I bought this based on great reviews on Amazon, and I did not go wrong. The best features I like is , auto shut-off if not in use for some time (safety issue), very simple buttons and a clearn steel surface which maintains its quality after long use. Using it since one and half year and kudos to its performance & quality. It's been the best iron I have bought so far.
I have bought many B&D irons but have bought my last. Twice I have spent over $50 for a Black and Decker iron that only lasted 6 months, they used to stand for quality, the service centers no longer support them either.
I am looking to buy another one so that I have it just in case this one dies off. It will shut off if you forget the iron on and that saves energy and even your house from burning in some cases. I'd actually buy 2 if it was available on amazon. It is an awesome light iron and nothing sticks on the plates. It does not even compare to her Rowenta, which makes such a hissing noise. The pointy design makes it easy to iron even narrow places in some shirts.
My mom has been looking to get one too, but she can't find it on sale at the stores. I've had this iron for 4 years and I iron pretty much everything I wash, including jeans, socks, towels and sheets. It has auto shut off advantage, and that has come to my rescue many many times. I've had it for 4 years and I use it a lot during the week.
Gets hot fast, lots of steam, easy to handle and easy to set controls. It's plastic and could have been made better but mine is fine.
I especially like the fact it can steam in the vertical position so I can blast out wrinkles while on the hanger. I have a tendency to accidentally move the steam setting wheel while ironing because it's placed near the grip.
Just don't rip it open and it should be ok. Turns off automatically when sitting which is important.
I really like this iron. I've read complaints about the little cover breaking off where you fill the water.
Nice long cord.
An appliance repair person once told me that heat and electronics don't mix, but this is the 21st century. This new iron (2030 also) along with my previous irons (Rowenta, B&D,T-Fall) have the same problem. My new present iron stopped working after 9 - 12 months. Product return was somewhat painless but I'm out the $9 dollars return shipping. Bad luck or this is the way irons "tend" to work. I've owned this model (2030) for two years. not staying hot during the ironing cycle.
