Black & Decker X50 Travel Pro Iron, White

This product is a smaller design, which makes handling easier than larger, heavier ones. It works pretty well, does the job, however, I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong, but it seems to "sputter" out too much water when I just want it to steam...

Small and compact making traveling with it very easy. Also gets very hot which is a problem I have had with other travel irons. Between the heat and a great working steam systems, it gets rid of wrinkles in clothes very well.

I used to have a Hamilton beach travel iron which lasted for a long time. When I had to replace it I chose this Black and Decker because I know the brand and also because this one has steam. The reason I gave it 3 stars is only because it seems to be a cute little iron to use at home, no way it is to travel because it is very heavy 1.4 lbs,. therefore I would not recommend it as a travel iron.

Love this little iron for my quilting retreats. Just the right size. Easy to use and lightweight. Price very reasonable.

This iron is poorly designed and does not deliver steam as advertised.1. Iron does not have a manual steam option. All you can do is fill it with water and put the steam setting on max - and this barely produces steam, you can't force more steam bursts.2. The hinge for the handle is weak. It slips and folds down while you try to use the iron and is flimsy at best.3. If you are buying it to travel think about weight - it is far heavier than other models.4. It is nice that it has a converter built in - but I never used it b/c I would never take this piece of junk with me on a trip!

I bought this as a replacement for the X10, which had been inside a suitcase that was stolen from me. I found this one much more difficult to use, primarily because the handle, which rises up from the top rather than folding up from the side, doesn't lock securely in the up position. Frequently while using the iron the handle will partially collapse, either on its own or because I bumped the release button (which is all to easy to do). This jerks the iron, pinches fingers, and makes me fear burning the clothing or even myself.Furthermore, the cord of the X10 could be wrapped around the collapsed iron when not in use for easy storage in its box, but the shape of this one makes wrapping the cord unwieldy and does not allow it to fit in the box this way...so one must figure out how to fold and stuff the cord in each time one puts it away.

After researching on Internet I bought this iron. It is small but very effective if you don't need to iron too many clothes. It is a good companion for every travel.

We have a grandson in the Sea Cadets and the last time he went on a camping trip he carried a full size iron which is very heavy. This one made him ecstatic because it easily fits into a seabag, does a good ironing job and allows him to be "band-box" fresh at every happening. Perfect choice for travellers.
