I finally found a good iron without a auto shutoff. Hancock's has the Rowenta Focus on sale for $79.99. It seems to have all the good things that Rowenta irons have but most of all it doesn't have a auto shutoff. I shopped around and found it cheaper at AllBrands.com but it was backordered till who knows when. I am so excited. I hate auto shutoff on irons. I realize that they are a safety thing but I can remember to unplug when I turn off the light.
