Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker D6000 All-Temp Steam Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate
Customer Review: Great Iron BUT Stopped Working after 3 months?
Summary: 2 Stars
Great iron (Black & Decker D6000), sturdy, professional look on mens dress shirts, great steam power. I have purchased previous models of Black and Decker Steam Iron, which have turned out to be a great investment. They usually stop working after about 2 years, however this most recent purchase the iron started to give me problems with power after the first month, one day it wouldn't power on, it came back on the following day. Now after owning it for a brief 3 months, the iron will not power on and it's been about 3 weeks. It's never been dropped and isn't used often. Very disappointing!Customer Review: Great Iron. Wrinkle Free Clothes.

I've had it for a few weeks now, and I think that this iron is absolutely great. It has a couple of really small annoyances, which I will explain below.
First of all, let me talk about the steam. The first time I used it, I was ironing some dress shirts. I started to see smoke underneath the ironing board and i thought that the iron was burning my board! I realized that there was just so much steam pressure that the steam it was making its way through the shirt fabric and through the liner on the ironing board!
The steam is great. I had left a few of my garments out of the dryer for a couple of days and some of the clothes had some nasty wrinkles. I just steamed those parts and the wrinkles disappeared. The amount of steam is also really great for ironing collars and keeping them crisp.
I also am a big fan of the digital display. You know exactly what fabric setting you are on and the buttons on the side are easy to push to turn the temperature up and down.
I didn't find filling the iron difficult at all opposed to some of the other reviews here. Actually, it seemed pretty normal. I guess weight is a trade-off. I loved the fact that the iron was a little heavier (think of the weight as a 1/2 full carafe of coffee). To me it didn't feel cheap and I think it did a better job of ironing because of it. I don't really get why this is such a bad thing in other reviews because the iron really glides easily on most fabrics; I couldn't even really feel the weight at all!
There also a couple of subtle things that I really like about the iron. First of all, I like that that the iron is angled down towards the front. I feel like this makes it a little easier to iron. I also like how the cord can move around at the back. The grip is nice, and I personally like the color scheme. It has all the features that we consider standard these days like auto-off and the clear chamber for water so you can see the level.
Vertical Steam is pretty cool, but the cord is kinda shorter than my other irons, so you might need an extension cord.
I did see that the iron leaks. It wasn't a big deal though, for me it was a couple of drops immediately after I filled it (I've seen this in all of my irons) that go away right after you iron over that area. For me, it wasn't as dramatic as some of the others describe.
The only other quirk that I thought was a little bit annoying was that the power button is on the side of the digital display. You can't really just use one finger to shut it off because you need more pressure to press the button down than is require to push the iron over when its standing or sideways when its in "ironing position".
I feel that those little things don't compare to how well the iron actually does its job...TO IRON CLOTHES and leave them WRINKLE FREE!!! At [...] bucks, how can you even consider buying a Rowenta?

I love this iron. I've only used it a few times so far, but it makes ironing easy. The iron is completely digital and allows you to choose between different heat settings for different fabrics (like all irons) but then notifies you with the change of an icon and a beep when the proper temperature has been reached.
It acts as a steamer and iron in one device. The steam option can be turned on or off, but when on it automatically lets steam out which generally eliminates creases. Even if you didn't touch the iron to the fabric, the steam would be enough to remove most wrinkles.
The "burst of steam" feature is awesome. It allows you to use the iron as a full blown upright steamer. This works great for a slightly wrinkled shirt on hanger, etc...
The iron is very heavy which is probably good for getting the job done, but can make it little bit difficult to maneuver. It also has a raised lip which allows for ironing under cuffed sleeves. Finally, the iron seems to turn itself off after a few minutes without use. I've really enjoyed using this iron as it seems to be built to last, unlike many other ones I've gone through lately.
Customer Review: Great but broke after 5 months!
Summary: 2 Stars
The D600 is without a doubt the best and most effective iron I have ever owned--far superior to the Rowena I had. It worked so well that I rarely used the steam button, it heated up quickly, rarely leaked, and ironed like a dream. However, after 5 months it simply stopped working. I replaced it with a cheaper Black & Decker but already regret it as it's just not as good. However, given the price of the D6000, it should have had a much longer life!Customer Review: Great iron for a non-ironer!

I am a guy, so ironing is about as low on my list of life-love's as it can possibly get.. and fortunately, I don't have to wear a lot of dressier clothes for work, so the need to iron is fortunately not ever-present in my life.
However, it seemed a bit archaic not to have one and there have been a few occasions where I really did need one, so this iron came into my life at just the right time. I like it because it's sturdy and well-built, it's fairly idiot-proof (i.e. with safety features that will prevent me from tipping it over/forgetting it's on and burning my house down). It really glides across fabrics and makes ironing as easy and enjoyable as is humanly possible.
The best iron is still either my mom (Thanks, Mom!) or my dry cleaner, but this is the next best thing!
