I have the Reliable V100... I love this iron... steam and sole plate temps are separate, so you can set cool iron and still have high steam if you wanted, (or whatever combo you wanted)
Best of all though... you can over-ride the auto-shut-off!

Any iron that is hot and steamy and doesn't have the dial between the handle and the base!

I love my Krupps. I've had it almost 20 years. It gets dropped on the tile floor every now and then by the cats, but it still works perfectly, steams evenly and never spits or is (as Ricky Timms says) "incontinent". But I only use distilled water in it.

I like any iron that's not a Rowenta.

I love the older vintage irons. They are workhorses and don't have those blasted shut off features.

I understand now why a lot of dislikes the shut off feature-- My Rowenta didin't shut off for 30 min and ths cheap iron shuts off in 8 minutes. It takes me that long to sew my next piece that needs pressing.
