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

The cheapest reflow oven you could buy 2 years ago was around $1000 so I made my own from a cheap toaster oven. Now this one is under $300 and its a steal! My concern was that it would be very difficult setting custom cycles. In fact its not that hard to do at all. However two of the pre-programmed cycles work for my different solder pastes. The progress of the reflow cycle is plotted on a graph as the cycle progresses. Checking the temperatures witha thermocouple, you must keep the PCBs away from the front 1" of the tray. (where its close to the glass) Anywhere else, the temperature is consistent.

It is very accurate and professional soldering option for small boards.C. Medina

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.
