Iron-----on/off switch?

Hi, hope someone can help....

I work from home selling fabrics and need an iron that has an on/off switch.....just need something that I do not have to keep plugging in and out.....steam is not important.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Pippa

    Do your plug sockets have an on off switch? Or you could get an extension with one.

    I'm not an iron expert but haven't seen one with an non off switch in my (limited) experience.

    I use a multi extension cable and so can't turn off the switch.

    The cut out cuts in after 8 minutes....and so not very environmentally friendly.

    I think that there is an iron that has a sensor built in to the handle but have not been able to find it.
