Q: Hi, the red light is on to indicate that the iron is heating up. But it stays on. How do I know that the temperature is reached or the light is supposed to turn off when the temperature is reached?
submitted by Diane - 2 years ago
A: Thank you for your question regarding your Black+Decker Steam Iron. The indicator light will stay on to show that the iron is getting power. You will want to allow the iron to heat up for at least two minutes to reach the set temperature. If you need further assistance, please contact me at youropinionmatters@spectrumbrands.com and reference ID number 42364209 so that I may be able to better assist you.

Q: I see a red tape, possibly a joint when the cord is fully pulled out. Anyone else see an electrical tape used to insulate joints at the very end or is mine used? I haven't removed the tape yet to see if it is indeed a joint as the iron worked fine.
submitted by Sunny - 5 years ago
A: Thank you for your interest in this Black + Decker iron. The red tape on the cord indicates the maximum length the cord should be extended. Please do not attempt to pull the cord out any further, as there may not be enough tension left to retract the cord properly. If you need further assistance, I’d be happy to help! Please contact us at youropinionmatters@spectrumbrands.com and reference 42009816 so that we may better assist you.

Q: Can this iron be used at any temperature withOUT steam? I want a hot temp, but no steam for certain craft things.
submitted by KK - 5 months ago
A: Thank you for your question regarding the Black+Decker Steam Iron. To dry iron (no steam) use SmartSteam™ settings 1–3, or for high heat simply empty the water tank. Once preheated, press the Burst of Steam button a few times to fully empty the water tank before ironing.

Wren - 1 month ago
Pretty early on the retractable cord got tangled inside about halfway. It was still useable so I didn't bother returning it, though I should have. It bothers me a lot that there's no way to take apart the bottom section where the cord sits. I will continue to use it until it dies, but please make your items repairable!

We iron clothing frequently and were looking for better performance and found it in this iron! The only suggestion I would make is to make the markings on the dial more visible. It is difficult to see the icons to know which heat level is being selected.

Poor Design
1 out of 5 stars
I am Ironman - 2 months ago
originally posted on blackanddeckerappliances.com
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sorry B & D, very poor design. For this I have to give just one star. If you can't add water without spilling everywhere, your steam iron just doesn't work for me. The iron's water well is too dark and you can't see how much water is being added causing you to overfill the iron. I've tried using a flashlight to illuminate the dark plastic water well while adding water and the plastic was still too dark to really see the water. There's too much to control, adding water, holding a flashlight and trying to see the water level is just too much to do to get water in this iron. The position of the temp control dial is always being bumped when in use. These two very inconvenient design flaws will force me to return the iron to the store. I have one question; Did anyone try using this iron before you put it on the market?

The self retracting cord has permanently retracted itself. It will no longer allow me to extend the cord to plug it in. The iron is now useless after almost only one year of use.

This replaced a a clunky one I've had for years where the cord was supposed to spin around and move with you- hardly. The retractable cord is desirable because my old irons cord would never stay wrapped. It does take a little guidance to get the cord to retract but it does and I am very happy. Oh, yeah, it irons well, too.
