BLACK+DECKER Steam Iron for Clothes 1200W — TrueGlide Nonstick Soleplate, SmartSteam Auto-Regulation & 3-Way Auto Shutoff

The BLACK+DECKER Steam Iron is a compact, 1200W garment iron that pairs SmartSteam auto-regulation with a TrueGlide nonstick soleplate and 3-way auto shutoff for safer, faster ironing.

Designed for everyday laundry tasks, this iron aims to simplify wrinkle removal by automatically adjusting steam output to the selected fabric setting and preventing water dripping. Its 1200-watt heating element reaches ironing temperatures quickly while the ergonomic comfort-grip handle and 360° pivoting cord make maneuvering around collars, cuffs and seams easier. The translucent, easy-fill water tank accepts tap water and the push-button spray mist helps treat stubborn creases.

How does SmartSteam make ironing easier?

SmartSteam technology senses the chosen fabric temperature and adjusts steam production so you don’t have to fiddle with separate steam controls. That reduces guesswork and helps prevent over-steaming delicate materials. It also helps maintain consistent steam without excessive dripping.

• Automatically matches steam level to temperature setting
• Anti-drip design holds water at optimal steaming temperature
• Works across common fabrics like cotton, polyester and wool

What safety features does this iron include?

The iron includes a 3-way auto shutoff that turns the unit off if left idle on its heel, side or soleplate, helping avoid accidental burns and saving energy. The motion-sensitive system brings extra peace of mind when you’re multitasking or step away from the ironing board. Simple care instructions—wiping the soleplate with a damp cloth—help preserve performance.

• 3-way motion-sensitive auto shutoff for heel, side and face-down positions
• Nonstick TrueGlide soleplate minimizes sticking and residue buildup
• Easy-clean exterior; wipe with a damp cloth to maintain

Does the soleplate and design improve glide and control?

The TrueGlide nonstick soleplate is engineered to move smoothly over a range of fabrics, reducing tugging and saving time. The ergonomically shaped comfort-grip handle improves control for prolonged ironing sessions, while the 360° pivoting power cord prevents tangles and gives unrestricted movement. Together, these features help you finish ironing more quickly with fewer passes.

• TrueGlide nonstick surface for smooth, low-friction ironing
• Comfort-grip handle shaped to fit the hand for better control
• 360° pivoting cord for unrestricted movement and fewer snags

How well does it handle tough wrinkles and different fabrics?

The combination of steady steam, a push-button spray mist and a hot soleplate tackles deep wrinkles on heavier fabrics like cotton and blends while remaining safe for synthetics on lower settings. Recommended fabric types include cotton, wool, polyester, rayon and nylon. The balanced steam output and anti-drip design keep results consistent across multiple garment types.

• Push-button spray pre-moistens stubborn creases
• Effective on cotton, wool, blends, polyester, rayon and nylon
• 1200 watts for quick heat-up and sustained ironing power
