I finally had to break down and buy an iron that shuts itself off. The only drawback is that sometimes it shuts off while I'm working cause I get involved in sewing and not pressing...and when I go to the iron..it's off.

Love the idea... I have a stupid iron that turns itself off after 30 mins regardless if I am using it or not. It drives me crazy... I keep wanting to get a new one but it is way down on my list of things to buy..

My iron, a real cheap one because I dropped and broke 2 irons before I bought this one, will turn itself off after 8 minutes. It's not really "off", but the heat level is reduced to almost undetectable.
Even so, I am in the habit of unplugging the iron when I am done with it.
