I have a Rowenta Powerglide 2 , which isn't made anymore. It does not have the auto shut off feature, which I don't want. When I'm piecing and pressing seam allowances, I want the iron to be hot when I want to use it. This iron is over 10 yrs. old, so I've been wondering how long before it dies. I picked up another Rowenta ( Focus) on sale at JoAnn's last month. This one also does not have the auto shut off. This is the only one of any brand, within my price range, that doesn't have the auto shut off. I really like the stainless sole plate, it slides easily across the fabric.
