I had a Black and Decker iron for 10-15 years that I really liked, but it quit working. Since I liked it so well, I thought that I would get one like it. Well since it was so old there were no others like it on the market today. The old one was a Black and Decker Quick 'n Easy model #330. The new ones seemed to be more heavy and bulky to use. So after looking around awhile I bought the Black and Decker Steam Iron Model F210. It was lightweight and easy to use. I found out this model is not good to use as a steam iron. The water comes out of water fill opening when you're ironing and gets the clothing wet and comes out when you go to rest it on its heel. The clothes are wet and so is the ironing board cover. What a mess!! Very disappointed in the performance. I wish the appliances we use could all be made in the USA. It seems like since we have so much made abroad the quality of the products has been sacrificed. I guess this iron will have to be stored as a good dust collector.
