Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker AS75 Quickpress Iron with Variable Steam and Nonstick Soleplate
Customer Review: Bought as a replacement, seems fine
Summary: 4 Stars
I will update this review after a few uses but so far it seems like it is an economical replacement for my old iron. My old one had one of those button-push retractable cords. Over time, it got to the point where the cord would either not stay out or would be a hassle to put back in.Customer Review: Can't beat the price
Summary: 4 Stars
Awesome value!
But it kinda leaks a little sometimes :-/
Overall great buy for a student on a budget :-)
Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently (November '07) purchased a Black and Decker Light 'N Easy iron. I have been so disappointed. It sticks to my clothing when I iron, on any heat setting. I can't do anything to help me iron my clothes without it sticking, like ironing on wax paper. Nothing helps. It does not steam properly. Neither does it heat evenly. And I do not have my warrenty anymore, or I'd take it back to Walmart pronto! This has taught me a lesson.Customer Review: Excellent and powerful for an inexpensive model.
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't want to spend a lot on a new iron when my old one broke, and I'd used a fabulous Black & Decker model at a friend's house, so I looked for that brand. This is not quite full size--but it's quite powerful. It heats up really quickly (appreciated when I have put off ironing today's work outfit until--today!), gives a good blast of steam, and although light, does a good job getting dried-wrinkly linen trousers and shirts beautifully ironed. My one complaint is that the turn-off feature is too quick on the draw. If I turn it on, go to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and return, it's already off. I also am not a fan of the rotary wheel setting-choosing thingy--prefer a bar that quickly goes from off, to high heat for linen, and back--I don't like having to turn and turn the wheel when I'm always in that morning rush. But these are small complaints. This is an excellent iron for the price.Customer Review: For 13 bucks, this iron is a steamin' machine!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, for this price you're getting a relatively small iron. But it's a real iron. Much bigger than a travel iron.
Anyway, I needed a spare iron for quick de-wrinkling sessions at my girlfriend's place. (I live out of a duffle bag when I'm there and she doesn't own an iron!) I own a top-o-the-line B&D iron which I love, so I went for this inexpensive "younger cousin."
Bottom line: I recommend it. Once it gets going (a couple of minutes tops), it really whoooshes out the steam! I fill it up, crank it up, and use it for Dockers and Timberland cotton shirts. The steam blows through so well I only have to do one side! It's a time-saving wrinkle killer!
As for finesse jobs on other fabrics, I couldn't tell you. But for hammering out wrinkles in cotton, it's great. I recommend it and it's so inexpensive, you can't go wrong.
