I find it nessecary to have some spare soldering thing, so whatever
happens with your main station, you can do thoose few remaining things
to finish.

In the page [3], there is a curve "Heating curve determination".
By the looks of it, it seems that this is a slow heater.

Other than that, no idea...

They have a money back guarantee [4], why don't you "buy" a few, and
return all but the one you like?
