Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker D6000 All-Temp Steam Iron with Stainless-Steel Soleplate
Customer Review: Horrendous Design
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm returning this iron. This iron has decent steam but remember to push the steam button with each use. The iron is exceptionally heavy. It takes a long time to heat up, goes off when I walk away for very long, then I have to wait for it to heat up again. It's difficult to fill the iron because the fill cap is poorly located, not easily opened, it cannot be vertical or horizontal, but needs to be somewhere in between and then it spills over. The temperature controls in separate buttons located on the sides is just plain dumb design. I'm on a mission to find a truly great iron - 3 down, who knows how many more to go.
O give me an iron
that heats up hot
with lots of steam
and is ready for use when I ask;
that's heavy enough
to press a flat seam
but won't send me off
to the doc for having lifted it up;
with a cord that reaches all the way
from the wall to the ironing board
and bends to the left or the right
so I can stand where it's best.
Customer Review: Incredible Iron!

Black & Decker D6000 All Temp Digital Steam Iron, Blue
I bought this D6000 iron direct from Black & Decker, and I have to say, I'm most amazed. For the past 10 years I was using a Black & Decker model...but the steam didn't really come out anymore, and I was using a lot of "Magic Sizing" on my shirts to get them to iron well.
Originally, I bought a Shark as a replacement, but didn't even get it out of the box before reading the horrific reviews. It went back, and I got this.
WOW! No Magic Sizing needed and my ironing time is a third of what it used to be. Yup, you really can have steam at all settings. A lot of steam comes out with the steaming option on, and you get a heck of a lot more with the "steam burst" feature. The fact that you can clean all the mineral build up in the steam vents is great. The digital functions make it foolproof to iron. Read the tag, set the temp setting.
I also do large format photography, and I make albumen prints. I thought the vertical steam function would be perfect for steaming my paper, a necessary step in the process. I wasn't too sold on that (it worked, but be careful of the hot steam), but found that just using the regular steam function without touching the paper was fine.
The auto off feature proved useful when my wife irons. =) Oh, and the fact that she now irons her clothes is a real testament to how great this iron is!!!!
Couple cons: Filling the water tank isn't all that easy - would have been nice if it came with some sort of cup or funnel. Also, the tank empties quickly. But I'd prefer that over an iron where less steam comes out any day.
Do not go for the cheaper, crappy irons. This is the real deal. You won't be disappointed!

Worked for 4 months before burning up. Called for warrenty service. Must pay shipping both ways. No more B&D products for me!!!!Customer Review: Leaked (poured) on 1st usage.
Summary: 1 Stars
About the iron: We only got to try it once - to say it leaked is an under statement. Water POURED out of the seam between the base and the sole plate. Also take heed that it is quite heavy - not good for weak or arthritic hands. We can list no positives since we really didn't get to use it. We have since ordered the Panasonic NI-C78SR and will review it once it arrives.
About Amazon: I have ordered a number of items in the past and have always been happy with the price and results. This is the first problem item, so initially I was concerned about the return procedure. I am pleased to say that it was an easy and no hassle return - all of the procedures were easy to find and follow from their website, including printing of the shipping labels. They issued a FULL refund - no shipping and no restocking fee. Hey Amazon, Well Done.
