Imported one of these a few weeks ago based on this review as I needed something that would go a little hotter than most hot air stations. This station is excellent well made and well worth considering. Thanks Steve
New information for buyers of this Unit! Just received an 8650 and I'd like to add that they have changed the heater element and they no longer provide the swirl nozzles or the angled nozzles. They have not updated any of the advertising, and show that you will get 8 nozzles, but when I asked about the missing nozzles I was told that the new heater element is an update and to keep the price the same the nozzles are reduced. I've requested a price for the 4 missing nozzles and was told that they don't have the swirl and angled nozzles, so they don't have a price. They have also said that they expect to get the swirl and angled nozzles in a few weeks, I'll update when I get the price for the missing nozzles.
@@Keiuran They have a new set of angled nozzles that they sell for $20US. I don't know if they have updated their advertising but it seems that going forward the angled nozzles will be extra. They didn't provide any information on a swirl nozzle, but I'm not going to pursue that. I've had the angled nozzles for a couple of weeks but haven't had the time to try them out. But I see no reason why they won't work as expected.
@@techmedicsuk8381 I guess I purchased at the wrong time. Glad to see that they are shipping what they advertise! 🙂Been using it a bit now and it seems to work great. Only thing that I'd change is to make the handle easier to rotate so as to be able to hold it in the right orientation to access the user buttons on the handle.
Great review! I was very confused by the MODLE button and now I can't stop laughing after hearing this high quality unit has a misspelling on the front panel! 😀
Looks like a company that takes pride in its work for the inside to look that nice, pity about the chrome though, I agree it makes it look cheap even though everything else looks good.
That is one of the best! hot air stations, for ease of use/functions. I've seen in a long time. Just the chrome buttons look a little out of place. Oh and the Hex screw driver is most likely, to help detach the handle from the base unit maybe. Thanks for the honest review Steve! 🖖👍
Hi Steve, nice Video and a Interesting Station. What about the Length of the Hose ? Which one of the China Stations you tested has the Longest Hose ? I have the Quick 861DW and the most annoying about the Quick (other than the Fix Mounted Power Cable) is the very Short Hose. Cheers, Konstantin
I see on the latest pictures of this that they removed the Chrome from the buttons. The Modle issue doesn't seem to be fixed but on the new 8630Pro version they have it as a Set button. Hopefully the 8650 will get fixed. They seem to have listened to the complaints.
I forgot to mention it since I barely noticed it in use. Up to 100 L/min its hardly noticeable, but above it's mainly noise of the air moving rather than the blower. Certainly one of the more quiet systems.
Hello, I am talking to you from Iran, please answer the Sogun 8650 heater that I bought in the middle of your video at minute 8:57. Tell me how to open the buttons, I feel that some part of my device is broken, help me if I need to take a picture for you, I use google translate, I don't understand your language, please send me a message or a video of how you fixed it. The red shape that looks like the handle of the 8650 device 0:08 0:11
Seems like a very nice piece of kit, but no way in hell am I paying that amount of shipping + import duties and taxes + handling for that... And i don't even mean the expedited UPS option, which would double the price of the product altogether - before duties, taxes and handling.
You could probably just paint them directly with a matte plastic paint if you don't like the bling. I'm sure they're plastic buttons painted with "chrome" paint as is now...
I've got a Best station combined with the upgrade board from @RandomHacks And it's really nice now. Depends on what ergonomics you want I still prefer the Best over this one, seems to bulky imo
@@sdgelectronics Better in terms of performance or ergonomics ? I doubt the additional air flow / 100W of power makes that much of a difference and I didn't see it being used on a PCB but I can be wrong
@@sdgelectronics Honestly between a stock BST station and this one I would choose this one, but with the upgraded control board I like it a lot, especially with the buzzer turned down

❤can look me.
It looks like a 2000s mini Hi-Fi system. I wonder where you insert your MiniDisk. 😅
Finally 8650! I was waiting 2 weeks for this test after another YT channel @SugonTools showed this new model. Thanks!

Great review, Steve, it seems to be a fantastic product. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Brian
Honestly i think this is the best user interface i've seen on a chinese device ever
Thank you bro, I'm really considering this station as an upgrade

I got mine 2 weeks ago it came 2 heating elements and 8 nozzles. Bent and straight btw

How does this compare to the upgraded the bst 863?
Thank you for the video!
Hi Steve, nice Video and a Interesting Station. What about the Length of the Hose ?

nice item, the actual temp display is a touch fast before it actually gets to that temp, I guess it just tells you it is heating up
Yeah it's the temperature on the heating element, plus a bit of fakery I think.
how is the sound level vs some others air stations
I forgot to mention it since I barely noticed it in use. Up to 100 L/min its hardly noticeable, but above it's mainly noise of the air moving rather than the blower. Certainly one of the more quiet systems.
Is this is better tgan Metcal orange.hot air station?
That is $573 CDN after discount and before DHL fees and GST collection here in Canada

Did you got the solution
Steve could you review the JBC JTSE i wonder how it performs, excellent video.
I waited for that entire video for you to remove the screen protector 😂 and you left me hanging. Great review though
Nice of you to do this but for that price honestly that attn that Louis rossmann stands behind is the best and known to be a real useful workhorse.
How would you think this Hot Air Station compares to the Metcal HCT-910 you reviewed a while back?
Yeah!
atten 862 vs sugon 8650 which your choice mister?
Looks like it shares parts with the dashboard of car. The excessive chromage is a deal killer.
and about the noise steve it have less noise than the quick?
Yes, it's very quiet. You mostly hear just the noise in the nozzle
Kaisi （sugon）tools 🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻🤝🏻
almost overengineered I'd say but not going to complain. The "K.I.T.T." style LED bar might be unnecessary :)
hey steve , would you please review the new Aixun H310D Hot air station
i would really appreciate that 🙏
I'm supposed to be getting it shortly
@@sdgelectronics that's awesome, keep going bro , i like ur content 👏
Переплата за кнопки на ручке, в чем смысл? У меня SUGON 8620DX тоже самое, но в разы дешевле
I agree and hate the chrome switches they remind me of 80's kids toys !.....cheers RIP Calculon
Yeah was about to say the same, kids toy UI.
Seems like a very nice piece of kit, but no way in hell am I paying that amount of shipping + import duties and taxes + handling for that... And i don't even mean the expedited UPS option, which would double the price of the product altogether - before duties, taxes and handling.
The chromed plastic buttons are, frankly, cringe! Ugh, if I bought one I'd have to make new buttons for it.. haha.
I wonder if there is enough clearance to simply wrap them in vinyl sheet?
I didn't think about printing some new buttons. Good idea, I'll see if I can do that. Vinyl wrap would work too
You could probably just paint them directly with a matte plastic paint if you don't like the bling. I'm sure they're plastic buttons painted with "chrome" paint as is now...
Nice
Ergonomics?
It can't be compared to something from the professional tool manufacturers, but it's the same as pretty much all the others.
i was gonna buy the best hot-air station but i think i'll save up for this istead
I've got a Best station combined with the upgrade board from @RandomHacks And it's really nice now. Depends on what ergonomics you want I still prefer the Best over this one, seems to bulky imo
This one is definitely the better station, but I used the Best daily for over a year with no issues.

@@thobiasmartin4768 just the usability and the likely longevity
Unfortunately it looks like a cheap mini stereo system from the 90's.
The chroming definitively not otherwise they machine is great, there really have to reduce the weight
