This is an excellent buy for a first soldering station. I have used it for the last 2 days with out any issue. It is an excellent value! You get an assortment of tips, some anti static tweeters, a great stand, extra heating element and a mag lamp. The analog control is very nice. The only complaints are the flat screwdriver shape tip isn't very.. flat, the lamp base needs more weight for stability the blue led used to show that it is heating is a little to dim and it doesn't heat up as fast as it lets on. It shows it heats up in about 6 seconds but I have found that it takes about 15 or so seconds to reach the actual temp which, honestly, is perfectly acceptable. Absolutely happy with my purchase and will do until I feel like investing into something like a Hakko station, but I think I will use this until it quits before then.Read full review

Overall acceptable but very sluggish on most point-to-point solder lug joints even when set to 800 degrees. My well known maker 40 watt with a 600 degree tip just outperfoms this iron all day long. Would rather have pre-set temperatures rather than the fussy potentiometer adjustment. The little blue led that indicates heating is too dim to be seen in average light.

This is my first digital temperature controlled soldering iron and I'm very pleased with it's performance so far. It's great to be able to dial in a certain temperature for the required soldering job. It heats up quickly and holds temperature very well. I also like that it came supplied with a variety of soldering tips and an extra heating element. The cord on the lighted magnifier is too short, not a big deal, I just replaced it with a longer cord. All in all, the soldering system is working great for my circuit board assembly needs. So far I have made 5 regulated power supplies, 3 audio amplifiers, a zener diode checker, a transistor checker and a 555 timer control for my porch light with it without a glitch. I would definitely buy another if needed.

This iron heats up pretty quickly which reduces setup time. The temperature indicator also allows me to see when the iron is ready or if more heat is needed.
