For amateur use, it is VFM. I use it for soldering on chips and it hasn't disappointed me. The only thing that requires attention sometimes is that it has an automatic shut-off when you place the gun in its base... it doesn't turn off.
Excellent not only for its price but also generally as a tool. Indeed, what many mention is true to some extent, and even when closed, it emits a slight hum, so I plugged it into a power strip with a switch and turn it off from there. It has been incredibly convenient for me. It heats up very quickly and its construction is very good.
The only thing that bothers me is that after every job, as soon as you finish, you have to unplug it because it makes an annoying buzzing noise even when the device is turned off
Well, for the money it's simply value for money. Obviously at this price it's honest. The buttons may look like a game, but they have good responsiveness and the quality is not so bad. It's for amateurs and professionals for small chips of course and not only depending. The sound they mention is not so true, so don't be scared, it's barely audible, you have to be picky to hear it or put it on your device. Unless it's just me. The tip of the soldering iron is quite thin but there are others in the market. For me, being on the market for so many years says something. In conclusion, it had quick responsiveness and nothing was missing from the packaging. It stands honestly against machines double the price!!! Highly recommended.
Awesome station!! Its heating is within 10-30 seconds to reach 480 degrees.. Spare parts everywhere in the market tips with internal diameter up to 4.5 mm. The only downside is the noise it makes with the transformer even when you have the front switches closed, which is solved by placing a general switch on the back if you are knowledgeable. (as shown in the photo). Perfect for amateur and professional use.
The job it does is fine, I agree about the motor noise, however, I would like to inform you that it is defective. I spoke to the store where I bought it and they sent me another one, but the second one was broken at the back in terms of safety, although it didn't make any noise. Of course, it was sealed, it's not the store's fault, it's cheap Chinese manufacturing. For professional use, I recommend spending a little more on the Best 898D!
The soldering iron is very good, as well as the hot air gun. It heats up to 350 degrees in 20-30 seconds. The only negative thing about it is that you can constantly hear the sound of its transformer (buzzing), even when it is closed. If you have it next to you, it becomes annoying and the only solution is to unplug it every time.
A very good tool for both amateur and professional use. Heats up quickly, the airflow is more than satisfactory, and it has an automatic standby if you leave it on its base. It is the best choice on the market for value for money.
It is my first one that I am getting, as an amateur I wanted such a machine either for small-scale projects or for repairs on consoles and HDMI ports, it heats up quickly, it has a standby mode if placed on its base, and it has good airflow with the tips it has depending on what you want to work on. A good and useful machine in my opinion, I just wish the cable for the gun was a liiiittle longer.
The product overall, for amateur use, is something perfect. This is because it is easy to use and has some features that help prevent unintentional misuse (automatic shut-off when placing the gun on the base). What I would like it to do better is to be easier to use when it comes to larger chips (such as desktops). Other than that, I highly recommend it for something simple.
Incredible product, I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start getting involved in this hobby. However, for serious professional use, I would suggest something a little more expensive.
For its price and for the use I make of it, it is decent. The only negative thing is that it did not include the screws needed to attach the base to the side (maybe this happened to me, of course).
At least honest. I will agree with other comments about the plastic buttons, but the point is that it does the job well. Minimal heating time and I was impressed by the fact that the station goes into "standby" mode when the soldering iron is placed on its base. It cools down gradually and below 100 degrees it turns off and the fan stops until you lift it up from the base. Easily recommended.
Good value for money. I can say it is more powerful than more expensive branded machines in the same category, of course. It is mainly used for soldering SMD boards of mobile phones and laptops. It easily desolders components with a great grounding underneath.
Very good value for money. You pay about €50 and you get €50 worth. Heats up incredibly fast, which is logical, and has a fairly good air adjustment, although I would like a little more in some "difficult" cases. This means that it is not for anything more than hobbyist or amateur use. Its construction is okay. Up to there. It has a metal chassis, but the switch and buttons for temperature adjustment are like toys. Obviously, they are for small detachments, mobiles, tablets, etc. Definitely not for large integrated circuits, even though it has "tips" of various diameters. I only recommend it for someone who wants to use it lightly, or for practice on very small integrated circuits for someone who is just starting out. All the stars are there only considering its price.
What can I say about the money it costs? (I got it for 45€ including shipping).
Resolder normally. Reflow and whatever else you want. I don't understand why some people say you can't ask for much from it. Personally, I am very satisfied, of course I don't have it for professional use, but for personal use.
YIHUA and my soldering iron (936) but also the hot air station (858D). Although very economical, they work perfectly compared to many other soldering irons I have tried and are simply a waste of money.
For its price, it is good because you cannot expect much from a unit of 30-40 euros. As for its construction, it has a metal chassis. The grounding is a big issue, as in some units it is not correct. Before plugging it in, take a look to see if you have any issues. In terms of power, it is not suitable for large BGA chips, for example in laptops, but it is good for mobile phones or when you want to remove a screen or a plastic with controlled temperature.
I have had it for about 2 years with occasional use for small jobs, and it has not had any problems. Personally, when I got it, I did a burn out test with full temperature and air to see if it would have any issues, but there were none. However, it also depends on what piece you get.
For someone who is starting as a hobbyist or wants a unit to use occasionally for simple tasks that do not require much power, it is decent for its price.
Of course, there are better Chinese-made machines in terms of assembly quality, material quality, safety, and power, like the Aouye, but there we are talking about 150-200 euros.
I believe that for its price, it is the best. I have had it for about 2-3 months and so far it has not presented any problems. Also, I should mention that for someone who intends to use it heavily, it would be preferable to purchase the Atten 858D (100+ euros). I, on the other hand, do not use it for any particularly heavy use, and the main reason I bought it was mainly for shrink tubing and occasional soldering - nothing more than that. I give it 4 stars and not 5 solely because of the build quality (again, for its price, it is fine!), as the buttons, for example, seem a bit "fake" to say the least...
Furthermore, if you want to see how it works, a full review, etc., you can watch a video I have made about this station. Link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOjmCGowa3k
After 7 years, it made a grand entrance and went in the trash. I had changed the heating element in the hot air once, the soldering iron was useless from the first month, but I didn't care much because I had the HAKKO 888D.
It impresses me that this particular one has reached up to 140 euros.
There are other higher quality machines for that price.
The first time I bought it, it was 70 euros in 2016 and it arrived DOA. There was no other available, so I got my money back. Then I found it on sale for 47.5 euros, I used it occasionally, and for the money I paid back then, it was worth it. But as I said before, for someone to spend 140 euros on this machine... It's not worth it.
Για την προηγούμενη τιμή (35 ευρώ)πάρα πολύ καλό, προσεγμένη κατασκευή (και εσωτερικά) και έρχεται με μια μύτη, παρόλο που στο κατάστημα έλεγαν οτι δεν περιέχει.
