I bought a Reliable Velosity Iron. Quite expensive, but - - at my last quilt retreat there were several ironing boards set up with irons at the ready. By day three my iron had a line of users when the others were available. It's a heavy iron, but it steams at low settings and gets quite hot. Drawbacks include weight and short shutoff time. Otherwise it's a gem. It has a beep when it reaches temperature setting, when it shuts off, and when starting up again. It holds LOTS of water and emits a signal when it's out. I love it. Didn't think I'd ever spend over a $100 on an iron, but this one is close to $200. Look for good sales!
