I agree, they do sometimes shut off in an ironing session, but if you give them a little shake, they heat right back up. Not an issue for me either and I find the auto shut off is a good thing for me. I may be intending to get right back to ironing, get a phone call or the dog starts to bark, and then who knows where my brain goes. I have come back to my cold Rowenta iron blinking at me. Oops! but nothing scorched or on fire. That is a win.
