YKEYOriginal MHP30 Electric Hot Plate Preheater Soldering Preheating Station Welder Rework Heater Lab 60W 30X30mm (MHP30 + 65W Power Supply)

Very useful with small PCBs for rework (at least how I am using it). Is also useful for larger PCBs but you'll have to rig up something to hold the board up.

The product as it stands is great on it's own. It has three modes that can act as a solder profile to more efficiently solder your parts. However this newest version does not have IronOS support yet, so you are limited to the included firmware. There are rumblings that maybe you can flash and swap an STM32, but for $125 it's a risky venture. For now, I'll keep using it until IronOS maybe supports it down the line.

Out of box will not work. The display is counting up, and the animated arrows are going up (assuming this means heating) temp stays 29 degrees. Watched several videos, there basically are no instructions and it looks simple if the device is working...

Works quickly, easily controlled. Great for re-flow, dismantling and new pcb with paste. Buy two so it will be possible to move parts from one to the other. Highly recommended!

The base of this hotplate is 30mm square. It works as advertised, and it's amazing that they can cram this functionality into such a small package, but it's not really useful outside of very very small boards.
