Vitessa Advanced Steam Iron, ICR2020, Even Steam Nonstick Soleplate, Auto Shutoff, Tangle-Free Retractabel Cord, Green

I love this iron. I bought a Black and Decker in 1990's the only problem with it is that the soleplate is damaged and it sticks to everything. I decided to get another one that I hope will last as long as that one has. The weight on this iron is perfect for me. It is considerably lighter than my old one but still has weight. I have old boxes of fabric that I am using to make quilts and is not just cotton but different kinds of polyester combination materials, some are stretchy and some are not. It seems to iron quicker and I have not burnt or stuck to anything yet. It is so quiet I keep thinking it is not working. I use starch to make the fabric harder and when the residue sticks to the soleplate I can wipe it off with a dry sponge and keep on keeping on. It also says that you can use tap water instead of requiring distilled water. I really like that it has color. It has a spout that make it easy to put water in and I can see where the water is and how much is there. So far it has not radomly sprayed out steam when the iron is moved so I haven't gotten burned yet.

Very nice iron best one I had in years irons very smooth

After 15+ years, my previous Black+Decker iron started to singe clothes, so it was time for a new one. I decided to stick with Black+Decker due to the longevity of my previous iron and overall, the iron itself works great! The four-stars is for a couple of minor things: 1. The retractable cord can sometimes be a little "janky" and 2. The dial is difficult to turn, but does heat properly. Overall, I'm happy with the iron!

Works great. Recommend.

I’ve had this iron for a little less than 3 months, and really felt like I was starting to understand its quirks. First of all, it takes a while to heat up. It is also kinda heavy and the steam only works on the highest setting. However, after having for a little less than 3 months, it stopped heating up, requiring me to purchase a new iron. Save yourself the money and headache and purchase a different one.

I love the auto retractable cord! Steam works very well.

An amazing, so easy to use iron. I use it mostly to steam my wrinkles out of my clothes and it's convenient and easy. I highly recommend.
