My title says it all. Months ago now, I bought a BAKON 90W Soldering Iron Station. I haven't even opened it. I figured once I got good with the Stahl, I'd start using the higher quality unit. Well after MANY solder job and circuits built, the BAKON remains in it's box! I cannot part with this little station! Something about it! The temperature gauge works great. Sometimes the iron's tread (to hold the solder tip) comes slightly( loose. I remedy it while hot with a pair of need nose pliers. It's not an every use occurrence either. And with metal heating up that much and cooling down, this is to be expected. The sponge the until came with won't stay taped down after one use lol! (I don't know why you taped the sponge down Stahl, it's fine without it! Trust me!) I do use the sponge as you should always keep a wet sponge nearby when soldering whether you use a metal brillo clear or not. I use the Hakko gold metal cleaner in combination with this, some ti tinner, and some Kester 60/40. I am a soldering EXPERT! The right tools make THE WORLD OF DIFFERENCE! AND KNOWING TO KEEP YOUR TIP TINNED! I LOVE this station and there is ZERO reason it shouldn't help you get any solder done DONE! 4 stars for Accuracy as for I cannot attest for its accuracy but it's held its EXCELLENTLY accuracy as far as where the Temperature potentiometer is set! And it STILL holding the same temps as it was when it was brand new! So I gave it 4 since I'm not measuring a solder iron/don't have the tools to do that. If you won this station, you WILL develop a feel for the Temperature pot/knob.
