Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker D2020 Digital Advantage Iron
Customer Review: Worked flawlessly so far... best I've used
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Black & Decker D2020 iron after it placed highly on a Consumers Reports ranking. These are my impressions after using it for a few months.
Overall, it's difficult for me to find fault with this iron:
* The iron warms up quickly, irons (glides) smoothly, and produces prodigious amounts of steam! The stainless sole is easy to maintain, and compared to my prior iron, seems to generate more heat.
* Initially, the digital readout appeared to be a gimmick, but its value lies in that it beeps when the iron has reached operating temperature, eliminating any guessing on your part.
* The iron's ergonomics are quite good with the exception of the button used to select the setting & turn off the iron. It is quite small, and requires a deep press to engage. I did not find this iron to be "heavy."
* Other reviewers have complained that the steam selection dial is too loose. I think the problem may be more the positioning of the dial in relation to the handle, rather than the firmness of the dial. From habit, I held the iron handle toward the front of the iron, which caused my hand to rub & move the dial while ironing. I've learned to use the middle of the handle, which reduced my moving the steam dial while ironing.
* To clarify another review, you *can* turn off this iron: hold down the select button for 2-3 seconds. There is a light at the base of the iron that remains on as long as the iron is plugged in, similar to the power light on your TV or DVD player.
* Since I've only used this product for a few months, it's difficult to comment on it's durability over the long haul. However, my old iron was a Black & Decker, and it lasted well over two years. I'm hoping to get as much, or more, out of this one.
Description of Black & Decker D2020 Digital Advantage Iron
Black and Decker D2020 Digital Advantage IronThe power of steam meets the digital age in this electronically equipped iron from Black & Decker. Programmed to display temperature settings and signal the auto-off function, the iron?s mini LCD monitor includes back lighting for easy viewing. It works in conjunction with the unit?s SmarTemp system, an audible alert that sounds when the desired temperature is reached. If you feel comfortable using a standard dial setting, then this iron may be no more than a lateral move. But if you?ve always felt unsure launching into ironing without some feedback, this could be your machine.
The iron comes with a highly polished stainless-steel soleplate, a good choice for long life, easy glide, and corrosion-resistance. The water features include spray, variable steam, and surge to make your labor more efficient, and the vertical steam is handy for hanging garments and draperies. For safety and extra peace of mind, the iron automatically shuts off after 10 minutes of being idle. It also comes with an extra-long cord, a custom-fit measuring cup, and a self-cleaning anti-build-up system. Black & Decker includes a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
