Worst Designed Iron of the Modern Age

It stops working after a couple years!!!
I have had the very same problem that others listed.After a few years of use, the on switch just refuses to stay in the on position.What horrible quality!!!

Won't buy Black & Decker again
I had the same problem as others did.After about 2 years, the iron won't stay on in the upright (veritical) position.It turns off.It stays on in the horizontal position, while ironing, as long as the cord doesn't jiggle.As soon as you set it down to move clothing, it clicks and shuts off.The steam was good on the iron.....but I will NOT buy another Black & Decker iron again !!!

My SteamXpress 680 is fabulous!
I looked up this iron to tell my mom the model number, as she has had one bad iron after another and I am recommending this one to her. I am so surprised to see these negative reviews, I guess that most people who are pleased with their product don't feel the need to post a positive statement! So I will speak up in this iron's defense.We have used this exact iron for 2 1/2 years.It has never leaked, it warms up instantly and steams like a champ.And I must add that I have dropped the iron probably about 20 times over 2 1/2 years, and the only thing that happens is the blue knob falls off, but it snaps right back on.Other than that it continues to work perfectly. So I definitely describe it as durable and recommend it!

This is not a durable product
This iron is such a waste.I have had it for about a year and it worked fine.All of a sudden, the on switch stopped working.In order to iron, you have to shake the iron, wait for the light to come on, hold the on switch, hope that it will heat up and iron while holding the switch. That is way too much work in order to ironIt has an automatic turn off, but it hardly works. It doesn't have a steam button, either.Just a spray button which you have to push several times.DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!!

Look elseware
I bought a similar steam express iron 18 months ago.It worked great until three months ago---then the auto-shutoff feature started malfunctioning.With so many negative reviews on this site, B&D should really do something about this issue.My next iron (purchased at Target today!) is a Panasonic N52.I hope to have better luck with it. ...

The Best Deal on Refills for the Mouse Sander/Polisher
This looks like the best deal in replacement accessories for the sander polisher. I find that I have to buy replacement sandpaper (especially the fine grit) more often (separate package). I tried putting together my own sandpaper, but after the cost of the velcro and the imperfect fit, I went back to the B&D accessories. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The smooth, contoured grip on Black & Decker's Mouse sander/polisher fits snugly in your hand, making this tool remarkably easy to use. The two interchangeable bases are easy to put on and take off (although we had to do it a couple of times to get the hang of it). The iron shaped base is specially designed for larger sanding, scrubbing, and polishing jobs, while the base with a detail tip is perfect for maneuvering in smaller, hard-to-reach areas. The Velcro fastening system makes paper changes quick and easy, saving you both time and frustration. And, because the tip of the sandpaper commonly wears out first, each sheet of sandpaper comes with an extra tab; simply rip the tab off along the perforated lines and use it to replace the tip when it wears out. The Mouse runs at 11,000 orbits per minute, a nice balance between strength and finesse.

We tested ours sanding in between chair spindles and were immediately impressed with the smooth (and fast) results. Then we switched bases and put the Mouse to work on larger surfaces; vibration was minimal. The Mouse is easy to control--which is a big plus if you plan to use the tool for long periods of time. It's a great buy for home hobbyists. In fact, when you get right down to it, your imagination might be the only limit on how many projects this tool can tackle. --Dori Anvinson ... Read more

Nix the Velcro, Black & Decker!
I am an avid woodworker and use my Mouse on a daily basis. The only problem I have with this sander is that if you, like me, change sanding pads frequently - either from heavy use or to change to a finer/coarser grit sand paper - you will find that the velcro adhesive comes apart from the base. I tried gluing the velcro back on, which works as long as I don't change pads again. Once I change the sandpaper out, no matter how careful I am to hold the velcro while pulling the sandpaper off, the velcro still will not stay.

I have considered buying a different detail sander, but do like the Mouse for its lightness and orbiting features. The Mouse's size also enables me to get into smaller areas, which helps with the type of woodworking I do. Because of the positive features, I have settled into a compromise with the beast. I no longer have the velcro on the Mouse at all, but use adhesive sandpaper which I put directly onto the cushioned pad where the velcro used to sit. I have to trim the sandpaper to the correct size and shape, but it works just as well. If it weren't for the velcro pad not holding up, I'd give this little sander five stars.

I Hope It's Not Being Discontinued in Favor of Mega Mouse
I bought this sander primarily as an inexpensive detail sander. I figured that I'd have to resort to using the "finger" base plate, but have found that the steam iron shape allows great access to corners and tight spaces. Does a good job at (quietly and without a lot of vibration) smoothing out paint between coats and doing fine finish work. If you need to remove a lot of material (i.e.: very rough or very large surface), I'd recommend a random orbit sander, 1/# sheet, or belt sander.

The case is convenient, as it holds a lot of supplies. It is not, however, what I'd call heavy duty.

The sander does go thru sandpaper quickly. I agree with other reviewers--I'd be nice to be able to buy it in bulk.

I see this sander less and less in stores; I hope that B&D is not discontinuing this product in favor of the Mega Mouse. That might make finding supplies for the Mouse more difficult.

Really good - except
I've had my mouse for about a year. For the most part, it's had very light use. Recently, I started using it more and it's had moderate use this summer.

It fits my hand nicely, is friendly in terms of ease of use but the hooks on the pad have worn down to nothing. The sandpaper simply won't stick. I'm pretty disappointed since I'm in the middle of two projects I'd like to finish up before the rainy season begins. And it's had light use.

I've tried to find a new "interchangeable pad" for the regular tear drop sandpaper but there don't seem to be any. So I'm faced with purchasing another mouse or trying something else. The motor seems fine so I'm reluctant to buy a whole tool when it just needs a $5 part.

Also, the Black and Decker sandpaper wears very quickly. Fortunately, there are other makes of hook and loop sandpaper and these have been much more satisfactory.

Excellent for small jobs
Lightweight and versatile little tool.

I concur with all the positive reviews here but must point out that B&D's supplied sandpaper is little use. You'll need a quality brand from Home Depot or the like. Makes short work of any small area. I'd recommend something larger is you do a lot of sanding but this is perfect for most home users.

Don't like it - velcro wears off and then it's useless
The first mouse I got (as a gift - I asked for it) had its motor go bad after just a few uses. I exchanged it for another. Then on the next one, after just a few uses, the velcro loops are wearing off on the tip, making the sander effectively useless as it now doesn't hold the sandpaper in place. I need to get a new pad with the velcro loops, but you can't get it at any store - I've got to order directly from the manufacturer (haven't tried yet but I have their #).

I'd advise against any sander that uses velcro as an attachment system. I hear that glue & self-stick systems also have problems, but they can't be as bad as making the sander completely useless. ... Read more

Don't bother
After burning up my old hammer drill in the middle of a job I ran out and picked this one up, just to finish up. It barely scarred the outside of the cinder block I was going though when it began to smell, burning up already! I let it rest. When I used it again it just crapped out, the mechanism that sets it into hammer mode broke. I wasn't able to get though a single hole with this piece of junk. I took the masonry bit out, put it in my Dewalt drill (non-hammer) and finished up. I am a pro and do not abuse my tools, it would be too costly. I used this drill as it was supposedly designed to be used, and it failed terribly. I only gave it a star because it isn't terribly ugly. ... Read more

Paper cost exceeds Mouse cost after 5 purchases
I wish I'd read the posts warning about the cost of the paper before I bought the Mouse. It's a very useful little tool, and it's easy to think of uses for it. Unfortunately, each use means a trip to the store for paper or pads. The paper is horribly expensive, and it's not feasible to substitute for it. I've used my Mouse on only about a dozen minor projects over the last year but have easily spent 3X the original cost of the unit on paper and pads.

Sander good, paper too expensive and hard to find
This is a useful and well-made sander, but it only uses Black and Decker paper that costs [a lot of money] for 5 sheets (if you can even find the paper - it is here on Amazon.com, but usually is hard to find at a hardware store), making it too expensive to use a lot. Orbital sanders with standard size disks or palm sanders that use 1/4 sheets of regular sandpaper are much more economical - about one tenth the cost. It has performed well the times I used it, but I almost never use it due to the expensive paper (that lasts no longer than other paper - you will use up several sheets on a small project).

The Mouse is the best small sander
The Mouse is a great sander for small use. It is easy to switch diffferent grit paper all u have to do is aline the paper to the mouse and press down. I just got it and boy does it do a great job. I love it. I am 14 years old and it is so easy to use it isn't that noisey either. It is the BEST SANDER i ever used. ive used a lot of sander before and this is the one I like. thats why I gave it 5 stars. ... Read more

Less than satisfied
I was so excited about my Black&Decker Mouse. I thought I'd be able to tackle my difficult sanding jobs. I thought it would do more than it does, and I'm dissapointed that there's only 3 grades of sandpaper. It was billed as a sander and it's more of a fine tuner or a polisher/scrubber. It doesn't sand very well. They need a wider range of grit for a lesser cost, such as 50 grit. I feel like I was ripped off. It's a glorified polisher that can get into the nooks.

Great For Small Projects
The Black and Decker "Mouse Sander" is a wonderfully easy to use tool.Lightweight and easy to hold it is a shame that the pads need to be replaced often while working on a particular item, so you wouldn't want to use it on a big job.ie: bureau,chest,etc..I have used mine to do large jobs when no other options were available and by the time you buy replacement pads in the right grit to complete the project,you could have had a nice down payment on a larger and more efficient sander.Once I completed my first table,I searched around looking for other projects simply to use this tool.I recommend it to first time refinishers.

Amazon.com Review

This lightweight, quiet, and fast-cutting electric tool makes trimming small shrubbery almost effortless. Weighing in at only 4-1/2 pounds, it feels exceptionally comfortable in the hand and prevents user fatigue, even on big trimming jobs; its smaller size, maneuverability, and ease of handling make it especially appropriate for sculpting ornamental bushes or topiary. The unit features a medium-length 16-inch blade made from pre-hardened steel for durability, rust resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. The body is made from sturdy, molded plastic with a two-handed grip for extra stability without extra effort. The integral handle has a locking safety switch; turned on, it allows continuous operation without holding down a trigger, and turned off, it prevents accidental start-ups. A cord lock feature prevents accidental unplugging, while handy brackets keep the cord looped out of your way. This trimmer runs off a 2.2-amp motor that delivers up to 3,300 strokes per minute, and it cuts branches up to 3/8 of an inch in diameter. This item is covered by a two-year warranty. --Mary Park ...
