I did the same thing, I used the 20% off. Final cost was $31.99. Great iron.

I need one now, and BB&B; shows it at +/- $44. Amazon is $55. I really wanted 300-400 holes but the Rowentas only get to 4.5 stars. Lots of leakage.

62 holes. I have been looking at this iron online for a few days. I just purchased this iron today. Haven't used it yet. I got mine at bed bath and beyond at a cost of $39.99 and had a $5 off coupon that brought it down to $34.99. Great deal. I hope it work as good as all te comments state and I will be happy.

I count 30 open holes and 62 holes total on my D2030. 32 holes seem to be blocked. I don't get a message to clean the iron so I don't know what the blockage is. This iron is several years old so it could be calcium. But the blocked holes are in a regular pattern.

Unfortunately my experience is limited to the DW6080 only. However I have nothing but praise for this iron, it works very well, no dripping it delivers good steam and gets the job done in less time than ordinary irons.

I was ready to buy the Rowenta Advancer, but based on your review I am rethinking this model. Do you have any suggestions for a another brand or model iron? I own a DZ1700 which doesn't get hot enough to press linen. I just want a good heavy high-wattage iron with a pointy tip for pressing the tight spots.

I love my iron. I am a quilter and seldom use steam and seldom press more than one piece of fabric at a time. I have never noticed a "shine" on anything I iron. I use it to iron my clothes. I doubt you would have a problem.

Hi the manual is available at http://www.blackanddeckerappliances.com/products/irons/steam-irons/steam-iron-f210.aspx . Direct link for manual : http://cdn.spectrumbrands.com/~/media/HobbsUS/Black%20and%20Decker/Files/F210%20Use%20and%20Care%20Manual.ashx

The iron is not available on the market as a stand alone item to the best of my knowledge. EuroFlex, (Monster), has US corporate headquarters in New York, my suggestion would be to contact them at their corporate office and see if they may be of assistance. When I bought my board I wanted a spare cover in case of an accident, wear out, etc., I contacted their headquarters in New York and ordered one, it arrived within just a few days. They are very courteous and very prompt in their actions to assist. Footnote: This is the best ironing system I've ever had, could not be more pleased!

Mine did the same thing. I searched the internet for anotber one. Best iron ever.

I got the 1 and 1/2 inch one too and it has a 5 year limited warranty. This is a great iron. My only complaint would be the finish is coming off a little on the edges near the plate. It doesn't affect the performance and I suppose at the high temps it isn't a surprise but you'd think they'd have a solution for this. However, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. It works wonderfully.

The manual doesn't mention it however another user of the DP400 said this in his comment. I haven't used this a lot, but I do have some comments. I have the Delta DP400 drill press. I bought the mortising attachment from another company not knowing it was also a Delta brand. When I got it, I read the instructions and started to install it. At first I found out that all three bushings that were supplied didn't fit. A couple of pages later I found out that for my type of Delta press, they weren't needed and it fit perfectly without needing one. The manual didn't make any mention of the DP400 model specifically. One odd problems was that the T-nut that is used to mount the fence to the table wasn't tapped. I had to anneal it and then run a tap through it. Of course this was happening about 1am, so it wasn't like I could get to a hardware store. One last item is about aligning the mortising chisel and fence. While I haven't made an alignment jig yet, I plan on making one by very carefully aligning the fence then making a single hole into a straight piece of wood. After that I can just plug the chisel into the hole and use the attached board to align the fence. I will go ahead and drill a hole using all four chisels. Overall, it seems well made and fits my Delta drill press perfectly. It seems pretty stout and while the carrying case doesn't fit well, it does hold everything. You just have to disassemble almost everything first.

There is a great advantage using this DW9280 model. The weight of the iron gives extra support with removing the wrinkles and the extra steam wholes are awesome. These are what you need when you are trying to press your garments correctly. Enjoy

I don't know about the DW6080 and how it compares to the DW9280. If you are looking for strong steam - I recommend the DW9280. I love mine. The only drawback is it is a bit bulky. However, the amount of steam it produces cuts down on my ironing time.

I think 20. The highest is 30...and I've been using 25. I have to be honest, I don't love this flat iron. Maybe I was spoiled by my old one (which has been discontinued) but no matter what I do, my ends still look rough, not smooth and overall I don't feel like it straightens as well as I'd hoped for.

I use 1/2 spring water from the store and 1/2 distilled from the store. I bought a gallon of each, and since the iron only uses very little water, I still have 3/4 of a gallon of each. I bought a pyrex measuring cup to keep near the iron to measure the water. I have accidentally scratched the bottom of my iron...so take it easy with pins/sequins. I love this iron!

Hi i'd be happy to help you with any questions you have. The lowest setting on this flat iron is 1. It goes up to 20. I love it, it works well on just 5, better when you get in between 5 and 10 . You do need to be careful it gets extremely hot at 10. I hav'nt had to put it on any higher than in between 5-10 because it works so great. I know you did'nt ask but i thought you might like to have a little more information to help with your decision on purchasing this flat iron. I highly recommend it! You can't beat the price for a really good flat iron,believe me i checked everywhere

Yes. It's clearly a design flaw. The steam trigger got stuck recently, and there is no way to get it unstuck. I used the iron occasionally for two years before running into the problem, but it easily could have happened sooner. I think it happened due to inadvertent contact with the top lock button while picking up the iron.

I bought this one because I do a lot of ironing and like a lot of steam. I love it. I haven't used the DW6080 but one of the reasons I did not buy it were the reviews regarding it not being great for low temps and steam. I this helps!!

Not sure about which is shown at expos, I know some of the tv/internet quilters have the higher priced ones. as far as different, I mostly saw that the higher priced ones have a higher wattage rate, so I guess must get hot faster, and some have a longer cord. But those were the significant issues I saw. Couldn't see that they were so much more necessary for the price. I was going from a very simple inexpensive iron to what I considered a high priced one & it certainly meets my needs. Only thing you might consider is the shape of the faceplate or the number of steam holes in it. It may make a difference in how you are using it. I do love mine makes a lot of difference in my work.
