I have a Black and Decker that I paid $12.97 on sale at Walgreen's. I love it. It was cheap, it works just as good as the expensive ones. It does automatically turn off, but it buzzes first and lets me know and I can either let it turn off or correct it. It is on my sewing table or ironing board ALL THE TIME! It matches the carpet and wallpaper (Teal) - always fashion forward, you see. Edie
