Very poor-quality iron from Black & Decker

The water-fill opening was separated from the iron upon opening the package. It is bent up and will not attach to the iron. Also, the temperature selector does not operate smoothly. I have owned a classic traditional steam iron in the past, and the iron I bought today is nowhere near the quality of the iron I used to own. I will be returning this. My advice to anyone who is considering buying this brand to reconsider and look elsewhere.

Heirloom Iron still amazing!

This is the same as the old GE (General Electric) iron manufactured and used since the 1950s and 1960s. It is the iron used in the household I grew up in. It is important for an iron to have weight and steam and an accurate temperature dial. This iron delivers and is worth every penny and is preferable to all others. Make sure you get one and keep it. It is an heirloom iron. I like to sew, quilt, and iron to achieve accurate patchwork piecing. I also like clothing that is well ironed to look my best.

Original is best!!!

My old Classic had been used for over 30 years. Would not have any other iron!!!

Nice and heavy to get the job done.

The iron itself works well, but the moving parts come apart easily

Good but is not anti-drip

Even if the water reservoir isn't full, it still sloshes water out of the water fill opening. There should be a plug or guard so that the water doesn't slosh out.

Great Steam Iron!!

Love the feel of this Iron! Not heavy and does the job! I love that it has an automatic shut off button so even if you forget to turn it off, you have a peace of mind. The steam setting is awesome - gets those stubborn wrinkles out! The different temperature setting is a needed feature to ensure your clothes get ironed correctly. Would definitely recommend getting this steam iron!

Customers overwhelmingly praise this iron for reliable, professional-level wrinkle removal with powerful steam and quick heating. Many highlight its heavy-duty construction and substantial weight as key to effectiveness, with several comparing it favorably to vintage irons. The retro design is widely admired, and practical features like the pivoting cord, auto shut-off, and fabric temperature guide enhance usability. Most find it glides smoothly and requires minimal effort. A few report minor issues with temperature consistency or water spillage, but overall, reviewers strongly recommend it as a durable, effective ironing tool.

AI Review Summary

AI-generated from customer ratings & reviews, and may include incentivized reviews.

Hi! I have birds so I have to be very careful with anything that heats up, because nonstick coatings become toxic to birds when heated. Does this iron have any nonstick coatings like Teflon, PFOA/PFOS/PTFE? If so can you recommend a model that doesn't?

My classic iron is not even a year old but it leaks water. Is there any way to stop this?

I have stains on the plate of my steam iron. It isn't even a year old, do you have any way to fix this?

What is the maximum temperature of the black and decker classic steam iron?

I purchased this iron about one month ago on Amazon. I contacted black and decker who guided me to contacting you. It was working great but then started leaking from the bottom  Not sure what to do

Patsy w1

Just bought this iron---works great! Is it normal for the cord to exit iron downward half-inch, then have a bend (almost a crease) when resting on heel?
