Quick 861 DE hot air station unboxing and review

This is my new hot air station which is replacing my old Aoyue INT 852A

The 861DW is more popular but this is the higher power version so I thought I'd make a quick video review.

You may be interested in part 1 of my "SMD tests" where I decided to go for a new machine!

Mentioned in the video:

SDG Electronic reviewed a similar model, "861 X". Video can be found here:

Dosdude1 seems to be more successful than me with the Aoyue:

hi dear, how you convert M/S to LPM L/min

[From_the_mil]

Wonder how this one compares to the DW version

setting low air and temperature on channel 2, is the solution to cool down the heater without parking on stand

I think the Best BST-863 with @RandomHacks upgrade board is a better way to go. It is easy to change the air flow and temperature settings while the nozzle is away from the holder which solves a lot of your negative comments on the Quick station. Though the BST 863 does a bit lower air flow at 180 LPM.

Bought an ATTEN ST-862D, because Louis recommended it. Has 120 l/m and a button. ;)
