This unit is both good and bad. It's bad because it's a lot less portable. It's good because the vacuum is not attached to the gun so it's lighter and some people find it easier to use. At $130 and $20 cheaper than the hakko, they are both the some price as far as I'm concered.

I went with the Hakko myself, great reputation, great product. Also, I didn't need another "soldering station" taking up space.
