Our Top Picks
Exclusive Rework Stations
1 = 3 – You now get three professionally integrated stations in one compact package. The 853D Series comes equipped with a soldering iron station, a hot air rework station, and a power supply testing station.
Professionally Integrated – We don’t just jam three stations into one circuit board and call it a day. You can use all three stations simultaneously. Because we’re sure you’ll appreciate the much valued time saved by not having to operate three machines back-and-forth.
PowerHouse – The station converts 830w of pure electrical energy into sheer performance on its soldering iron and hot air gun. With such ample power reserve, each tool can maximize their performance potential in rapid heating, and keeping their temperatures stabilized for your work.
Extended Lifespan – A series of assistive functions to help preserve your station in mint condition for longer. You’ll not only save on electricity bills but also the cost to replace wearable parts. These functions include sleep mode, automatic shut-down, and more.
Choose YIHUA with Confidence – Enjoy our 12-month US- exclusive manufacturer technical coverage and 24/7 professional assistance on Amazon. Note: This model is designed to operate on 110-127V with a US-standard power plug.

Fantastic Upgrade from Basic/Beginner Equipment
When your hobbies have caused you to outgrow the $40 soldering iron, and you want to upgrade without breaking the bank, this is the station to get. Or, if you’re about to jump in to soldering and reflow for the first time, this station will give you the luxury introduction as it comes with everything needed to get started.Prior to my own purchase, I was mocked by some friends who though the “3 in 1” branding was corny, and that at the price, it *had* to be junk. This couldn’t be further from what I’ve experienced.The station itself is hefty and well crafted in all the ways that matter. In the “unexpected upgrade” category, the cables for the soldering iron and hot air wand are buttery smooth and do not kink up. Also, I’m using the hot air way, way more than expected. Since I have yet to tackle any significant surface-mount projects, I figured the hot air would be an under-used feature. Wrong! I use the hot air wand extensively for all the heat shrink I go through (no more digging for lighters). Conversely, I’m using the bench power supply less than I thought, and using the 5v port much more than I expected.This is one of the advantages of the 3-in-1 design – the way you *actually* use it can vary quite a bit from the way you *think* you’re going to use it. And because it’s 3-in-1, it’s completely flexible. And since it has no AI on board, it doesn’t care how you use it. :)The sleep mode for the soldering iron and the auto-shut off for the hot air are incredibly useful. Combined allow you to just focus on your work, with no need to fiddle with the device settings. Notably, the spin up time for the soldering iron is FAST – either from cold or from sleep mode. I’m wishing now that I upgraded a few years ago from the el-cheap-o $40 soldering iron. I’m surprised at how much more pleasant & hassle-free it is to do project work with this Yihua station.Because I happen to do a lot of work with LEDs, I opted to get the 3A version of the power supply (which still isn’t very much). If you don’t need 3A, you can save about $20 with the 2A variant of this station.As some others have noted, some of the accessories aren’t at the same level of quality as the core station. But it’s not a significant difference, and if you’re upgrading from more basic equipment or this is your first-time soldering/rework/bench power, you probably won’t care.Definitely would buy again, or upgrade to an even better station by this same manufacturer!

This station is really nice and great for basic soldering and rework.
I bought this after a lot of research into many different options. I wanted it for basic repairs, fixing older electronics (like my original iPod, an NVR, and replacing capacitors in older Mac computers). It works like a charm. Heats up fast, with easy to use controls, and feels nice and sturdy. The manual is pretty good. The readouts are clear and easy to read. Figuring out which plugs are for voltage output and which are for testing is a little confusing, but the manual is clear about which is which. I love this little unit and got it on sale, here on Amazon for a really nice price. You can go wrong with this for most users. Pros will want a little better rework solution, but for most it’s a gem. You won’t be sorry you purchased this unit.

Amazing Product
I’ve had this unit for a while now and I love it! It is holding up extremely well and is a really versatile tool. I initially got this for some jewelry work that I do, but the use of the tool has expanded a great deal since I bought it.I use the Hot Air Rework Gun a lot. It is easy to handle, and I love the temperature and fan controls. I’ve started to use it in my woodwork where I can smooth out my finish or brown the wood a bit, giving it a more rustic look. The hot air rework gun heats up in seconds and is quick when I need to change temperatures. There is also a switch that will put the Hot Air Gun into a sleep mode while it is in the cradle or allows the Hot Air Gun to run continuously.The soldering station is really nice as well! Again, it is quick in heating up and to change temperatures. It also reaches a nice high temperature that allows the solder to melt really fast. Lately I’ve also been using this station for wood burning as well. It really is a great tool.

nice – but not quite commercial grade
Acquired as an upgrade to a couple of aging soldering irons (and the need for a hot air rework gun), and overall Im pleased with the system. Its more ‘prosumer’ grade, but does the trick. THe air gun works well albeit its a tad bulky with the fan in the gun (as opposed to having that in the station), but I do like the design – makes replacement easier in the future. Overall it feels good working with the tools – they are lightweight and seem to keep temperature well. I dont have a way to measure the accuracy of the temperature readings, but having a level of control is nice for small microelectronics.My only complaint was keeping a steady output voltage with the power supply… the adjustment rheostat is quite sensitive to any touch adn to seemed to fluctuate slightly at lower voltages.

Very nice piece of equipment
Iâve probably put over 3 hours on this machine, using all the functions, and I have to say Iâm impressed with the quality for the price. Great 3-in-1 station.

Good value for the money, good for DIY projects and electronics.
My video review is fairly thorough but overall, this is a good unit. It does a good job with temperature control and the sleep features are nice to have. This unit is fantastic for working on LED strips, DC circuits and automotive applications. The power supply module is the weakness of this unit, but if you take care when you work, you can minimize issues. When you toggle settings with the red buttons, it isn’t always clear what you’ve selected. Overall, this is a good value for the money.

Great value – No issues
Really low price for a great set of tools.PROS: I have 40 years of bench experience and prefer the $1000 tools, but this kit makes a fine companion when prototyping in my home shop. It more than meets my needs.Both heaters come up to heat up really fast and sleep timers are set well for bench use. It came with lots of soldering tips.CONS: Did not find any.

I’ve never had anything other than the old trusty Weller soldering gun. This station has already easily paid for itself with may repairs I have been able to do with it. It’s top notch quality….I should’ve bought one years ago….I use it so much.

It works absolutely perfect good adjustments heats very quickly and consistently very good purchase for the money feels very heavy duty mostly metal besides very few things dials stuff like that things you expect
