FNIRSI DWS-200 200W Precision Digital Soldering Station Kit, with 3 F210 & 6 F245 Soldering Iron Tips and 2 Helping Hands, Temp Value & Curve Mode, 3 Temperature Storage, Full-Color Display

I purchased this primarily for the wattage and the included smaller iron. It has done nothing but impress me with its features and simplicity to use. The included tips are high quality JBC style and the hot-swap feature is very handy. I was a little leery on the “cooldown while docked” feature but it definitely helps preserve the cleanliness of the tip by reducing oxidation. It heats back up enough to melt solder in 1 second and achieves full temp in 4 seconds. After using for almost 1 month, I will say that this soldering station blows my go-to Weller station out of the water (no, I don’t use it in water, just a saying!) and is a rival to $500- $1,000 dollar units, hands down. FNIRSI products are very affordable but don’t be fooled, they make quality stuff that is usually on par with the brand-names (we’re not talking lab grade here) at a fraction of the price. I’ve had great luck with their products and from what I’ve heard, they take care of their customers too.

Very nice and compact unit. I create electronic gizmos and I need a medium to high power soldering unit.The easy at which the tips are changed is very impressive. Going from tiny tip to medium and the back easy quickly done.The power setting is super easy and very finely controlled. Different Temps for different solders.

The media could not be loaded. Had this unit for about a month now and I must say it has really impressed me at this price point. Isn’t footprint is pretty small if desk space is an issue. Absolutely love the hibernate/sleep function, heats up in 1 second with the 210 tips. My only gripe is the brush it comes with for tip cleaning kinda sucks. I’m going to replace it with a brass wool type eventually.

I been using it for small cables and it does the job, but when you start soldering bigger parts it doesn't work.

Only a few reviews for the 200 and 245. This thing is a beast for heating up. I think that was my problem the 1st few times, too hot. Start way low because it says it calibrated the temp but it still seemed a bit hot. Maybe??Now, my review is only after a week. I keep the tip tinner on hand for the fine tips cause they don't hold the solder that well but I'm impressed for a over seas model, for sure. Build quality is heavy duty. I haven't used all the tips but it's a nice built machine.

This is what you need for the newer electronics. It has all the features you will need and more. It functions right out of the box and includes plenty of tips. I am very impressed. It works well as replacing my Hakko 888.

Best solder station I’ve owned, temperature can easily be controlled and sleep mode easily achieved to save soldering tips from damage.

The soldering station has been performing exceptionally well. It heats up almost instantly and includes a good variety of tips. I own the model with both the 245 and 210 handles. However, the smaller 210 handle comes with fewer tip options compared to the 245 handle.Switching between the handles can be inconvenient, as you need to unplug one to connect the other, which requires pulling firmly on the cable—a process that could be smoother. Additionally, the power cable can get in the way when the station is placed in tight spaces.Another issue arises when changing tips for the 210 handle. The indents on the 210 tips are too small for the tip changer to grip securely, causing it to slip through. This makes it nearly impossible to replace the small tips without using needle-nose pliers. In contrast, the 245 tips work perfectly, thanks to their larger indents that allow for easy swapping.Occasionally, there’s also a problem with the station failing to register the tips when they are swapped out. While this doesn’t happen often, it’s worth noting.Despite these flaws, this is one of the best affordable cartridge soldering stations with dual handles that I’ve found on the market.
