Here is a dry iron that I found online that you can't find in the stores anymore.

I found the last Black and Decker classic no auto shut off in my town at Lowes. It was way in the back of the shelf.

Re: Iron choices
LOVE my Black and Decker! First one I bought lasted about 5 years; got a new one only because it wasn't getting quite as hot as I wanted, but it still worked.
Unfortunately, my mother's dog has managed to pull my current one off the ironing board a couple times, so it's not working at full capacity any more...but I will replace it with another Black and Decker.
Also have Rowenta's travel iron that comes with me on retreats.

I have the Auto Shut Off Rowenta Steam Iron....regular size. It works great and love the steam feature. I may get a smaller iron to put by my machine now too.

I've had good luck with Black & Decker and Kenmore... once I figured out to use distilled water instead of tap water! I used to get crusty hard water buildup in my steam vents

I have a Maytag cordless and love it! So much so that I talked my DH into letting me get one for the RV, too. One less thing to haul in & out when we get to home base.

Re: Iron choices
I have a Mary Proctor that still works. I have a Black and Decker auto-off 470 Quick and Easy. Everything about it is fine EXCEPT, when trying to use the steam, all the water gushes out once it is set upright. rats.
