Thanks to all of you for your comments and helpful suggestions. I did some searching for the Reliable V100 and see it is actually offered at Wall Mart, K Mart, Home Depot, Jo Anns Fabrics and many other places. I was surprised to see that Amazon was the highest priced for it. You can find it for 139.00 at many places. Maybe some of you can find it for a better price in your areas. I can see why many of you like the auto shut off feature but I think it is a great nuisance. And my iron takes about 3 minutes to heat back up so you can see why I hate the darned thing. The power strip is a great idea. Most of them have a little light on them so when turning off the light and leaving the room you can see if it is still on. Also the Silicone No Burn Iron Rest Pad is a good idea to prevent fires. Thanks again everyone, your thoughts and suggestions have helped me.
