I recently bought a Rival at Family dollar for $10.00 with no auto shut off and it works great. Since I never quit sewing for the day without turning off my sewing machine I taped a scrap of fabric over the switch which serves as a visual reminder to check that the iron is unplugged.

I have a Europro and a Rowenta. Neither have auto shut off. I'm a freaky person and have always unplugged my iron after each use. Have always been afraid the dogs would knock it over and it would accidentally turn on when I wasn't around so it's just a habit I have even now when that's not a consideration any longer.

I also love my Europro - it presses the seams so well. And, I can use it to "steam press" clothes, pillows, etc.

My Continental steam iron and lights are plugged into a power strip, so it is always turned off when I'm finished sewing. I got this several years ago for $9.99 at $ General. It heats quickly and gets hot.
