Good value rework station
Note: I did not buy this unit for the iron, nor have I tried it out yet, so I don't have any opinion on that.
The hot air gun heats up fairly fast. The diaphragm pump is fairly quiet except in the highest 3/4 settings, where it seems to rattle a bit. (edit: woops, don't forget to remove the screw on the bottom that holds the diaphragm pump while shipping! Its much quieter now.) I wasn't prepared for how bulky the unit is, it takes up quite a bit of workbench space.
I have no prior experience using a hot air rework station. When I got the unit, I removed a few ICs from a dead Pentium 4 motherboard as a test. Both a SOIC-8 and a PLCC were removed with ease. More difficult was removing a southbridge BGA, but I managed to do it without ripping up any tracks. Removing the northbridge BGA did not go as well, I ripped up 4-5 tracks in one of the corners. This unit is probably not for you if you want to rework large BGAs, but it probably would do fine for reflowing a BGA when using liquid flux.
All in all, this unit seems to be a great value for the money, and so far I have no regrets getting it.

Great ESP32 board for micropython
This board does it right! The uSD card is connected to the SDIO pins, making this an excellent board for micropython!

Good choice for a phone
1 of 1 found this helpful I upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S4, so this was a pretty big transition. Things were a little bumpy at first with the battery management feature not letting notifications go through from the Med Helper app. After learning how to manage that (Go to Settings, Apps & notifications, Select the App, Advanced, Battery, and turn off Battery Optimization for the app), things went much smoother. Another gotcha are the on screen navigation buttons. It took some time to get used to them being there. While typing, I was pressing the home button more than the spacebar and it was really annoying, but I got used to it, and I'm hardly ever doing that now.
I'm using this phone on Ting CDMA. It gets good reception. I've only had one voice call so no comment there. I get about 2 days of battery life with moderate use. I also updated it to Android 10. No issues there. I got the OtterBox Symmetry case for it, which fits the phone very snugly.
All in all, I am happy with my purchase decision.
