I bought a dry iron from 'Country something'. I think someone here will know the magazine i'm talking about. it doesn't have auto shutoff. I also have a Reliable orange iron that you can override the shutoff. Someone else said they had it, too. The steam on that is absolutely crazy. I love it when I need steam.
But I bought one of those irons that have a separate tank for water and that's my favorite. The iron is light weight, which I love because my hand doesn't get tired if I'm ironing a bunch. It, of course, has no auto shutoff. I use this one all the time. It's a DeLonghi. You can get these kinds of irons (with separate tanks) on ebay for around $150. Mine has lasted for years.
Oh, I think the magazine I got the dry iron from is Country Store. Yep, that's it. i had a senior moment. Sorry.
