I was confused when I went to the shopping mall as to what brand iron to buy? there where Philips, Rowetna, Tefal, Black and Dekker, and so many unknown brands. I finally settled for Black and Dekker as it had not only looks but it was a steam iron and mainly it had an auto shut-off button when not used continously for 10 mts., which I find is a boon for absent-minded people like me. Many a times I have forgotten that the iron is on and and when I come back from work I find it switched off automatically, saving a fire hazard and my electricity bills.I think it should be available in India also!
