To be honest, when I first opened the package, I was shocked at how light the base unit was. It felt like a toy. However, my opinion immediately changed when I started using the soldering station.
In the past, I have had soldering stations that took awhile to heat up and had cold tips (the side of the tip would melt solder, but the point would not). This soldering station has zero of those issues. The iron heats up very quickly, and with a variety of tips, it will suit most applications.
The actual soldering iron is relatively light, and again toyish, but it is ergonomic and allows for precision placement. The stand for the iron in my opinion is excellent. It perfectly marries with the iron and has a nice and convenient area to clean the tip of the iron.
The additional accessories it comes with is appreciated. It comes with a very generous amount of solder (an entire reel) as well as a desoldering vacuum pump and tweezers. Ideally it would have come with some desoldering braid, but at this price I am not going to complain.
So, should you buy it? If you are looking for an economical soldering station, absolutely. You won't be disappointed.
Bonus: It's GREEN which is my favorite color!
