Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker F1000 Steam Advantage Iron, White
Customer Review: Really great
Summary: 4 Stars
This iron is basic and works really well. It takes very little effort to get a good clean press. There is a problem, though, one that another review mentioned. I cannot see the water level. The plastic is too dark. So I usually end up overfilling it and water spills out while I'm ironing...but it irons so well that I don't mind so much.
All things considered (including the very reasonable price), it's a good iron with a flaw I can learn to live with.
Customer Review: Terrible Iron
Summary: 1 Stars
Got this iron thinking that it would be a quality product. Won't make that mistake again! This iron did fine for about a month, just long enough that I could not return it to the local store. Then, it started dripping constantly. We followed all the directions regarding cleaning, adding water etc. NOTHING worked to keep this iron from dripping. Clothes always have water spots, then today, it just quit working, won't even turn on!Customer Review: Tugs, pulls & leaves funk on clothes
Summary: 1 Stars
We needed a new iron because our previous one (also a Black & Decker) finally stopped working after about 9 years. I decided to stick with B & D, since our prior one lasted so long and because I used to associate this brand with quality. I chose this particular model because of the price and the light weight (our former one was quite heavy.) Right out of the box, the dial setting was almost impossible to turn. But considering we only use the highest setting anyway, I figured I'd just leave it set there - no worries. For about 4 months, it worked fine. Then it began to catch, tug & pull on clothes, creating even MORE wrinkles. If that weren't bad enough, it then began leaving dark residue on our clothes - apparently the "non-stick" finish of the plate was flaking off. What a mess.
Do NOT buy this cheap piece of crap. And shame on Black & Decker - what happened?
Customer Review: Unsatisfactory
Summary: 2 Stars
I selected this iron because of the excellent reviews it had received at the time (about two years ago), but it looks like this iron has not stood the test of time. My first one lasted less than a year, and Black and Decker replaced it. I used the second one very little yet it still died in less than a year. I gave it two stars because it worked nicely during the time it worked. I'd nevertheless recommend crossing this model off your list.Customer Review: Value & Performance

My daughters iron died right in middle of doing laundry; much needed item delivered in record time. Absolutely delighted with price and performance of product
