Big disappointment
This iron is nice looking and that is as far as it goes! It is encased in metal which makes it heavy and clumsy to use, but worse it gets hot everywhere! I used it for one hour and burnt myself several times. 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. I'll be returning this pronto!

Disappointing
(Note: my iron is actually the F63E, slightly newer. It includes a water gauge.)

I bought this hoping for a good, old-fashioned iron with enough heft to actually remove wrinkles from clothing. Silly me. It does have the heft I was after, but the steam output is wimpy, at best. The instructions say to gently bump the iron several times to get the steam going. If you do that, you're rewarded with one or two weak sighs of steam, then nothing. I actually bought mine at Ace Hardware, and will be returning it. I sure wish someone would make a good-quality, old-fashioned iron!

Do not buy - will burn you AND your fabric
This is an absolutely horrible iron. There is no way to determine how much water is in it. If it is filled too full, the water simmers and bubbles back out the water hole to drip nearly-boiling water on your hand. It also frequently drips water onto the fabric.

On top of that, the amount of heat greatly varies during an ironing session. I'll use it on 7 for a while on cotton and linen and then suddenly, it will start burning my ironing board cover.

I have nothing good to say about this iron.

No stars for this vendor
It has been two months and I do not have a refund. Ace Hardware sent the wrong product, I returned it immediately, using their labels that were e-mailed to me, and they did not credit my account.

Do not purchase this item
I purchased this iron due to its low price and the fact that it was a Black and Decker. I was dissatisfied with it after only one use -- it did not get hot enough, it did not glide smoothly over the clothes, and the 'resting plate' got extremely hot, which concerned me from a safety perspective. The iron does look attractive, but that hardly matters. Even though this particular model is not good, the 'Digital Advantage' model has received very good ratings and I plan to go this afternoon to purchase it. This model not withstanding, Black and Decker still makes the best irons.
