My favorite iron is my Velocity by Reliable. It has an override button so it won't shut off automatically. I also have an Oliso that I use and really like. I bought a cheap iron for applique only. But the Velocity roars when I use the steam. I absolutely have fallen in love with the steam on my Velocity. It's incredible. I also have two Rowentas, but have never had problems with them spitting. And then I have a few small ones for little projects. But I've had many irons over the years and nothing compares to the Velocity when it comes to steam. It doesn't leak or spit or anything. My all time fav!
