What Customers Are Saying
The soldering iron has mixed reviews. Many found it affordable and reliable for general electronics work, with the built-in LED light being a helpful feature. However, some customers were disappointed, reporting the iron did not get hot enough, had a short lifespan, and lacked quality compared to expectations. The lack of a stand was also noted as a downside. The reviews suggest the iron may work well for basic needs but has limitations and may not be suitable for more demanding applications.

Diasppointrd
Purchased this soldering iron to replace one that died. After 40 pcb commections, the tip looked as in the photos. Given the price and limited access of replacement tips , I am .........disappointed.
Disappointed
Purchased this item to replace an older one that finally quit. After soldering 40 pcb connections the tip appears as in the photos. Add to this the limited availability of replacement tips only at a price that seems bit high, this was a disappointing experience.
Did not last
Would Not RecommendI'm a professional electronics tech and have used Weller irons extensively for 25 years. I usually get the 3 LED 25 watt iron, and I go through 3 a year (I solder 40 hours a week). This one simply did not last more than 2 months before not getting hot anymore. Out with the old, in with the new? I don't think so....

Solder without ease!
Would RecommendReally great soldering iron! Great ergonomic grip. It fits like a pencil in your hand. The led light makes it easy to see the small components while soldering. I do wish the cord was longer so that I have some slack. It’s challenging when the cord is short and you don’t have a receptacle close.
Cheap item
after 1st use, the soldering iron never got hot again to even melt the solder. was basically a waste of my hard earned money. Will not recommend this to anyone.
Where has Quality Gone
Would Not RecommendAbsolute junk. Lasted 4 times, then won't get hot. Weller used to be worth something. Now, just a paperweight.
quick and easy fix
Would Recommendhave several at home, needed one on the road...

30w Weller iron
Would RecommendI was looking for a 15/30w iron. I like the LED ring for providing additional lighting under my layout. I'll have wait on durability, hopefully, it'll last as long as my old Radio Shack 15/30'
