Quick 957DW+ Hot Air Station (580 Watt)

Recommend to a Friend

Decent entry-level value, heat not as advertised

3.0

This is my first hot air station and I specifically chose this one because it seems to be the right balance between cost and performance for someone like me who wants a decent unit for occasional use that doesn't break the bank. I'll be using it for heat shrink and a bit of SMD when needed. I'm not doing anything complex or sensitive. Overall it meets expectations. The hose is made of a material that attracts and sticks to all sorts of hair and dust. The unit I received is not 580W at all. According to my kill-a-watt it's only drawing 458W. It still is able to maintain full heat at full air volume. This seems to be sufficient but the unit should not be sold as 580W when it's actually 460W. Heat and airflow are just fine for my needs. I like the knobs for adjusting heat and air. It makes the unit fast to configure. The shutoff sensor in the handle works well regardless of orientation. I did not have the opportunity to test temperature accuracy.
