Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just putting in my two cents' worth,despite how many reviews there already are, so I may be repeating things other have said. First, let me say that I am throwing away two Rowenta irons, each of which cost almost double what this one did. They had such small water reservoirs that I was constantly refilling them, and, eventually, both began spitting water all over the clothes, regardless of the settings being used, rendering them useless despite some features I liked. I am using my new Black and Decker iron for the first time today. After ironing three items, I have the following observations. I like a heavy iron, and this one is. I love that it has a very large water reservoir and that the cup for filling it has a pour spout which essentially eliminates spills when filling the reservoir. Unfortunately, the dark gray color of the reservoir makes it nearly impossible to monitor the rise of the water as you are filling it, and there is a "Max" line at which one needs to stop. The color choice was almost certainly more for the overall appearance of the iron, than for practicality. Also, being right-handed, I would have preferred the Burst of Steam button to be on the left rather than the right, because I rarely use the spray button. It was on the left on the Rowentas, so it's going to be a habit I have to break, because I keep spraying my clothes! Also, on the Rowenta, the Burst of Steam function made a distinct "bursting" sound when engaged, so you knew it was working. Also, the burst was very powerful, and was great for removing wrinkles. It is impossible to tell, with this iron, whether any "bursting" is going on. I do like that this iron seems to get much warmer at the higher settings than my old irons, which I had to keep on the highest setting for almost everything I ironed. Basically, I am very satisfied with this iron, but realize that, as I continue to use it, there may be more pros and cons. If something really concerning happens, I'll post another review.
