If you want to avoid spitting, and get lots of steam, get an iron with a separate water tank. Several companies, including Rowenta, make various versions. I use mine in conjunction with an ironing table that has a suction fan, which means I can use a lower heat than the cotton setting, and still get good results on cotton, wool and linen. They also double as steamers, since you can hold the iron upright and send steam wherever you like.
Here's one example at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Rowenta-DG5030-Station-Stainless-Soleplate/dp/B000MT51 9O/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1337644802&sr=8-5 AND, they are never auto shut off!

I have considered buying a gravity feed or other high end iron, but they only have a one year warranty. I remember when appliances were over-engineered and were designed to last years past the warranty period, but now they seem to die just after the period ends, if they last that long. Does anyone know of a store that will extend the warranty period? Any suggestions for a really good iron are greatly appreciated.
