I went to Consumer Report to find out which was the best iron to get and it was the Black and Decker Plancha Digital advantage. They said it did a much better job than the more expensive brands. I ordered it from Amazon and it is excellent. For my steaming jobs, holds a nice amount of water and it does automatically shut off when not in use. Now, it does come back on really quickly, if I have been sewing, it will shut down but by the time I remove the pins and get the piece ready to sew, it is back on. Love it.
