I have the Black and Decker classic and it works great. No shut off and it's the best for all day sewing. I have another Black and Decker that does have a shut off and some times I use it for ironing big quilts or pieces of material. I have a Rowenta that I also like for regular ironing but it takes too long to reheat so isn't good for sewing. I also have another Rowenta that leaks so maybe I'll try the spray bottle technique and use it more often.
