YIHUA 939D+ Digital Soldering Station, 75W Equivalent with Precision Heat Control (392°F to 896°F) and Built-in Transformer. ESD Safe, Lead Free with °C/°F display (Green)

This has a US electrical supply only 110 Volts 60Hz not suitable for use in the UK. Not just a case of changing the plug unfortunately. Very disappointing as bought as a Christmas present. The power supply rating was not in the product description so expected that as it was sold on Amazon UK that it would be compatible with UK electrical systems. The product information omitted the voltage and Hertz rating. Given 1 star because of the fact that we were unable to test it because of the voltage issue.

The plug fitted is a US plug. Not a simple case of changing the plug as the input AC voltage is 110v and not 230v as in the UK. Why the seller is sending these out to the UK is beyond me. Completely useless here.

This soldering iron heats up quickly and stays hot for medium to small sized soldering. I have been using this for about a year now building and reparing rc cars and fpv quadcopters. This is absolutly high enough quality for the hobbiest like me. Especially for the price. I probably used this way more than the average hobiest in that last year and I did have an issue with the handle cracking. This has a 1 year warranty so I was covered! The support through amazon was super quick and I had a new handle in a couple days. I did not know you can replace just the handle so that a plus because the handles are available here on amazon and they are very affordable as well.

I can’t believe I spent so much money on this product thinking it would be fine. I don’t recommend this, don’t buy it. It looks premium but performance wise terrible. It stopped working after my return window closed so i can’t even get a refund.

As advertised, this soldering station is heavy, similar to my old Weller that just died after 30 years. It works well. I like the way the LED blinks when it's heating up and solid when it reached the set temperature, you quickly know when it's ready. The only drawback is you can't store the bits in the holes provided in the iron stand. They'll fall off. I wanted to enlarge the holes but the bits don't have flange, so it won't work anyway.

This is the best soldering station I have come across for the price! The size of it isn't huge, perfect for a hobby desk. It is suitable for small wires and large; the biggest I have soldered with it is 10GA. This thing heats up fast and the tips are very durable. The small holder for the gun doesn't have the best stability, so be cautious not to tip it over.
