I use a Black and Decker that cost around $25 and love it. It has an auto shut off which was at the top of my list. The first one I got quit heating after using it for about 3 months. I contacted the company and all I had to do was cut off the plug and send it in and they replaced the iron. The new iron came quickly. Great customer service and I think I just got a fluke of a defective iron. It has a shiny sole plate which I can clean and not worry about the teflon coating coming off. It also came with a little pitcher for filling the iron. Best way to pick an iron is to list the features you absolutely want (like auto shut off for me) and then go to a store where you can hold the irons to test the feel and weight.
