Disappointed
I have had this iron for a week. Used it once and now it won’t turn on and the water just runs out of the side. It wasn’t expensive but it had decent reviews on Amazon. Guess I should have checked this website first. It shows model 502 5066. I expected more from Black and Decker. I was trying to avoid another ROWENTA.

Safety feature failure
Safety feature for automatic shut off is not working. I’ve had this iron before and it worked. Not sure why this one does not that is definitely a hazard.

Non functioning safety features.
Safety Features do NOT work. Concerning when a safety feature does not work when some may be purchasing solely for that.

Straightforward and easy to use
Very easy to use. Does the job. I use it to iron my husband’s shirts in the morning and it has been really good and quick. No complaints. So far so good.

Clicking flashing nonstop
I have been using this for less than a month. The red light now flashes with the loud click. It will not stop despite all interventions suggested on the website. It still gets hot-but I do not like feeling compelled to iron at the rate the clicking makes like a possessed metronome. I would return-but alas Amazon has closed the window.

No heat
I got this as a gift and right out of the box- no heat. It clicks every so often but no heat.

Does a surface level job
The weight is nice because it’s very lightweight, which makes the iron easy to maneuver. The downside is that the actual iron plate it too small so it takes forever to iron anything because there isn’t enough surface area. The iron also did not heat up well, so it wasn’t doing a good job of removing any wrinkles. There’s no clasp to keep the water inside where you pour it in for the steam, so water spills and splashes around. Instructions are easy to follow. Overall, it’s not the most dependable iron or useful. It does a quick job but not detailed for wrinkle-removal. Would not purchase. I received this iron for free from Influenster

Worked great on different fabrics
My cat swatted my very expensive iron off the counter and ruined it right before this campaign. I was not expecting much from a much more utility iron than my previous fancy one, but I am delighted. I used this to iron a suit and a cocktail dress before a work trip and both were easy to do. I think this one actually moves over the fabric more smoothly than my old one did. Very happy with this. Hoping it stands the test of time!

Customers praise the lightweight design for reducing hand fatigue during extended use and appreciate the quick heating and intuitive controls that make ironing effortless. Reviewers commend the effective steam performance and SmartSteam technology for automatically adjusting output without guesswork, while fabric settings prevent damage to delicate materials. Many highlight strong value for the price and compact size ideal for small spaces. A few report rare issues with automatic shutoff or lowest heat settings producing no steam, but these concerns represent a small fraction of feedback. Overall, most customers consider it a reliable, no-fuss solution for occasional ironing.
