I have a Sunbeam that my DH bought for $1 at an auction that does wonders. Has a nice cord length that allows for pressing large sizes. This particular one does not do steam, but I'm ok with that. I have others for steam if I want it.
The next best iron is a Black and Decker that is small in size, does steam well, is moderately heavy was cheap $$ and still goes like a champ. I travel with it to workshops and vacations. It just didn't have the automatic shut off. Now I'm glad it doesn't as I hated the one that did. Kept turning off if not moved in 15 minutes.
Because I have left an iron on when I didn't intend to, I now have my iron plugged into its own power strip surge protector with a light bulb plugged into the power strip also. Now if the light is on, so is the iron. I haven't left it plugged in since this set up my DH came up with. Has to be safer too. It really is hard to miss the light bulb glowing on the floor!!
