This is a great buy for the hobbyist. I used this for a year or two then upgraded to the Hakko. If I’m honest the Hakko only really shows its superiority when I’m doing bigger stuff that needs some extra grunt. I use this units hot air often and the iron as a 2nd iron along side my Hakko and am very happy with it. One thing I will say is get the genuine Hakko tips for the copy iron and you’ll notice a massive difference in the capability of this iron. I would highly recommend this unit.

Looking for a rework station for quite a while and found this one. Wish I'd never bothered. One leg missing out of the box so would wobble every time you touched it. Unfortunately I couldn't even get that far as the power lead wouldn't even fit the unit properly so couldn't even turn it on. Obviously fired through a conveyer belt in China with no quality control whatsoever. Now I have to send it back, wait for my money to try again to find a unit I can at least use. Totally avoid this one.

Needed a decent occasional unit for fine work, small footprint, easy to use and reliable. Seems to fit the bill just fine. I'm no expert in electronic re-flow, DIP soldering but, for the price it feels excellent and I can add tip accessories as required. I can't give it an excellent rating because I am not an expert in this field.

Good enough temperature holding soldering iron. The hot air gun is not as amazing because air flow is not as strong as I used to work on, but good enough for desoldering components. I like its blue design and professional looking blue displays :) And as fantastic gift as can of flux was cute :)

Compact, sleek and nice design. Good grip on the soldering iron and fast warm-up time. The only "low-cost" desoldering hot-air station (I have seen) which has detachable cable to the gun. Decent build-quality.
