About BLACK+DECKER IR16X One-Step Garment Steam Iron
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
80% were impressed with water tank capacity
The iron is easy to fill with water and has a see-through side that shows the water level, so I know when to refill it.
84% found the temperature control helpful, yet 16% faced problems
I have an iron with precise temperature control that will not melt or damage fabric.
When trying to get a delicate garment out, the iron tends to leak a bit at lower temps.
Even at the highest temperature setting, I cannot iron a wrinkled cotton shirt quickly with this iron.
70% liked the steam output
When using the steam function, the iron does not drip water.
79% liked the steam burst function, although 21% encountered issues
I appreciate the location of the push buttons for steam and spraying on the handle, which makes uninterrupted ironing possible.
I like being able to use the spray mist and burst of steam functions intentionally, and the anti-drip feature is also nice.
The steam shooting function can be finicky and works about 90% of the time. Sometimes, I have to wait for a minute or more to get the heat to be able to steam.
91% found the design lightweight
The design of the iron puts its weight forward on a smaller heat plate, making it easy to use.
I find the iron to be lightweight with a smooth nonstick surface that glides over the material being ironed.
78% appreciated the auto shut-off, whereas 22% raised concerns
The iron has an auto shut-off feature that turns the heat off and stays in standby mode when I go away from it. It takes only 30 seconds to heat back up when I return.
I like the auto-off feature of the iron which prevents accidents when I forget to shut it off.
The auto shut-off feature turns off too quickly, which is inconvenient for quilting as the iron turns off by the time I sew seams after stitching.
73% appreciated the anti-drip feature, whereas 27% raised concerns
When I use the steam function, the iron does not drip water.
The iron's auto shut off feature is annoying and cannot be deactivated.
