Black & Decker D2020 Iron with Auto Shut-off

Pros: digital display with fabric settings.  Very good ironing.  Gets quite hot.

Cons: A little more difficult to use.

The Bottom Line: High tech digital settings.  Gets hotter than our old unit.  A little more odd to hold and use.  Overall, a great product. 

Review: Bought my better half a new digital clothes iron by Black and Decker, called the Digital Advantage.I bought this iron for only $12 at a close-out section of a local store.  It is refurbished  by the factory and sold in a plain box with ...

Pros: quick to heat up, works great

Cons: heavy (con for some)

Review: I registered for this iron when we got married last summer. I chose this one because it was a Consumer Reports best buy. I have been very pleased with its performance. It heats up quickly, glides well, and presses wrinkles well. I use the steam burst ...

Pros: It works

Cons: The digital heat setting has to be increased before it can be decreased.

The Bottom Line: The iron works as it should, includes all the features I can think of, and isn't expensive.

Review: WHY Early December, our last iron (a Sunbeam)started leaking and spitting so it was time for a replacement. I don't know if it's the cause or effect, but we never invest much money in the irons we buy, because we never seem to hold on to one too ...

Pros: Cover on water fill opening

Cons: Takes a long time to empty the water.

Review: I purchased this iron after my 100 dollar plus Rowenta died in the middle of ironing. It lasted only 3 years. Pretty sad for a 100 dollar iron. I did some research on the Internet plus a popular consumer magazine for the best iron and this one kept ...

Pros: 10minute Auto-off vertical. Beeps when at temperature and auto-off. Large opening for water.

Cons: 10 minute shutdown when immobile horizontally&tipped over. Beep is too quiet to be useful.

The Bottom Line: Do not buy, 10 minute shut-down in horizontal or tipped-over condition is too long to be safe.

Review: Sept 7, 2007 I purchased the B&D D2020 from Target for $40, and promptly returned it the next day. I have had a B&D iron for over 10 years and it worked very well all this time, it gave me a healthy beep that I could hear from the other room when the ...

Pros: Quick, accurate, no guesswork

Cons: Not reliable, performance and lifetime poor in new product

The Bottom Line: The purchase of this iron should not have to be a crap-shoot. Would not purchase again.

Review: I purchased two of these irons in the last two years - one in 2006 and one in January 2007 both for regular, typical household use. I purchased the digital edition because a relative had one and there are clear digital settings per type of clothing. The ...

Pros: light and heated up quickly

Cons: after ironing 3 shirts, it overheated and burned through cover on board

Review: I purchased this iron as an upgrade and gift to myself. The iron worked very well for 3 months. While ironing shirts and with no other warning the iron started beeping and it heated up to a temperature that burned right through the ironing board cover, ...

Pros: Good while it worked

Cons: Died after 6 hours use

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this iron. Short lifespan.

Review: B&D calls this a digital advantage iron. I have renamed it a B&D digital dis-advantage iron. After having previously used a no-name basic iron for many years which finally broke when it fell off the ironing board I decided to "get with it" and buy a ...

Pros: Features, performance

Cons: Just another example of retail junk - hazardous, at that

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this iron, unless you are hoping to get lucky. Might want to try an analog (non-digital) one instead. Very disappointed in B&D.

Review: My wife did research and shopped around, looking for a good quality iron. Black & Decker is (was) a good name for household appliances, and this iron has the features we wanted, so we bought it. First off, the price was fair, and the features were ...

Pros: It worked okay when it worked.

Cons: Unreliable, potential fire hazard

The Bottom Line: Do not buy this iron; it is a dangerous product.

Review: I bought two Black and Decker D2020 irons in June, one for myself and one for my step-daughter, who was getting married. I had read some positive reviews on line, and it sounded like it was reliable and easy to use. It worked fine at first, and I ...
