    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.

    Mine shuts off but only after 30 minutes. It's a Shark and I really like it. Just bought it a few months ago.

    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.

    I have a Contenial, no steam, that I got 4-5 yrs ago, no automatic shut-off. I think I paid $25-35 for it.

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

    My Rowenta Focus does not turn off. I think I bought it online within the last two years or so.
