About BLACK+DECKER IR40V Steam Compact Iron
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
91% found the design lightweight, yet 9% were disappointed
I noticed that the iron is extremely lightweight and appears to be shoddily made.
70% were impressed with water tank capacity, while 30% weren't
The water tank does not have a cover, causing water to easily splash out when filled.
I emptied out half of the water and was left with a fourth of the capacity, but it still spilled out, indicating insufficient tank capacity.
While ironing, I noticed that the iron spits water even when the tank is filled to the max level.
74% found the temperature control helpful, yet 26% faced problems
I was surprised that the iron couldn't be turned off with the temperature dial and had to be unplugged instead.
I absolutely dislike the iron because I can't control the steam option and it has burned some of my clothes. The steam only comes out when the temperature setting is on high.
When I set the temperature dial between 4-6 and activate the intelligent steam, the temperature control does not work properly.
73% liked the steam output, however 27% didn't
At temperature setting of 4, the steam output is too much for thin cotton fabrics and could be just right for thicker fabrics.
68% liked the steam burst function, although 32% encountered issues
I noticed that the manual shows burst of steam and steam buttons on one side while on iron they are in opposite position.
I experienced an electrical short that caused steam and hot water to spew from the iron orifices, soaking the surrounding area with water and creating a sauna-like effect.

The steam function of the iron is really loud and annoying. It makes ridiculous and continual puffs when I set it down to move my shirt to a new section to iron.
70% appreciated the auto shut-off, whereas 30% raised concerns
I noticed that the iron shuts off every 20 seconds and must be turned upright to restart. Other irons auto shut off after 5 or 10 minutes.

85% appreciated the anti-drip feature, whereas 15% raised concerns
Despite being advertised as no-drip, I have noticed that the iron produces water droplets out of steam holes that cause water spots on linens.
Once the iron dissipates its little heat, it drips all over my garment.
From the first use, the iron dripped badly and constantly, which is opposite to what the product claims.
I have experienced dripping of water while ironing even though 'Anti Drip' is listed as a feature. I have ironed over the water and dried it up.
