I bought a $35 Black & Decker form Walmart and I like it for my general clothing ironing. But, as others have said, it has the auto shut off. Hated that for quilting. So I bought an $8 cheapo at the $ store (sunbeam I think) that doesn't have the auto shutoff. I love it. It's a little smaller and light weight. It get's much hotter than the B&D. I love it for my quilting. I also, always use distilled water in my irons. Makes them last much longer and not all that leaking.
