Works well and is a god-send for removing components without damaging the pc boards.

The desoldering gun works pretty well. I love being able to clean solder joints so quickly. Left me wondering why I waited so long! That said there is a cost to all this convenience and that is the gun requires some extra maintenance. You got to be constantly poking the nozzle and spring filter in during use with the cleaning pin or else it will clog up and lose its suction power. I also found it helps to remove the spring filter after use and remove as much of the captured solder as possible. This is not as annoying as it sounds but be aware there is additional cleaning involved.As mentioned by another reviewer you got to wait a few minutes for the gun to pre-heat. When it's ready the station emits a loud beeping noise letting you know. After 5 minutes or so of inactivity the station turns itself off. The product includes a few replacement nozzle tips and replaceable parts (e.g., spring filter, cleaning pins and filtering pads). I like these consumable parts can be bought separately from YIHUA. I am sure I am going to need them.Initially I was going to buy the ZD-915 from Pro Digital, but then found this model for less. I already had a positive experience with a YIHUA soldering station so this (and the availability of replaceable parts) made more sense to me. So far I've done a few projects and this gun has made desoldering so much easier. I know there are more expensive choices but for my needs this product has met my expectations.

This is the second Yihua device I have purchased. The first was a soldering iron + hot air rework station. That unit has always worked pretty well and has never had any problems. So I purchased the Desoldering Station (Yihua 948). I have used the Desoldering Station a total of five times since I purchased it in June of 2024. The unit has mostly sat in it's original box in the closet. I just used the Desoldering Station (for the fifth and final time) and the main unit started smoldering and smoking each time I tried to use the gun. It would only smoke while holding the trigger, not during idle. This unit is clearly defective. I will be contacting the company. Will update this review if needed.UPDATE: Yihua was quick to take care of the problem. They are in fact a reliable company. I won't hesitate to do business with them again in the future. I have appropriately updated this review from 1 Star to 4 Stars. It would be 5, but I shouldn't have had to deal with a defective unit, the return and being without a desoldering gun for two weeks.

Took my a second to figure out as it got clogged within sucking solder from 3 pins on a Xbox controller joystick. I took it apart and had to stick my soldering iron into the tube, wait for it to heat up, and then shake the thing until the solder came spilling out. I'm not sure exactly what caused the solder to harden inside the tube but it was the only time that it happened. Super easy to clean, heats up fast, and even comes with multiple replacements for various parts. Highly recommend for the money. Love the design of it and how small it is and doesn't take much space on the desk. Comes with extra tips which is nice. I boosted the temp up to 450C after I cleaned it after the clog and it hasn't clogged since. Love it and got my joysticks out in no time! I put low melt solder (138C I believe) into the current solder to make an allow, leave the desoldering iron on the solder for a few seconds and wiggle the pin back and forth, and then I suck the solder out and it gets EVERYTHING every time.

I wish i would have bought this years ago. I started out trying just a plunger deal and my soldering iron, then bought an electric with the plunger built in, that one was 30 watt and it really didn't get hot enough, so I got a 40 watt with a plunger and that really didn't get hot enough and I've used copper braid and that always seemed like a pain in the you know where so i broke down and bought this. As an example I just desoldered 6 caps i marked them and within 10 seconds they were desoldered. I'm pretty shaky but if I had a steady hand I bet I could have got them done in 6 seconds. Just so much easier. Has a mess of extra tips and the filter things inside the tube that collects the solder. I think the tips have .8mm and 1.2 mm but I had a couple bigger caps with thicker leads and I could barely get the largest tip down onto the leads. If that should happen again I'll just enlarge the hole in the tip slightly. Usually I don't think that will happen. I think it heats up pretty quick. I usually turn it on, mark the solder pads I need to desolder, double check and triple check (mistakes are easier to avoid than to correct) and by then it beeps telling me it's up to temp. Put it on the spot and pull the trigger for vacuum and it's desoldered. Literally one second, may even be quicker if you have a steady hand. For soldering I even built a fixture to hold my iron steady. Mine I guess is the older model? It's only desoldering, i thought there is a newer one with a soldering gun also but mines only the desoldering. I've probably used it 10 times or so so hopefully it will hold up. It's a fairly heavy unit, i was expecting some sort of lightweight cheap thing but this is pretty heavy and looks to be built extremely well. If you do any desoldering more than just a few spots this thing is really what you need. Just saves so much time but for me it's more about avoiding frustration.
