I'm looking to get a backup soldering station for me, and a soldering station for a friend.
Years back another friend got an aliexpress station that takes genuine T12 tips and it was amazing value and is still going strong today.

So just wondering what anyone recommends today?

I can see there are some KSGER stations that take Hakko T12 and JBC-210 tips which seem popular.
eg

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000453770565.html
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004229715307.html


But one thing I don't like is the OLED display on most of them, I can see that having a burn-in problem if left on all day.

Any recommendations.

Currently thinking maybe this one

Why does it have to be "Aliexpress"? Do you own shares?
There are plenty of other internet stores.

The Aixun stations looks good (T3B, T3A).

SDG Electronics has many good reviews of soldering stations:

yep, but aliexpress is almost always better value if you know what to buy.
