Given that this is a cheap copy of a cheap copy of a decent soldering station, and that I'd read horror stories about the electrical safely of these items, I was prepared to be disappointed with such a low cost piece of hardware. But I gambled, and I won. The earth connection is sound. There's no earth leakage. It really does heat up quickly, and is also fitted with a sensor to shut down whilst the 'iron' is in the holster. If you're an electronics hobbyist and work with SMD, this is an essential item for your workbench (aka dining table!).

Based on one operation to remove a computer tablet charging socket from its logic board, preceded by a few experiments on a damaged cicuit board - the hot air gun is easy to set up to the desired temperature and upon starting heats up displaying temp as it rises. once at temp, it blows a good flow onto the work causng the chosen component to be released as the solder melts. Upon placing the gun back in its cradle, the fan continues until the element has cooleed before shutting down. I can't vouch for its durability, but very happy with the product so far!

So I bought this machine to desoldering bga chips and reballing it. It works how it should also keeping the correct temperature. I do recommend this product for everyone.
