Could be perfect
4.0
This is a very good quality all in one unit with a few quirks, it is very annoying that some of the ports error out on different model irons. You need to use specific ports, OK fine but then sometimes it will error for no reason for something that should work in that port... Not ok for the price.
TEquipment Response: Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate your business. We are sorry to hear you are having some issues with your unit. Please give us a call so we can try to assist you with this.

Higher expectations

I purchased this system thinking it could serve as a complete rework system. While the soldering and desoldering tools are fantastic, I am quite disappointed in the hot-air capability of this rather expensive unit. There's almost nothing that you can do with the hot-air that is of significance other than pre-heating, spot reflow, or desoldering small components like chip resisters. It's utterly inadequate for any SOP, TQFP, or BGA desoldering or reflow.
If you purchase the FM-206, don't bother with the hot air. Just get the SMD tweezer, solder, and desolder gun combination system (FM-206-DTS).

Works well overall
4.0
Works quite well. The included hand-pieces are reasonable for a lot of tasks, but adding the micro-iron adds a lot of extra functionality. The error messages from the unit are not very helpful, but it does not seem to suffer from some of the instability that the older ones did.
The PID loop on the desoldering iron could be better, but it still works just fine. Just be sure to hold it on the pin for a few seconds before trying to use the vacuum.
