I find the nanny feature annoying while I'm sewing. I'm always rushing
over to restart my iron when it beeps that it is shutting itself off.
Unfortunately, I also learned by experience that I am one of the people
who need it.
Early in my college years, I had been sewing late into the night and had
finally gone to bed. When I woke up, I immediately went back to my
sewing machine to continue on the project. As I sat at the machine and
stretched my arms behind me, I felt the cold sewing scissors that I had
left on the ironing board overnight. As the back of my hand rested
against the scissors, I suddenly realized that it was really my hot
iron. I had left it on overnight. After a quarter of a century the
scars have faded, but I haven't risked owning an iron without the
annoying auto-shut-off again.
