I think David Taylor recommended a small iron for appliqué that didn’t shut off and got really hot. I would check his website to see if it is listed there. Bonnie Hunter haunts the antique malls and picks up old irons whenever she sees them.

Check out the cheap irons. I don’t know if they stii make one that doesn’t automatically shut off. I have a Black and Decker that I bought 15 or 20 years ago. It was the cheapest one sold at our local Walmart. Gets really hot and doesn’t shut off unless I turn it off. I have mine plugged into a surge protected power strip that sits on a desk top so I can easily see if it’s unplugged before I leave the room.

I found my last iron, a Sunbeam, at a garage sale for $1. Heats up nicely and doesn't shut off. Haven't tried the steam portion of it as I got so tired of the irons leaking on my fabrics that I just decided to use my spray bottle full of water from them on. I keep my old irons in case this one dies on me but spray misting my fabrics have worked just fine. Just love the fact this one doesn't turn off on me but then the con is I have to remember to turn it off at day's end. The happen I got into is if the iron is on, I keep it upright on the ironing board, when I turn it off I set it down on the little stand attached to the end of the iron.

I don't know about a reasonable price (depends on what you consider reasonable) but the Digital Velocity irons have a no-shut-off feature. I have the V100, which is no longer available, and love it. The steam is the best, and it cannot leak. I got at around $90, however, and don't know if I would pay the current price for the newer model.

I bought this in 2016 and still working fine. I do like the "no shut off" feature. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
