hmmm, i will have to take a look at one. my black and decker shuts off it not in use. trouble is I'm ironing when it starts beeping and will shut off if i don't turn it upright (pointing up) and then back down. sigh. makes me so mad. but then i can iron more for awhile. i am using it and hearing the water slosh and it wants to shut off! so far it works well other than that.
