I have a Black and Decker that I like a lot.
Sorry - don't remember the model number - it puts out a lot of steam - and it has a cover for the water hole.
I unplug my iron and set it on the floor when I'm done using it.
For two reasons: Don't want the cat to knock it off the ironing board - and if I unplugged it, I know it's "off" - even though it's supposed to have an automatic shut-off.
