I have a Shark. It does have automatic shut off, but once I turn it on and it gets heated up, it does not take long at all to return to the set temp. Often it is still retaining enough heat that I can start pressing a seam as it is heating.

I have one that doesn't shut off. It is a plain jane my Granddaughter bought. She thought she would start ironing, gave that idea up and gave it to me. A great iron, I have had it for several years.

I pick up vintage irons at yard sales, thrift stores for maybe a couple bucks at most, then if one stops working, it's no loss, at this time, I like them because they're heavy and no auto shut off, I think I have about 13 or 14. LOL

I have an oslo. Not cheap and it has auto shut off but it gets hot fast so I don’t mind that it shuts itself off. It turns on just by grabbing the handle and it picks itself up off the board too so it’s super easy to use.

I have a Sunbeam that I bought 30 years ago and although it shuts off after 15 minutes of inactivity, I much prefer it to the new Black & Decker I bought that shuts off after 5 and has to be reset every single time I turn it on. Needless to say, it's back in the box waiting to be gifted to someone who isn't a quilter.

Vermont Country Store has one but as Dunster said, "reasonable price" is different to different people.
