Hello everybody. I'm new to soldering and I would like to a recommendation of wither I should get this or something from a know brand such as Hakko or Weller. I'm not planning to use in any professional level. Just for personal use (Audio stuff, pi boards and keyboards). I'm really considering this bundles plus a board holder: https://www.amazon.com/Apex-Tool-Group-WES51-Screwdriver/dp/B00O3IBQ3U/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1524397182&sr=1-1&keywords=Weller+WES51+bundle I like Weller more because I feel that I will have better control over the iron because if it's smaller grip. And also this Hakko bundle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C2BHTBI/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B00C2BHTBI&pd_rd_wg=S8au5&pd_rd_r=B35XEZSSPJFKN0GAC8WK&pd_rd_w=vrUHa I know they're significantly better but these are the known brands that are supposedly have great quality.

Seems a bit pricy considering a YiHua 936 can be had for twenty bucks or so.
Hopefully the internals on this unit is better, although without any internal images that would be hard to determine. My YiHua has been going strong for a few years now after replacing one handle for a few bucks.

SomeTechNoobI agree. This looks very much like it's just another Hakko 936 clone. I agree, if it's significantly better quality, or if it came with a significant warranty, it could be worth it. Otherwise, buying a different 936 clone for much less money is a better decision. All of them are still quite good units, despite being clones of a pretty old design. Reliability could be questionable. I did have one of these units fail on me--but replacing it was no big deal, as they are cheap and good.
That said, I recently upgraded from one of these clones to a new Hakko FX-888D (Hakko's replacement for the venerable 936, and it's MILES better. If you're willing to spend $90-$100, I cannot recommend it highly enough. The feel of the iron, the finish of the device--the thing just oozes quality. Plus, it'll last you pretty much forever.
