Is this really an "Auto Off " Iron? Did I get the wrong item?

My red light stays on all the time; it seems to just indicate that the iron is plugged in to a powered outlet. The backlight on the display is the indication on the on/off status of the iron. I have not notice Jamie's problem with the iron shutting off after 10 minutes - but admittedly I do not iron more that a couple of items at a time. Seems like you could turn it back on just by pressing the button under the display rather than unplugging and plugging.

No, it is a professional quality curling iron. They never have an auto-shutoff because if it turned off how could your stylist curl your hair at a moments notice. However it does curl hair very easily and the curls are slick and shiny and hold all day. I leave mine in the on position and plug it in or unplug it when I use it. I have had mine for some time now and love it very much. Plus the pink is really beautiful.

Hi. I recently purchased the Hamilton Beach Retro iron. I iron daily and am very particular about my iron and having my clothes nicely pressed. I have owned both inexpensive and very expensive irons in the past and was generally uninspired by the performance. This retro iron is great. It offers the basics in terms of features but does what an iron should do - provide nice heat and steam which result in a neatly pressed garment or fabric. I am extremely happy with this iron. Hope this helps.

I have this iron. It took me three times returning the iron until I got one that works. I think the key is not to have it on for a long time and if so turn it to dry heat. At one point it actually shorted out and caught my fabric on fire Rowenta does stand by their product. I called Rowenta to deal directly. I was told by Rowenta that this is a travel iron and not made for a quilting iron. Good luck.

While I enjoy using this iron, it is heavier than "regular" irons that I have used before. If "regular" irons are too heavy for your use, I think previous suggestions regarding a travel iron may make more sense for you. Good luck!

No. That is one thing I like about it. You do not turn around in the middle of a project and find your iron cool. If you want an automatic shut off that is long, these things exist. Nancy's Notions ?

I believe so. The pump is a little annoying. You don't have to have the pump on. I accidentally turn the pump off because of it's location, so that is a little annoying also. However, it is the only iron I have found that you have to option to override the auto shutoff.

Yes .. it does feature a "self cleaning" fuction .. but since it did not include detailed instructions, owner's manual, etc. - I would have to check the manufacturer's web site for further info. It refers to the "self cleaning operation" .. but NOT how do perform this mission. Go figure, eh mate. Aside from that .. this is a BRILLIANT iron .. and I made the correct decision with regard to the purchase. Good luck .. Helen More (Marlborough, MA)

That is a distinct possibility. The auto-off feature is a bit irritating to work around. I'd recommend writing down the weight of the object you are taring to just in case.

No. I think that is because to produce steam and operate properly, it needs to remain on. Automatic shut off, for me would be annoying aas the iron would have to heat up again and I would have to wait for the proper temperature for the steam. Hope this helps.

It does not have an actual off switch, however, when you hold down the temp up button the power turns off. The bigger issue is that the iron I have does not heat up enough to iron my clothes. I should have returned this

I would say no, anyway, this is not the iron you want. I had nothing but trouble but purchased a Black and Decker iron and LOVE it. Not as expensive and ALOT betters. Does not lead and I am a sewer and use it everyday.

Well I don't use it my wife does, but I think it does have a turnoff. I know one thing it's a good iron for the money. It steams like crazy,

I purchased this iron to use with interfacing and transfers. Frankly I am a bit anal about turning off my things and cannot accurately answer your question. That being said the instructions do not mention an automatic shut off function.

Yes. This compact iron gets just as hot as a regular size iron. There is no automatic off on this iron. So to be safe I always unplug it when I am done.

There is a button on the iron that allows you to shut it off without unpluging. It's the same button that turns it on.

Mine did not. I also doesn't have a way to close the irons when not in use. What you see if what you get. I returned mine. Didn't work well for me.
