1. X-Tronic 3020-XTS Soldering Iron Station

By: X-TRONIC

Personally, what I think makes the best soldering station, is the stability of the temperature and the heat up process. X-TRONIC offers you a soldering station that has such capabilities. You won’t have to wait anymore for the soldering iron to heat up. The Blue LED Display ensures the temperature range. It stands out from other soldering stations by far. 
The safety cool-down feature is something else to look forward to. It ultimately makes you feel more at ease while using your station. The air flow of the hot air gun, can also be adjusted. Such measures dealing with temperature control, make the soldering station effortless to manage. The soldering iron also has an analog knob for additional temperature control. The knob has Celsius and Fahrenheit markings and uses closed-loop feedback control. The entire design is considered to be safe by the ESD.
The soldering station has 3 air flow nozzles and a nozzle removal wench. You will also get a solder sponge for purposes of cleaning the corrosion off the iron’s tip. This enables you to solder quicker and in a cleaner manner. The stand for holding the soldering iron is made of plastic and considered to be quite stable. It won’t be hard for you to tell the hot air gun’s precise temperature. 
The X-Tronic 3020-XTS Soldering station has a Digital 3-number, 7-segment LED display for doing so.

- The soldering station comes with one very fine soldering tip.
- Digital buttons can control the hot air gun's temperature.
- The heating coil is very durable.
- Two cleaning surfaces: sponge and brass wire
- Magic temp technology provides quick operation

- The soldering iron flexes when hot.
- In rare instances, the handle may overheat at high temperatures
It doesn’t come with a variety of tips.

2. Hakko FX888D-23BY Digital Soldering Station FX-888D FX-888 (blue & yellow)

By: Hakko 

When you make this purchase, you will be getting; a fx-888d soldering iron, a t18-d16 tip, a Fh800 iron holder, an A1559 sponge, an A1561 cleaning wire and a manual. Hakko is known for providing digital technology, which is reliable. There is no way that you can go wrong with their soldering station. After using this particular make, you can’t go back to conventional models. The heater output is increased by 30%. You will be at awe with it exceptional thermal recovery.
The soldering iron uses T18 series tips. They have great heat conductivity and also play a role in its efficiency in thermal recovery. The components being worked on will incur a reduction in thermal impact. Soldering at lower temperatures is what makes this possible too. This Hakko soldering station’s performance will never leave you wanting. As a result of all that, the tip oxidation is reduced, and its useful life increased.

- You won’t experience any drastic tip temperature drops during work.

- Side holder for extra good soldering wire

- Compared to the rest, it will take 20 seconds faster, for the Thermal recovery graph Rise time to get to 350Degree.

-The soldering station has a questionable interface.

 
-Avoid rough usage, for it to last in the long run.
