Black & Decker F1055 Steam Advantage Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate Review

Yes, I am an ironer and no, I do not iron my underwear, hurrr. Knock it off you haters with your wrinkly-ass clothes. Anyway, I had this iron for less than a year before I gave up on it. For starters, the control dial on the front is small and very hard to turn. Design-wise, the red plastic trim is very attractive looking, but it is way too dark to see the water level easily, which is a real pain. The soleplate got discolored and scratched up pretty fast and no matter what I tried I could never get it clean again. Then the burst of steam button got stuck in the down position. Eventually it would drift back up all the way, but when pushed down a time or two it would be stuck again. That will not do, I needs my steam. I'm not soured on B&D irons as a whole, I have had several in the past and they've served me well, but this model has some flaws.

Product Description:
Smooth out wrinkles quickly and easily with this versatile iron. The unit features an INOX stainless-steel soleplate for gentle, effortless gliding, plus a pointed tip that works well for getting into pleats, between buttons, and along seams. Its user-friendly controls provide a fabric-select dial, a dry/steam selector for choosing between dry ironing or steam ironing, and push buttons for spray mist and steam surge. Use the iron on a flat surface for traditional ironing or hold it upright for vertically steaming out wrinkles from curtains or hanging garments. The iron also provides a fabric guide with setting suggestions--1 for synthetics, 2 for nylon and silk, 3 for polyester and rayon, 4 for cotton blends, 5 for wools, and 6 for cotton and linen. Its Smart Steam technology automatically produces steam with the fabric-select dial between 4 and 6--the higher the setting, the more powerful the steam. Other highlights include a translucent water tank, an "on" indicator light, an anti-drip system that prevents water spotting at low temperatures, and an Auto Clean system for keeping the steam vents free from buildup, as well as a Comfort Grip handle, a 360-degree pivoting cord, and a slip-resistant heel. For safety and peace of mind, the iron will shut off automatically after 30 seconds of inactivity if left on its soleplate or tipped over on its side; if left vertically on its heel rest, it will shut off after eight minutes. The iron measures approximately 11-2/3 by 5 by 6-2/7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
