A great iron for a reasonable price. I chose it because Consumer Reports has it as a best buy; it doesn’t disappoint. Basic and easy to use, it’s much better than my last iron that cost more than double.

I had a Rowenta iron that I paid a lot of money for, but it was always leaky and stained my fabrics. Then it started overheating and scorching my fabrics, so I had to replace it.
I spent only $25 for this Black & Decker iron, and it works like a dream. It steams and sprays beautifully with no leaking. It heats up properly without scorching. And I love the ball joint that keeps the cord from tangling while I iron.
I would definitely buy this iron again.

I bought this iron because of the great recommendation in Consumer Reports and because of the price. It’s a wonderful iron! It’s lightweight; the steam feature is excellent; and it does a fine job. The only tiny thing I can find fault with is the stiffness of the thumb dial which adjusts the temperature. I’d buy this iron again!

While shopping for a replacement for our Shark Steam Iron I discovered that even the “best” irons (which I would have paid for) have major detractors. It seems most of these products are made in third world countries using cheap plastic that frequently fails (even the German brand has lots of complaints ) It seems few will last more than a year or two. Thus I picked a cheaply priced iron with good ratings expecting to have to replace it in the not too distant future. This B and D F1060 is performing beyond expectations so far. It’s light, smooth to use, and all features are working well. I’ll update this report if it fails within a year.

The power in my house goes out on a regular basis, so I finally figured out that maybe getting a book light or two would be a worthwhile investment. After reading the reviews, I decided to get both a Great Point Light-Flex-Neck and a Flex Light from Fulcrum. Each has its pluses and minuses and which one is better for you depends on what you want to use it for.
The Fulcrum light is brighter than the Great Point and covers a larger area. The switch is also much easier to use since it slides. On the Great Point, the top presses down and it’s hard to get it to stay on. Sometimes it switches off for no apparent reason. It’s either a poor design or I got a defective unit. The Fulcrum also takes 3 AAA batteries, which fit into the base, making it both heavier (about 2 1/2 ounces compared to about 1 1/2 ounces for the Great Point) and as a result making the clip a lot bulkier as well. The Great takes lithium batteries, much lighter, but also harder to find.
The Fulcrum is too heavy and too bulky to make it easy to attach to a paperback, and if you want to attach it to any book and hold the book up to read, it gets heavy very quickly. Its brighter light and greater weight and area make it a good choice for when you want to set a larger and heavier book on a table or for attaching to a very sturdy and prominent back rest, plus the easy availability of AAA batteries means you probably have a spare set around when the ones in the Fulcrum run out or at least you can grab replacements at the grocery store. The Great Point is better if you want to attach it to a book you are holding up to read, or to a paperback, or for when you want a little less light so as not to disturb a partner in bed. In any event, since they are both better than reading by candlelight both suit my needs, but one or the other is probably going to be better for most people depending on what you want. Or spring for both so you always have a spare. At this price, you could just about afford one for every room.

This reading light is great, the flexing neck lets you bend it any way you need for where you clip it, the 2 LEDs put out just the right ammount of light to see both pages perfectly without throwing any light around the room, and for 10 bucks you just cant beat this. Best reading light ever.
Update: Been using this for several months now. Still like it very much.. the batteries are a little more expensive than AAAs would be, $5 for the 2 it uses if I remember correctly, but its worth it cuz theyre very lightweight.

I’ve bought many book reading lights, but this is absolutely the best. The flex-neck allows the light to be evenly distributed over any book size, whether its paperback or hard cover.
The Lithium button cell batteries do seem to last a long time. If you buy them in bulk, it’s not too expensive to replace, a much better option than the heavy rechargeable units.
It’s now 2010, and have not found any reason to look for anything better from a weight, battery life, and function standpoint. I now have 3 for use in multiple locations.

This is a very lightweight reading light which wraps and snaps into itself, making it convenient to throw into a purse or travel bag. The on/off switch won’t turn on due to jostling around in your bag, either. This is not my favorite reading lamp, however, since the clear area for the light illumination is also on the sides, not just the end of the lamp. This makes the light glare out on those around you instead of focusing only on your book. I prefer a more focused style lamp for home use.

As an avid reader, my quest to find a good quality reading light that actually works finally ended when I ran across this light by LightWedge.
I’ve lost track of how many reading lights I have purchased in the past twenty years. Most all of them, in spite of my early high hopes upon seeing them in stores, ended up being either too heavy, too dim, too hard to attach to the book, too short on battery light, too unfocused in their light dispersion pattern, or any number of other problems too varied to remember right now. Most ended up in the trash after a few tries because they made the reading task more difficult and sometimes, too expensive, due to battery costs.
The LightWedge Flex Neck Reading Light is what I consider to be the first reading light that meets all my needs for a good reading light, and meets them well. The dual-LED light is bright and focused. The goose neck is flexible and long enough to be adjusted in almost any position with little problem. The switch to turn the light on and off feels well-built, and has a positive feel for both the on and off positions. The light easily and securely attaches to most any book, even paperbacks. And, if all that was not enough, I actually do get about 30 hours of usable light from two CR2032 batteries, and since you can purchase these batteries for about one dollar each online if you shop around, it’s a bargain at that.
I wholeheartedly recommend this reading light as one of the only ones that has ever functioned the way a reading light should. I’ve used it ever since I found it.
