I'm at a retreat in Texas with 50 quilers, so many different irons here! The weirdest one...whe it shuts off automatically you have to unplug it and replug it in. Still scratching my head over who'd design one that way, and why the owner puts up with it
Don't think there is a perfect iron, but I wonder if all the leakage problems is because they aren't emptied after use. Like many here, I've just quit using water in mine, spritz instead.
Good luck with the hunt.
