I have two Rowenta irons - one with the auto shut-off which I use basically when I am ironing clothes because I want it on. This feature annoyed me though when I am sewing quilts so I got a Rowenta that does not have the auto shut-off feature so it stays hot all the time.
The smaller iron is a dry iron with no steam feature. I use it mostly when I do embroidery transfers or when I want to fuse a stabilizer to fabric when I am making handbags. I find it works better than the Rowenta irons even if you have the steam feature off. Probably just a personal preference.
