Author's Review

When buying this iron, I was not sure I could afford an expensive top-score appliance, yet did not wish to opt for the cheapest available model. So, having no time to shop around, I grabbed the average-priced B&D SteamAdvantage from the store shelf... it proved to be a mistake. I regretted it as soon as I first attempted to iron a shirt. It does pull the fabric, and I would not dare to iron anything really fine with it. In addition, it is pretty inconvenient to pour water inside. Since my previous iron was a Phillips Mistral, a perfect though a bit outdated European appliance, I felt immediately disappointed with my purchase.
However, since I do not actually do much ironing, I thought I could put up with its deficiencies for a year or two after which it would be replaced. But today, after three and a half months of gentle and infrequent use, this iron started leaking boiling water out of all the slots in its foot... imagine half of the total water supply streaming out on the ironing board and the garment in a couple of seconds - it was really frustrating. As soon as I find a proper replacement, this iron will go to the junkyard.
