Last time I lliked for an iron, I found hard to find one without a shut-off feature. I ended up with an inexpensive model of Black & Decker under $30. and it lasted at least 5 yrs. Even tho I am professional seamstress, I still will not pay over $50 for an iron. The one Rowenta I bought many yrs. ago, power-surged and melted a curtain panel I was working on for a customer. As a result, I never got another job from that customer.
