The Classic Iron, F67E-T, Aluminum Soleplate, Steam or Dry Ironing, 7 Temperature Settings, Anti-Drip

Very sturdy iron. I like the weight of it, and it works well. This is the third one I have purchased in 42 years. Unfortunately, I dropped the second one and cracked it.

Best old school iron. I lost the first one doing a move and purchased it again. This sign gets hot and will do the job every single time. It reminds me of the hour. I had when I was a kid. It’s solid and adorable.

I did purchase this and found it was not the one I wanted but I like it so I kept it. It is heavier than some of the new ones and a touch smaller but it does iron nicely - the added weight means you don't have to press on the iron - it does all the work! I'm glad I kept it.

Bought this Black & Decker iron mostly for sewing but also general ironing of clothes. I had a previous iron made specifically for sewing but after less than 2 years it started leaking and the steam button broke, so I started looking for a new one. This Black & Decker one was old school, no frills, heavier weight and I’d heard some good things about it so decided to try. I filled it with distilled water (surprisingly the manual actually suggests regular tap water) and ran it over a scrap piece first, since some reviews mentioned getting black factory residue on the first few swipes. It worked well and produces plenty of steam, with clear guides for which heat settings produce steam and which don’t, and a steam on/off button. Got wrinkles out of cotton canvas no problem with a single pass, and is nice and heavy. I appreciate that it has an auto-shut off if left on its side or soleplate after 30 seconds, or if left standing after 8 minutes. Some cons: • Despite the test piece I did end up getting a black smear on a white t-shirt - I then noticed that there was residue all around the sides of the plate which I had to wipe and scrub off with a paper towel. I really wish they’d cleaned it up better during manufacturing so it would actually be ready to use out of the box. Don’t iron anything important right away and make sure it’s wiped clean! • The sole plate has a visibly bumpy texture to it and doesn’t glide as smoothly as my old iron - I would be a bit worried about ironing delicate fabrics like silk or satin with this that could potentially snag or run. • The cord placement makes it so that that when standing, it gets bent. That’s gonna be a weak point over time. Surely they could have designed that better? • There’s no spray nor manual steam burst option I wanted this because it was no frills but I admit I miss some of the “frills” of my previous irons - for example, the fill tank on this doesn’t have a door to close so if you angle it the wrong way water spills out. My old iron also had a function that beeped to let you know it was still on after a few minutes standing - this one has a light but doesn’t beep so you have to rely on the auto shut-off if you accidentally leave it on. Ultimately I went into this thinking it’d be a great old-school iron but between the factory grease, rough-feeling soleplate, and cord placement I would say this is only $30 for a reason. It's working well and I'll continue using it for now but will probably seek out something nicer in the future.

So far, I am really loving this iron. My last iron stopped working after about six years, so I guess that is not really too bad by today’s standards. I’ve had expensive brand irons that the auto-off stopped working on both. The most recent was brand I was not familiar with, but I got it because 1) it was supposed to be extra powerful steam, 2) it did not have a non-stick coating, and 3) the ironing plate was larger (most irons are small, now). Anyway, I do iron almost every day, so I needed something reliable. Looking at the reviews for the Black and Decker Classic iron, I noticed many of the negative reviews were based on receiving an item that was used/returned or damaged in shipping, not really due to faults in the product itself, so I decided to take a chance. First impressions: Mine arrived brand-new in the box, with all packing and instructional materials in-tact. This iron is very heavy, which I think is a good thing, but it may be too much for some people. For reference, it weighs about twice as much as my old iron. The faceplate or the ironing portion of the iron is smaller, but I think the weight makes up for that. I did not have any issues with a black residue on the iron that transferred to clothes on the first use that some reviewers report. However, as I had read that, I did use an old towel, dampened with a little light soap to clean the plate and sides before the first use, and I did a test-run on an older tee-shirt. The cord does not really inspire confidence for longevity, as it seems very light-weight. Look up old photos of this model: they had sort of a metal cage to protect the cord where it entered the iron, usually on the side; and, the cord was much thicker. This cord does not pivot 360, but it does move; so, we’ll see. That is what broke on my last iron – how the cord made the connection to the iron, even though I was super careful not to pull, stretch, or store with too much tension on the pivot point. All other parts seem solid, and there is less plastic than on other models. Filling the water is easy. There is an opening, without any annoying flip door, sliding cover, or rubber stopper to open and close. There is a water-level window on the iron itself, under the handle. It did not come with a water container to fill the iron, but I have one I can use. The directions say to use regular tap water, which is nice not to have to buy and store distilled water. My water supply is not hard-water, and I don’t have a water softener; if you do, you may want to consider distilled water. This iron holds much less than my last iron, like two times less; but now that I know the capacity, I won’t overfill in the future. The directions say to lock the button in the “dry” position (down is no-steam; up is for steam) when filling so that no water gets in the steam chamber and causes “spitting.” That makes sense, and I am glad I read that in the instructions. It also says to store the iron with the button locked down – The directions do not say to empty the water tank after each use, but I do anyway. The control switch is on the top of the iron handle, as opposed to a wheel or slider on the body of the iron under the handle. I like this arrangement much better. I’ve had that in the past, and I didn’t realize how much of a better design this is. The temperature by fabric guide is listed on the body of the iron. Normally, when ironing cotton, I turn the iron to the highest setting; but, I tried cotton on #6 (#7 is the highest for linen), and I was really surprised at the heat level. I was concerned, because the wattage on this iron is less (1,100 as opposed to 1,700), but it does heat very well. I had no issues with the heat level, and I was able to iron using the recommended setting as opposed to the highest setting. The metal retains heat, which you will notice when you are finished ironing and storing the iron. It was still pretty warm an hour later, which may not be good for storage, but shows how the metal really retains the heat. This iron does have an auto-off feature, which I really don’t like because that always seems to malfunction sooner-or-later; but, I guess it is a safety requirement now. So, when the iron is plugged in and first turned on, there is a green light on the lower left-hand side of the iron handle (mine is green, but I think there are some reviewers who mentioned other colors). Once the iron has reached the desired temperature, the light turns off. It will cycle on and off as you are ironing, letting you know that the iron is working to maintain the ideal temperature. I haven’t had it go to “auto-off” yet, so, we’ll see. According to the directions, if the iron is resting in the proper sitting position, it will remain on for 8 minutes, which seems like a good amount of time. If it is on the side or in the ironing position, it turns off much faster, according to the directions. Releasing the red button activates the steam. This iron does not have steam level settings or a “burst of steam,” but the level of steam was WAY much more than my last “extra power steam” iron! Maybe it is because the iron is new: we’ll see. There is also not an auto-self-clean function, but those always seem to make just a big mess, in my opinion. I found the iron super easy to use and the weight is a definite advantage. No applying tons of pressure to get out wrinkles or add creases! It was super easy to iron the ‘vent’ creases on the top back of a dress shirt and creases in dress pants. I like the solid metal bottom, with only the few outlets for steam, as it moves nicely over fabrics. I don’t use starch or fabric sheets in the dryer, so I typically don’t have a lot of build-up. Amazon sells a cleaner (brand Faultless that comes in little tubes), that I’ve used with other irons, so, we’ll see how this goes with more regular use. Overall, I am super happy with this purchase, and this may be my favorite iron ever (even though I’ve only used it a few times). I’ll try to remember to come back and post an update: re: longevity and durability.

I got sick and tired of my overly light iron that I had to overexert myself in order to get difficult creases out (or put difficult creases in) so I came to Amazon and took a chance on this iron. I've been ever so pleased with this iron - it's everything you want in an iron. It heats up quickly, has every bell and whistle a steam iron needs and offers extreme versatility of use and the value is good - you get what you pay for so it's a little higher than similar models with a lighter weight and it's worth that. The weight makes all of the difference in the world when it comes to an iron and I love the weighty feel of this iron - it greatly reduced the work of ironing some items for me. I'm very glad I bought it. It comes in black, it has a good water capacity for steam use, and the balance feels wonderful in your hand when you're ironing - this is an important feature that is missing from your lighter models. I highly recommend this product.

This is the little iron that could! I was in the market for a new iron after my Rowenta finally bit the dust. As a sewist, I iron seams and finished garments constantly, so I need an iron that offers precise control over both temperature and steam—but I wasn’t willing to shell out nearly $200 for one. This classic Black & Decker iron does everything I need for under $40, and I absolutely adore it. I actually look forward to using it every time I sew! It heats up quickly and features an automatic shut-off if left unattended (a must for peace of mind), and it glides through fabrics with ease. It switches temperatures quickly and the steam shut-off button works instantly—especially helpful when working with fusible interfacing or adhesives where you don’t want steam. While this iron isn’t huge (my previous iron was larger), I wouldn’t call it small either—it’s definitely not travel-sized. It’s the perfect size for everyday ironing or serious sewing projects. One of my favorite things about it is the look. The retro, mid-century design is so aesthetically pleasing—it feels like you're joining generations of home sewists who’ve relied on this classic iron. In fact, I’m pretty sure I used a circa 1979 version of this same model growing up; my dad’s old college iron ended up in our camping supplies and worked perfectly 30+ years later! One thing to note: This is not a lightweight iron. While I wouldn’t call it heavy, those specifically looking for something lightweight may want to look elsewhere. Personally, I love the weight. It presses seams effortlessly with minimal pressure—exactly what I want in a sewing iron. The first time I used it, I literally said out loud, “Now this is what an iron should be.” That said, if a heavier iron might be difficult for you to maneuver (for example, if you’ve lost upper body strength or simply prefer something more compact), this may not be the best fit. My grandmothers, for instance, would probably find it cumbersome. But for me? It’s perfect.

I want to love this iron but a frustrated by it. I appreciate its heaviness and metal construction. However, I’m appalled at the cheapness of the controls and their resulting lack of functionality. The metal plate with the temperature adjustment fell out on my second use. I jammed it back in under the adjusting slider, and it does work as far as adjusting the heat. However, the cheap red plastic button that allows steam in the up position, and turns off steam in the down, does not latch in the down position. This could be ok, as I love using steam! But when ironing a polyester item with a lower heat, the steam spurts out randomly, leaving spots and puddles. Yes, in most cases this doesn’t stain, but on one tablecloth it left marks. Yes, I should have just dumped out all the water and let the iron dry. On the other hand, when I want steam, it spurts out inconsistently and it is taking me much longer to iron successfully. Though I love the heaviness of this iron, it looks like I’ll be sadly returning to a plastic iron that has hopefully excellent and consistent steam features. One other thing to keep in mind is that this is a short, compact iron, without as much glide as my coated plate iron ( that I’d dropped thus the replacement with this one). Therefore I’m having a harder time without an elongated point to iron around buttons, or work with pleats and folding seams. I very rarely give products less than five stars, but this iron frustrates me.

Nice solid heavy iron, however I find the handle does get semi hot to the touch.

I’m extremely happy with the Black+Decker Classic Iron. After going through three different irons in the past two years, I was honestly pretty frustrated. none of them seemed to get hot enough to do the job properly. This one is exactly what I was looking for. It’s a no-nonsense, classic iron that just works. It gets properly hot, which makes a huge difference, creases come out quickly and the finish is crisp and clean. Another thing I really appreciate is the weight. It’s heavier than most irons I’ve used, so I don’t need to apply extra pressure while ironing. When I add water, the extra weight actually makes it even more effective. The steam off button is also a great feature and gives good control depending on what I’m ironing. Overall, this iron does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and does it really well. Highly recommend it if you want something reliable and effective.

Un artículo básico, con diseño old fashion pero eficiente como el de mayor gama. Estamos muy contentos con el funcionamiento de esta plancha B&D.

The product was used by me in the USA and is extremely good. However, it works on 110V and not India voltage compatible. For that reason, I had to return the product and the seller was gracious enough to issue refund.

Pros: Es una plancha muy buena, la llevo probando ya por mucho tiempo y no hemos tenido ningún problema, calienta rápido, no quema la ropa, y tiene un buen peso lo que hace mas fácil planchar. Contras: el único detalle que le puedo notar es que tiene un deposito de agua muy pequeño lo que te obliga a tener un bote de agua cerca si planeas planchar tandas completas de ropa.
