Default An issue with irons

Bummer 4th for me. I planned on sewing and bbq in between raindrops but then my iron quit working for me! I bought a Shark Rapido Electronic Iron about two years ago at K-Mart. The iron shuts off automatically if you are not moving it after so many minutes. (VERY ANNOYING) Today, the senser light will not funtion and the heat level would not rise above the nylon setting. I wiggled, shook and moved the connecting electrical cord, to no avail. I think this is $40 of scrap material!!

So now I am in the market for a new Steam Iron, but, being energy aware, I wonder how energy efficient are those little, triangular shaped, seam pressers? I am wondering if I would be better ahead buying both a new Steam iron and one of the smaller seam pressers? I only have one electricle outlet and one ironing board. Opines on brands encouraged, please.
