I found my el cheapo Rival iron at WallyWorld for $6.00 after reading reviews for all the irons on Amazon.

Bingo! One of the reviews for my iron complained about the lack of the auto-shut-off feature. Exactly what I wanted!

There's nothing like having to wait for the %&^!* iron to heat back up again and again when you're on a roll trying to make blocks. So back to Costco went the expensive iron that had started spitting.

My little Rival iron has steam and it doesn't spit or leak. The "Cotton" setting could be a little hotter, IMO, so I set the temp just inside the "Wool" setting. It's also light in weight which is nice for my wrists.

Not to mention the price was right!!!!!
