service rating:excellenti bought the product first at a local store, but it was not the model that i wanted and was advised by the store that there was not a higher numbered model.
it's larger than my old iron making it less easy to store.
i must admit i was hesitant to purchase a black & decker, somehow equating it with the hardware/discount store cheap iron i owned when i first left home.
i purchased a cheaper model b&d iron in a department store but i had to return it because it leaked water all over my clothes.
it being an older model, stores in our area no longer carried this model iron.
the pictures so far are fantastic, and i got a gig sd memory card with it so i can take as many pictures (on the best setting) as i can possibly use on a trip and keep them all stored without need to
i brought home from my target store that iron and the d5500 and held each one.
i was suprised at how quickly its heated up and ready to go and how quickly it cools down and can be easily stored.
i recently bought this iron for more in a department store.
i had tried a couple of the ones sold at another store and they were plastic and did not work well at all.
to store it, i like to wrap the cord around the iron, but to do that with this clunk of metal you have to wait for it to cool.
worked fine, but when i we went to store it overnight (about 8 hours), water leaked from it.
i hope the store will take it back with no receipt.
thankfully i purchased mine at a local dept store that was willing to exchange it for another brand.
just bought this iron yesterday new from a local target store and am dissappointed.
went to the store and bought a rowenta...
i do like this iron well enough to replace it, & i couldn't find it in local retail stores.
