Soldron 878D Hot Air Soldering Station

Long lasting

This is a really nice product. I use it for soldering and for de-soldering using the heat pump. While this is a good product by an Indian manufacturer, there are some areas of improvement.1. The power switch is in back panel, and right next to the power socket. So, if you reach to the switch with left hand, it is quite inconvenient to operate (switching off is very difficult). If you reach with right hand, the holder for the heat pump is there... so, that is also not convenient. The optimal location may be above the power socket.2. The screws for the holder for heat pump are quite tight and I could not fully tighten them. Perhaps, a stand similar to that for the soldering iron would be more suitable.3. The temperature and air flow dials are organized in a non-intuitive manner. The two dials for heat gun are right above the connectors for the soldering iron and the heat gun. So, a user tends to reach out to the left dial for soldering iron also, which is wrong. But I think we get used to after some time. A better way may be to vertically align the soldering iron dial on left, and heat gun on right.4. The blue colored plastic used for edges is a bit weak or thin and when they assemble the product, it can become light blue due to the stress of getting compressed.5. The soldering iron could be supplied with 2-3 additional tips of various sizes. These cost only 100-150 rupees or so, and can save the company, and the customers the trouble of ordering and shipping them separately. If someone is ordering this machine, they are definitely power users and would need more tips.Overall, it is very nice product at a reasonable price. So, go for it.

This look really like a genuine soldron hot air station, i heard there are many fake chinese builds in market.... So far it worked nice without any problem except... Power supply cord was loose and i had to replace them..... They have given only one soldering bit and 2 nozzle.

Very use full productVery easy to useVery fast wrk use

The Blower is nonfunctional. Still I am putting the stars as because of the following.I believe the product is great.Amazon have refunded the amount. A part of refund yet not processed which is POA.Once I get the full refund I may proceed to purchase the same product again.I have given 4 star because I did not get the advantage of the product on date of a key requirement.

Overall a good product manufactured in India. I would have given a 5 star if there was an assortment of soldering iron tip. There was just one pointed tip. They could have added about 5 different tips and charged more and save us the trouble of ordering more soldering iron tips.

I have used this only 2 times and the iron heats up within 15 seconds to 400 deg c. I did use the hot air gun for heat shrink sleve. IRS is easy to work and also on pocket.

Received broken product, should be handled with more care.
