Well... I'm getting nervous now myself. I have the DW8090 ProMaster that they sell at JoAnns. I've had it since last March and all of a sudden, it got a slight slow leak. Hmmm... I did the cleaning on it and lots of gunk came out. I only use bottle water, since we soften ours. I always unplug. However, now I'm wondering if the slight leak is the precursor to the blow. I bought this one after I had the Steam Generator for exactly 73 days. It blew a huge leak and water came out through the on/off switch. I packed that baby up and it went right back.
I have a WalMart Sunbeam that has a 30 minute off and I will probably go back to that or the dry iron. I have a nice B&D that has a 15 minute shut off. I like it, but it seems that right the time, I have to wait for it for a minute. Although it's a nice iron and worth the minute.
