Black & Decker D2030 Digital Advantage Iron October 24, 2008
I've had this iron for about a month already and have used it a few times. So far it's performing quite well, if not better than my previous Rowenta. The Digital Advantage iron does produce a lot more steam than the Rowenta I owned previously. I'm taking less time to iron than before. I particularly like the burst of steam that it produces. Overall, I'm very happy with this iron; and for $50+ you can't go wrong. One advise to other owners regarding the lid for the water tank is that when you open the lid, try supporting the "hinge" (where the lid is connected to the iron) with your thumb to avoid pulling the lid too far back and break the connection. Hope this info helps.

Easy and simple October 21, 2008
I was uncertain at first because my old Black and Decker Auto-Off was small and compact and easy to store. But I am sold. This is easy to use, irons in half the time of my other, good steam spurts, and easy to shut off...even keeps a light on to remind you it's plugged in.

Only thing is it uses up the water quickly..but now I just remember to fill it before each time I set down to do a load of ironing.

Not As Good October 20, 2008
I love to iron and a good iron is very important to me. I had been using the Rowenta for years until it died. After much research I went with the B&D. I love the steam, BUT I don't like the fact the steam dial terns off by itself (this is my second B&D in one month and the other one did the same thing). AND, after maybe 5-10 hours of ironing, it says it has to be cleaned again. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!!! Can anyone out there recommend
a good iron?

In a crowded field of irons, this stands out. October 18, 2008
I was researching irons and this was highly rated in a popular consumer ratings magazine. I took their advice and purchased it from Amazon and do not regret my decision.

The Black & Decker D2030 iron does what a iron should to. It gives you a suitable range of temperature settings, it gives you a variety of ways to apply water to the clothing you are ironing (steam, spray, surge), it has a nice long cord and it has just the right amount of heft that makes it feel like a good quality iron. The handle is very comfortable in the hand because the top side of the handle is not hard plastic like many other irons. I also like the fact that you can easily see the actual water level through the translucent water tank.

The backlit LCD digital display is easy to read and it is comforting to know that there is an auto-shutoff that will take care of any forgetfulness to unplug the iron when finished using it or if you are unexpectedly taken away from your task of ironing.

Setting temperature is accomplished by pushing a small button at the base of the LCD display until the desired fabric type is reached. I'd personally prefer a dial to choose temperature setting simply because I'm a visual kind of person and it's easier for me to dial in the right setting rather than press a button a multiple number of times to arrive at the "6" setting for cotton, for instance. But the method this iron uses is OK and I do like the audible beep that lets you know the iron has reached the selected temperature.

There only a couple things that I'm not totally pleased with...

-The provided filling container for the iron water reservoir is a joke. It is cheesy and does not hold enough water to actually fill the iron's reservoir in one fell swoop. It takes a couple trips to the faucet for that to happen.

-The cap that closes the spout where you fill the iron with water is of dubious durability. I've owned this iron for 8 months and the cap has not broken off yet, but there are numerous reports of other people not being so lucky. You do need to handle the cap gingerly because it does not seem to be very robust in its construction.

-The steam volume dial is not designed or placed very well. I am continually and inadvertently hitting the dial with my thumb while ironing which causes the dial to spin so that the steam is turned off. This is quite annoying and after 8 months, I -still- haven't been able to train myself not to hit the darn thing while I'm ironing. I'm right handed by the way and maybe this wouldn't be an issue for left handed users, although I'm not certain.

This iron performs quite well overall. I am happy with it. My wife loves it. The price is right and in spite of it's shortcomings, it rates a solid 4.

Love my iron October 17, 2008
I never thought that I would love an iron. This is the best iron that I have had. It glides with ease no matter what fabric that I am ironing. I love the auto off. There I times that I may get distracted while ironing and there is no worry about the iron running forever. The steam on the iron is wonderful. I have no problem with water dripping from the iron. I would highly recommend the iron to anyone. And have.
