Hi
My husband got me a black and decker iron for Christmas one year that has an automatic shut off feature. It will shut down after a certin amount of time and willnot turn back on until you lift it up.
It willbee when shutting down and beep when it has reached the set temp.
He too was afraid that I was going to burn the house down while we slept.
I too got a fun wake up call in the morning. :wink:
