BLACK+DECKER Vitessa Advanced Steam Iron, ICR2020, Even Steam Nonstick Soleplate, Auto Shutoff, Tangle-Free Retractabel Cord, Green

Used this iron as soon as I received it. It is lightweight when in use and it heated up fairly quickly. Other then the sound of the steam coming out of the iron it was fairly easy to use. For the price point that I bought it at and for what it does for my shirts and suits. The retractable cord is a very solid plus that helps when storing in my closet as well. Very satisfied with the purchase!

This is hands down the best iron I’ve owned. It heats up incredibly fast and glides smoothly over all types of fabric without sticking. The steam function is powerful and makes getting rid of tough wrinkles much easier and faster than my previous irons. ​It’s also comfortable to hold and has a good weight to it—not too heavy, but solid enough to do the job well. If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performing iron for daily use, this is the one to get!

I love the fact that it has different settings and it's pretty easy to understand when to use each one. The reason why I didn't give it a full five stars is because getting water in it for steam was messy. The opening isn't very big, so free-hand pouring was clearly not going to turn out well. I got a funnel but still, I spilled some water because it was not going into the tank as fast as the funnel was pouring it in. You'll have to learn to pour very slowly and use a funnel to keep from getting water all over your ironing board. Once the water was in and I was ready to use it, it worked beautifully. The steam was strong and hot. I only had it on a setting of 4 too, which is the lowest setting to obtain steam. The sprayer worked great, but I found the extra steam button to not be very reliable on the 4 setting. Perhaps if I had it higher it would have worked better. Sometimes it would kick out a gust of steam and other times it wouldn't and I had to press the button more than once. I'm not a huge steam fan and I already have a steamer for clothes that don't tolerate a hot plate irons, so for me it was not a big deal. I did decide to keep it. I love that it has a very narrow tip that allows for some detailed ironing. Overall, it's a nice iron and most will be happy with it; just not the steam lovers. In it's defense, it did give out really good steam with just ironing, so for most I doubt that extra boost of steam would be needed anyway.

I've had opportunity to use my new iron a couple of times so I've tested out all the features whether I needed them or not. Everything is in working. Order seems to be a quality. Item, it was a Goodbye for the price. I highly recommend it if you're in the market for an iron

I love this iron. I bought a Black and Decker in 1990's the only problem with it is that the soleplate is damaged and it sticks to everything. I decided to get another one that I hope will last as long as that one has. The weight on this iron is perfect for me. It is considerably lighter than my old one but still has weight. I have old boxes of fabric that I am using to make quilts and is not just cotton but different kinds of polyester combination materials, some are stretchy and some are not. It seems to iron quicker and I have not burnt or stuck to anything yet. It is so quiet I keep thinking it is not working. I use starch to make the fabric harder and when the residue sticks to the soleplate I can wipe it off with a dry sponge and keep on keeping on. It also says that you can use tap water instead of requiring distilled water. I really like that it has color. It has a spout that make it easy to put water in and I can see where the water is and how much is there. So far it has not radomly sprayed out steam when the iron is moved so I haven't gotten burned yet.

I've had this iron for a few weeks now, and overall it's been decent. I like the lightweight design and good value for money. The retractable cord is nice, but it does get stuck sometimes and can be a bit annoying to deal with. My main issue with this iron is the temperature control. It's not very intuitive to set the right temperature for the type of fabric you're ironing, and the dial on top of the handle makes it hard to see what setting you've chosen. This has resulted in me burning some clothes or not getting them hot enough. Additionally, I've had issues with water leakage from the iron. It's not a huge problem, but it does spill some water onto the floor when you're filling it up. I'm not sure if these are isolated issues or if other people have experienced the same problems. Overall, this is an okay iron, but it could be improved in terms of temperature control and cord retractability.

I like this iron. I have noticed it does seem to leak. The first thing I noticed was I hadn't secured the cover properly over the fill inlet. I reconnected the cover and still noticed some dripping as I ironed on the 4 setting. This makes me think the steam when I put the iron upright causes a small amount of water to come out and drip down. All in all it seems to work really well. The cord retracts nicely. The iron glides nicely over the fabric I've ironed. One of the issues I had when deciding to purchase this iron was that my existing wall mount storage would not work. I tried searching mounts on Amazon. I could not find any that were directly recommended for this iron. There were however many to choose from. I finally found the one shown in the pictures with this review. Note: I do not plan on using the ironing board hangers on this mount as I have the board in a different location on a different mount. Therefore, I cannot comment on the ironing board mounting. The mount I bought on Amazon is: ZTFORUS Large Iron Holder Wall Mount, Heavy Duty Iron and Ironing Board Hanger with Removable Heat-Resistant Silicone Pad for Easy Clean, Steel Structure. My old mount was a Rubbermaid that was too narrow. It mounts to the wall with two screws. When I went to mount the new one, I found that I was able to use the two wall anchors from the previous Rubbermaid holder without having to drill new holes. All in all, I recommend this holder for this model of iron and probably many more of the same dimensions.

La plancha está lista hacer bien su función de vapor, el problema es con la retracción del no cable, no o funcioauy bien, se atora mucho, tuve una igual de la misma marca y nunca tuve problemas con guardar el cable de hecho la plancha me duró más de 10 años por eso compré la misma marca pero creo que han bajado su calidad es una lástima. Ojalá no se descomponga pronto porque compre va ése modelo precisamente porque tiene donde guardar el cable. Sugiero que tengan más control de calidad en ése tema
