the iron over when its standing or sideways when its in "ironing position".
I feel that those little things don't compare to how well the iron actually does its job...TO IRON CLOTHES and leave them WRINKLE FREE!!! At [...] bucks, how can you even consider buying a Rowenta?
