I love this thing, heats up super fast, very accurate and fast tempreature readout, USB C powered.
It seems to perform about the same or slightly better than my Hakko 888D.
One minor issue so far is the ergoonmics aren't amazing so if you using it for a long time you might get some RSI or cramp issues. I bet you could 3d print a better handle for it though.
Also the interface is a little annoying to naviagte, but manageable.
For the price, I'm impressed. Particularly if you already have a high enough wattage USB PD power supply, it needs a 65 watts (make sure that's 65 watts for one port, some of the cheaper ones are labelled 65w but that's a total power for all the ports, not just one port.)
