I received my order and I'm using this soldering iron this week and I'm pleased with the purchase.
The iron heats up quickly, it's easy to use, and the controls are intuitive. If you're doing small electronics work like I am, the iron gets the job done and I appreciate the mini-size in my cramped workstation. It is worth calling out that small size does indeed translate to a low thermal capacity. Consequently, I find myself sometimes raising the temperature to compensate, especially when soldering to larger components. [Yes, I am aware of potential consequences and I am careful with sensitive components. Quicker joints are cleaner joints, though.]
I'm rolling along smoothly with my project. Would recommend to others.
