  Excellent value for money, it absorbs correctly and has cheap spare parts. For those who say that the fan makes noise, they need to make a modification to its voltage. The fan is 12 volts and the manufacturer supplies it with 18 volts, the result being high speed, noise, and eventual damage. Since it will be purchased by an electronic technician, they can add a 100ohm 1watt resistor to the fan's power supply line, so that the voltage will go down to 12 volts and it will work quietly from now on. It is also good to set it to exhaust air outside because in mine, they had it sucking air from outside in, which is also incorrect. With these two modifications, the machine will be perfect and silent.

  It is quite good, it just needs frequent cleaning, with regular use every two days for sure, it is not so troublesome, just annoying.

  Also, it has a small sponge on the nozzle that easily breaks, it has 2-3 inside but if they run out I don't know if they can be found, but logically someone can fix it on their own.

  Also, it takes quite a while to heat up. Besides that, it helps a lot, although I sound negative in general it is very convenient especially for small ports like HDMI or any other port

  So far it works, but the gun got damaged at the metal-plastic joint due to temperature and broke. I fixed it somehow, but after that, it burned out the resistor, and all this happened in a very short period of time. I bought a new one for about €25, and since then it works just fine, but I also don't push it too hard. It needs to be handled carefully to avoid applying too much force and to wait for the glue to melt properly, and it requires frequent cleaning with the wires included in the package. Also, be careful when cleaning the tip not to damage the rubber on the glass

  There is no better value for money, it is worth it. However, this does not mean that it is a serious device or that it can be compared to other more expensive options. It is simply a decent product.

  I have had it for about 4 years. Its use is amateur, but when I use it, I use it for a decent amount of work and not just for 1-2 uses.

  Well, it has never disappointed me. The only downside is that it requires regular cleaning, maybe even after each use. I bought it for 100 euros, but I see that its price has increased by about 50%, so I was lucky.

  It is the second one I am buying ... the first one was eaten, borrowed and never returned. It is quite good, with silicone cables (they will not harden over time), quite durable (gun-shaped), with sufficient suction power. It does not leave you disappointed. The old one I had was worse (it did not have silicone cables). The new one is much better in quality. I will not go into details. Overall, it does what it promises ... comfortably.

  One negative aspect is that it takes too long to reach the desired temperature. The old one did the same, though.

  Honest ... and necessary tool !!!

  Well. It detaches amazingly on ESD boards. However, it is too thick for SMD. Depending on the workload, it requires daily cleaning otherwise it will clog. The filter on the gun needs frequent replacement. The replacement tip costs 2 euros, the filters 25 cents, and the whole gun around 30 euros. It takes a while to heat up. It accurately measures the temperature of the tip. It makes quite a noise. It is worth every euro and perhaps the best in terms of cost-performance ratio.

  Flawless, it does its job. It just needs a good cleaning after each use.
