pros:
- handle is nice and tiny
- stand is a big and heavy, solid piece of metal
cons:
- it makes a quiet whining noise even when turned off (AC/DC switching PSU)
- the pump is definitely not a brushless vortex one, it has a membrane pump
- the cable/hose is not flexible enough for precise SMD work. The hose itself is made of silicone, the cables inside is probably the culprit.
- plastic case
- cooling fan runs full power even in sleep mode
- parameter setting is a bit annoying (try to go from 100°C to 400°C, it takes a while)
