Although this may be the Weller economy model soldering iron, it still exhibits the superior Weller quality. I bought this to replace another iron that initially had good functionality, but over the years the quality of the replacement tips for it decreased to the point that they only lasted a very short time. This Weller iron has a menu of features, including the iron temperature and also a shutdown feature, if you inadvertently leave it on, like you get side-tracked with another project and forget to shut it off, it goes into a stand-by mode. The shutdown time period is adjustable from the menu. This model doesn't appear to have an "in-use" sensor that more expensive models have, but that's not a big deal for me.

In term of soldering it function like any iron. The WEP70 soldering pencil is like any. The WE1010NA power unit function like any controller, but it is made from bad plastic or material. The power unit was giving off this nasty burnt smell. I thought something was burnt, so I opened the power unit and removed all the removable parts. Then checked every component and discovered the smell was coming from the plastic covers. They were labelled ABS. The smell was so bad that it made the whole office smell. I had to throw away the plastic covers. I took all electronic parts, transformer, triac, led, wires, switch,...etc and stuck them all in a aluminum box. Now the bad smell is gone, and the WE1010NA works like any soldering iron. People will be returning or rejecting this unit of after the first usage.. Read full review

Very nice unit. Have had Weller products for years and find them very reliable. New features also very nice for a upgrade. Keep up the excellent products Weller!

A nice and professional soldering station. I'm new to soldering but this was easy to pick up and use. I was able to get all the starting projects I needed to fix done and I didn't ruin them. It does go into standby and drop the heat quickly so putting it down and then waiting for it to heat back up is a pain, but I probably missed something in the manual. It's great to have nonetheless.

Very nice! I really like the adjustable temp setting and it's small footprint. Doesn't take hardly any space and heats up fast enough! Easy to change tips and seems to work very well. I definitely recommend this iron because it works great and the price is very reasonable and will not break the bank to buy it. Searching to get a better price always helps too!
