Customers are mixed about the weight of the soldering station. Some mention that it's very light and easy to use on circuit, while others say that the base could be heavier to help keep the iron in it.

"...The X-Tronic looks modern. It's extremely light, it feels like there's nothing inside of it. But it doesn't tip over, and it's easy to move around...." Read more

"...Second, and more importantly, the station base is incredibly light even with the solder holder and a spool of solder...." Read more

"...The unit is tiny and doesn't weigh anything-- which means it slides around the bench as you use it...." Read more

"...It is so light that apparently some reviewers consider it negative, but consider that it weights 2 pounds when you put a pound of solder spool...." Read more

EDIT

My station died. About 10 months after purchasing it, I went to use it and it would only display 181. The iron would not heat up.

I have only been using it a few times a month so it is not under heavy usage. I would consider it moderate use.

Because of the 181 displayed and the fact nothing would work I assumed it was the station itself and not the iron since the element was still in excellent condition.

I contacted X-Tronic through Amazon. They asked me to go to their website and start a claim, which I did. I explained how the unit was functioning currently (not at all other than the 181 on the display). They sent be a complete brand new unit. It took about a week to arrive.

So they have very good customer service.

Note one thing I realized about this unit that I should have thought about before is that you cannot just replace the iron if it goes bad. There is no jack to plug the iron in, it's wired directly into the base station. If I have a problem I will replace the new iron with the old one by removing the wires and rewiring in the old iron, but the average person with no spare parts will have to replace the entire unit.

When this unit is working it works well, but if the base station dies again I think I will spend the extra money for a Hakko or a Weller.

I would take a star off because the iron broke down, but there customer service was so good I think they deserve a star for that.

Original Review:

I have been a professional tech for over 30 years.

I am constantly soldering, although nowhere near as much as I used to. I had been using a HAKKO soldering station that was pretty good but the unit had been dropped at least once, had a heavy part dropped on top of it, and the power switch failed (I soldered it closed so it powers up as soon as you plug it in).

I use a Weller at home that I have had for almost 30 years. Even though it was beat up and had no iron when I found it, I cleaned it up, bought an iron and it's been working like a champ ever since. However, Weller soldering stations are expensive. I did not want to spend $200 or more for a soldering station I don't use as much as I used to.

Cruising around on Amazon gave me a bunch of choices. I picked one out based on the availability of tips and heating elements, as well as satisfaction shown in reviews.

I received this XTronic station today. I have set it up and tested it. Everything seems to work very well. The iron heats up quickly, the regulation works well, the iron is nice and light, the cords nice and flexible.

At this point, this station looks like it should work perfectly for my needs. I am little worried that the manual says the heating element may only last a year under heavy use. On the Hakko we would get about 5 years of heavy use, and on the Weller I have never had to change either the tip or the heating element, but it is used sparingly.

So, I have to say the station looks excellent and I was very happy with the testing I did. At this point I just need to know what the longevity is like. If I have any issues in the near future I will come back and edit this review.
