not bad and a good price it is a pretty standard soldering station and is more than suitable for occasional use should last a long time as well but check price of replacement irons and if cheep enough get a spare as when they change the model the irons wont be available

They are good for small to medium stuff, heat up quickly and easy to adjust.
