An iron that stays hot?
I am in search of an iron that stays hot or at least heats up quickly after an auto shut off. I have a Sunbeam Master Steam, a dry Sunbeam, and a Panasonic. None of these functions to my expectations.
Any suggestions or are my expectations too high?

I have a EuroPro which I use steam. It does not have an auto shut off, but to conserve water/steam, I turn off when I am done pressing and doing some sewing. Usually chain piecing. So when I get up to clip threads and such, I turn it back on again and it heats up quite quickly. Initial heat-up does take some time though.

I also got an inexpensive iron from Walmart that doesn't turn off. It was maybe 6$. I bought it because I didn't want to use my Oliso as a travel iron. This is awful, but I like it more than my expensive irons in some ways. It gets hot,hot,hot and it doesn't shut off.

I have an old Rowenta that I got from Goodwill for $5. It doesn't shut off. It's a pretty heavy iron though. Some people like that, some don't.
I see irons all the time at the thrift stores...right next to the crock pots.
