I really like my Reliable Maven. It's over five years old and not one drip or sputter because there is no water in the iron only steam goes to it. It doesn't take up much room on my ironing table, the same as an iron only more vertical space.It does have auto shut off though. I have the Clover Wedge iron for next to my sewing machine, it's doesn't have auto turn off. It does have a light that stays on until the iron is shut off.
