BLACK+DECKER IR03V Easy Steam Compact Iron, Blue

Easy of using

It was a sad day when I finally had to buy an iron and learn to use it. This one was inexpensive and well-reviewed (elsewhere, not just on Amazon). It was simple enough to use and got the job done. I don't need to iron enough to buy an ironing board, so I used a folded towel on a table. I can't speak to its durability since I mostly avoid buying clothes that require ironing.

Great iron at a low price. While i personally prefer heavy weight irons, this one is super light weigtht, but does it's job right. The only problem i have with this particular iron is it doesn't have dry heat. For example, when i want to attach the patch or fusible backing, its says to use hottest heat without any steam. This iron goes to the highest setting heat with steam only( can't have dry heat). Other than that- great iron. Blue plastic is see though- so you can easily see how much water is still inside- which is a good bonus

I wanted to put 4 stars in but the issue is little and I didn't want someone decide on a 4 star rating when it is a 5 star product. HOWEVER, there is no cap on the water resevoir and water comes a little too easily. Now, keep in mind I do this for a living, so to speak, so I'm faster than a normal person might be. Just a little tiny irritation.

IT IS DURABLE AND GOOD QUALITY FOR THE PRICE ....GOOD SEAMING POWER . IRONS WELL . EASY TO USE .

It's a good iron, it functions like it should, takes out wrinkles well. My only issue is that as I'm moving the iron back and forth, the water from the inside seems to be spilling out? Either I'm ironing too fast or it's just a fault with the product. The water wasn't filled to the top, not even close. Is there some kind of cover for the little water inserter? Also when you finish ironing a part and lift the iron up, it tends to spaz and spray some water out..a little weird but the iron's still good. Don't expect anything fabulous, but B&D should have noticed the flaws or added a finishing touch, unless its only my iron that spills water. Overall, it's good enough for the price :)

I bought this to replace my GE Light n Easy iron that gave out after about 30 years. I'm accustomed to a light iron, and in that regard this one does not disappoint. It's quite a bit larger than my old iron. I expected something smaller, given the light weight. They kept the size of a traditional iron and shaved off weight by making the bulk of it from thin plastic. Time will tell how it will hold up. The plastic is bright blue and translucent, a bit like a blueberry iMac, but useful.I haven't used it much yet but I can tell you it got hot in a flash, and the ironing surface is smooth as silk. U doubt if I'll get 30 years out of this one, but if it lasts 10 I'll be pleased.

The iron works like a gem! I have read all the reviews, and honestly, I do not have any problems with the iron leaking water. I got it to iron my uniforms and it did a great job. I think if you over fill the iron, it will leak water. I also see that the water button is right by your thumb, so if you push it, you'll get water as you are suppose to. Hey, its a great iron for the price. I cant speak to anyone else, but I have had no problems. I think people need to just see for themselves it works for me well :)!
