BLACK+DECKER Pearl Iron, IR2398, 50% Smoother Gliding with Pearl-Infused Ceramic Soleplate, Powerful Steam, 8 Foot Cord, Vertical Steam Function

I bought this iron in August 2024. I must say, I'm glad I made this purchase. I absolutely love the color and the bottom plate has a protective layer that I love because it doesn't get that nasty cakey film most irons get in time. I've had it for roughly 3 months now and I can only say good things about it. The only problem I have with it is that the water tank holds a lot of water, compared to my previous irons, and since I suffer from finger malformation because of my arthritis, if I fill the tank to full, it does get too heavy for me. Even though I don't fill its tank all the way, I can iron 3 school uniforms ( long & short sleeve plus pants) from Monday to Wednesday on full steam. I use this iron from Monday to Saturday every week. No complaints as of now. I will update if there is any issue but, as of now, I can say it works great. The steam button function is very strong; the spray function is a fine mist instead of large squirts that get your clothes wet; the tank filling area is large enough as to fill with ease; it gets very hot so it does remove wrinkles easily; the cord length could be a little longer for my liking but, it's not a deal breaker for me; I have not used it as an upright clothes steamer, so I can't review it for that. Definitely recommend this iron. As long as you follow directions and clean it as the manual says and use filtered water, it is my belief that this iron will last very long.

Iron works well, lightweight and cute

The water tank lasts very long. The iron presses clothes really good. Doesn’t take a long time to heat up. The steaming functions are very useful. I love the safety feature of it turning off after being immobile for a while. Sometimes things happen and someone may forget it’s plugged in. Also, the color and sparkles are aesthetically pleasing! Only downside, is that it’s a little hefty. Not ideal for the elderly, people with disabilities, or people who in general lack good upper body strength.

I am a quilter and a good iron is a must for what I do. I iron primarily cottons, so I use a hot, steam irom. I have used Black & Decker irons for years and they last for years. My last iron was well over 10 years old when it gave up. This new one is lighter, gets hot quickly and works wonderfully. I am so glad I got it!

I am looking for an iron that has mega steam and thought at first this was the one but unfortunately not enough for me. I like the style and the color, no issues with the quality. If there is a iron out there that has serious big time steam that is the one I want. I didn't send it back as it is functionally just not to my expectation.

My iron is still new, so I can’t comment to longevity. But I can say that I LOVE this iron. I sew apparel, and I sew a lot of it. I’m coming from using a frustrating hot-water-spewing Shark that was very heavy. My Pearl Glide iron is lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and it is performing well. It shuts off after 8 minutes but heats up again in a flash. Burst of steam is forceful. Ease of use is excellent, I can get into tight corners with this iron. Did I mention that I love it? At this price point I don’t think I could do better.

Love it.

Very bad experience. I invested so much time before buying this. Description and pictures looked good but first of all this is not new item, It came used, with some water already in the water container. Check more reviews as well with same seller, other people have same complain as well. Since, I needed an iron urgently so I planned on keeping it even it was used but It leaks water badly. Can not even use it. Seller should not waste buyer's time and money by sending defective products.
