I bought a cordless iron by Maytag, it has a base to keep it hot, and I love not dragging that cord over my pieces and moving them. It shuts itself off after no use, but it heats back up fast if plugged in. I always unplug after I am finished sewing. I ordered mine from Maytag's web site, I am not sure if they even make them anymore. Fons and Porter used to promote them before they went to the type that picks itself back up. But I did pay about $100 for it. It has a titanium base so nothing sticks to it at all.
I had a Rowenta and gave it to my daughter in law and she still uses it for just regular ironing. She likes the weight of it.
