I am a licensed aircraft technician and also hold a military certificate for soldering. I have used many soldering irons. This little iron heats up quick, and the ability to adjust temperature right on the handle is great. It can go down to 80c which makes it useful for melting foams in a controlled manner as well. It remembers the last programmed temperature after you power it off, which is nice. It does not have the On/Off rocker switch as pictured, at least on my US/110 volt unit. Included instruction are not in English, but there is a link in the FAQ to download a set. All you need to know is yellow button=hotter, black=cooler. 900 series tips are also cheap and readily available on Banggood. My trusty Weller will now be my backup iron.
