Black & Decker Digital Advantage — 

I have been through countless irons.     I finally concluded that I needed  a heavy iron that did not have a teflon coating.

 

The Black and Decker Digital advantage has served me well for over 4 years now - that's a record for me.     It does not have teflon on the plate.     I'm wondering now what purpose the teflon serves other than to flake off on my clothes.

 

The B&D has automatic turn off which is great for me because I frequently get distracted - it beeps to let you know it is turning off - a nice reminder to go finish up what I was doing.    It also beeps to let you know when your temperature setting has been reached.

 

It weighs about 4 pounds which is heavy enough to cut down on having to press so hard to get the wrinkles out of clothes.

 

I don't use the steam feature - I spray the clothes then iron them.

 

The price at amazon right now is under $35.  The Rowenta I was looking at runs about $75.   The features on the B&D are comparable to the Rowenta at a much better price.

this is the WORST iron I have used in 35 years of ironing! After only 13 months of use, I iron for myself only, it does not heat, digital lights do not work, no steam and leaks....leaks....leaks. For the price this is a rip-off. The one year warranity is just what it is....one year and the iron fails to work.
