Customer Reviews for VEVOR Reflow Oven T962A 110V Reflow Soldering Machine 1500W 300 x 320 mm SMD SMT BGA Professional Automatic Infrared Heater Soldering Machine W/Smoke Exhaust Chimney Cooling Efficiency

It was robustly packaged for the airline journey. Promptly shipped. Item works as advertised. Documentation can use some improvements in grammar. I am satisfied with my purchase. A good purchase.

Great entry level machine. Super easy to mod to upgrade firmware. I recommend anyone that buys this looks into the mods that can be added.

Great little oven for leaded solder. It works and gets boards done. It's small on the outside but good enough to fit a few boards at once if they're not giant. Press one button, wait 7 minutes, out come boards. I can't vouch for fancy lead free solders, obviously this isn't for production but nice to make a batch right after your first board is assembled and tested

Pretty well-built for the money. I didn't bother to turn it on before doing the recommended upgrades, works great now, can't complain. 4 stars for the paper tape inside and crappy software, but very usable after doing all the mods.

Definitely do the Kapton tape rework for this unit (or any other unit that looks like this one but has a different seller name). After the rework, I have not had any issues with the smell.Things that annoys me:-The beeping once the batch is done. I will rip that speaker out one of these days.-The "stickiness" of the button. (I imagine that it's a software delay rather than something wrong with the hardware.)

Anyone thinking of purchasing this should research the interwebs for the pros & cons so you know what you're getting. If you do decide to purchase it I STRONGLY recommend completing the modifications as it will make the machine a whole lot better. I ran the machine both before and after the mods - no question they NEED done!I give it 4 stars for a couple of reasons:- The makers know about the issues and have done nothing to improve the design and the major issues can be resolved for less than $10- Which is the other reason I give it 4 stars. Pretty cheap & easy to make it a really nice machine and if you're purchasing this you most likely have the skills, tools and knowledge to fix the problems.

I was very impressed with this Reflow Oven. I had read and seen YouTube videos which were more than a bit negative. They provided information as to how to eliminate the smell, how to improve performance, etc. etc. But I just plugged it in and ran a couple of dry runs and observed that it did not smell anymore than a household kitchen oven when first turned on -- not much. I am an electronics engineer and needed an oven like this to build prototype surface mount boards. I loaded my 120mm square (4 3/4 inch) board with SMT parts, crossed my fingers, and ran the standard automated F1 temperature profile. All parts from very small to some large components (mostly1206) came out beautifully soldered. I am so glad I didn't listen to the OLD negativity. This company appears to keep improving their product and keeping the price down so that professionals and hobbyists can be successful. Thanks also to the supplier, who delivered the T962 on time when I was needing to quickly replace my hot air gun.

Did not work for me but the seller refunded me.

Soldered 4in X6.6in PCBs. It is very easy to use. Select a program and go.

I was nervous to spend over $200 for this oven, but it works great right out of the box. I have been using Chip-Quick low temp soldering paste and the first standard soldering profile (even though it is a much higher soldering profile than the Chip-Quick suggests) - it is soooo awesome. I put a tiny, tiny bit of solder paste on the pads, place my part, and throw the board in the oven. 8 or so minutes later, I have a perfectly soldered board. I have had no trouble and have been very pleased with this purchase.
