[Wanted] Affordable desoldering pump station

<< < (4/4)

VEGETA:
i couldn't find a good amazon listing for 220v version, thus got this suggestion:

220v to 110v converter: https://www.amazon.com/ELC-Voltage-Converter-Transformer-Compact/dp/B07D92L9Z8/
ZD-915: https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Desoldering-Station-Anesty-Professional/dp/B07542D82F/

ZD-915 seems currently unavailable, so I found this as alternative:

https://www.amazon.com/YIHUA-Desoldering-Station-Soldering-Iron-dp-B07RTXCHGV/dp/B07RTXCHGV/

what do you think?

AVGresponding:
Check earthing and power connections internally CAREFULLY before using one of these. It's not unknown for earthing to be non-existent, and for phase and neutral to be the wrong way around. Other than that, they are generally usable, from what I understand.

you mean ZD-915 or the converter?

I really searched amazon but couldn't find 220v versions which is surprising to me since most stuff I find in electronics can handle 220v.

I previously bought a mini portable soldering station from aliexpress some years ago and it is very nice, didn't know anything about its grounding.

alm:
Amazon.com is targeted at the US market, so naturally they'll sell 115V units. Have you checked Amazon from 230V countries, like Germany, France, UK, etc? This is assuming a 230V version exists.

Quite a lot of the cheaper stuff, mostly from China, can have rather sketchy power wiring.

I seem to remember Yihua being mentioned in connection with this sort of fault, in the forum before.
