This Iron was the highest rated model so I decided to buy it with full confidence. However, one day I plugged it in and after a minute I saw smoke coming out of the Iron. At first I thought something was stuck on the bottom of the sole plate.

Needless to say I was greatly disappointed, I rushed to the phone and called Black and Decker consumer support. They were very courteous and helpful and told me they would send a replacement in a week. Unfortunately, they did not have the same model in stock so they sent me the Black & Decker D2020-
