mckwilter.........the Reliable Velocity may guarantee, but I question that he has had to replace it twice!!!!!! Late on Saturday night sewing marathon, the iron goes out, I'm IRRITATED!
I will expand my comment based on yours. I don't like the auto turn-off.....irritates me to no end. I hook my iron up to a power strip. My lamp is attached to it, too. If the lamp is on, the iron is on.

No fires!
