Well, I just plugged in my iron and it smoked and died! Of course I haven't another one to replace it. Does anyone know of a resonably priced steam iron without a auto shutoff.......I don't like auto shutoff on my iron because it's never ready when I am.

Most irons now have the automatic shutoff -- I did just buy a Europro that does not have the shutoff. I like it. What is reasonable to one is too expensive to another.

I got one at Goodwill. $7 and it gets hot! No auto shutoff. Plus my GW gives you 7 days on electrical stuff - if it doesn't work, I can bring it back for a refund.

I bought my Rival Steam Iron at WallyWorld for less than $10 about two years ago or so. I think the price may be $12 now. It does not have auto shutoff, so be sure to remember to unplug it when you finish for the day. It's also small and lightweight.

That is WHY I prefer the auto shut off. I let my piecing build up until I need to press then after I have finished, I shut it off. I forgot one time to shut it off. Boy, am I delighted with Auto shut off. I am very forgetful now a days and that is one less thing I need to worry about.

I really dislike the auto shut off.. but have to admit it has saved me on more than one occasion.

I too hate auto shut off. I have a black and Decker one. also got the small one from China and am using that most of the time now.

I have my iron plugged into a power strip that also has my work-light plugged in. When the light is on, the iron is mostly likely on. I just shut off the power strip when I'm done.

Not cheap, but the Reliable Digital Velocity iron can be set up with or without auto shut-off. The default is for the shut-off to be enabled.

I solved the problem of the iron being left on. I plug it into a power strip that also has my lamp plugged into it. Now I know if the light is off, the iron is off. No more worrying when I leave the house.
