10 best soldering hair dryers with AliExpress

A soldering dryer is a device designed to provide rapid heating of metal taps to a predetermined temperature. A soldering dryer can be used to perform a variety of tasks: from drying various compositions to repairing car bumpers. However, most often this tool is used by radio amateurs for watering multi-output components.

Many try to make a hair dryer on their own from the materials at hand, but this idea often ends in a bad way: a home-made device is no different than reliability. However, for those who are not ready to lay out a round sum for the purchase of a hairdryer in the store, there is still a way out - ordering a tool on AliExpress. For a price that only rarely exceeds 4,000 rubles, you can purchase a quality and, most importantly, safe device. Considering that the cost of materials for the manufacture of a hairdryer is about 3,000 rubles, the purchase is definitely worth it.

The most difficult thing is to find the highest quality among all the proposed models. We have done this work for you and ranked the top 10 soldering hair dryers that can be purchased on AliExpress. The selection for the rating was based on technical indicators. product, its value and reviews of real buyers.

The best hair dryers in the soldering stations

One soldering hair dryer is usually not enough to work with anything, so most radio amateurs prefer to have a soldering station in their arsenal - a device that combines a soldering iron and a control module in addition to a heat gun. We have selected for you 4 soldering stations with Aliexpress, which have a hairdryer - a strong point.

5 Mypovos 858D

The 858D soldering iron dryer from Mypovos opens our rating. Buyers note the excellent build quality and flawless operation of the hot air gun and soldering iron. The heating temperature indicated by the indicator does not differ from the actual one, which was confirmed by measurements made by users. The maximum temperature of the hair dryer, which Mypovos reaches quite quickly, is the same as that of the first rating participants: from 100 ° C to 500 ° C. Depending on the equipment selected, tin pump, anti-static tweezers, solder, etc. can be attached to the station.

Mypovos perfectly implemented a soldering iron sleep mode. If you put the hair dryer in the holder, the station will automatically cool it and then turn it off, which makes the device more secure. You can not be afraid of fire.

4 Newacalox 8586

Last but not the worst in our ranking comes Newacalox 8586 - the most stylish representative of the soldering station class. The black case and the stylish LED indicator are able to decorate the workplace of the radio amateur. Also, the station is compact: its parameters are only 9.5 x 1.5 x 13.5 cm. However, the design of the station is rather a pleasant bonus, which in no case is at the expense of performance. Newacalox has all the same characteristics: power consumption of 700 W and a maximum temperature of 500 ° C.

Minuses a bit, but they are. Sometimes it may be necessary to recalibrate, because in some cases with factory settings, the temperature on the indicator is different from the real one.Also disappointing is the lack of a sleeping mode, because of which, firstly, the soldering iron overheats, and secondly, there is a risk of fire.

3 Qsunrun 858D

Model 858D from Qsunrun is a sturdy middling with technical characteristics with a standard-watt power supply unit of 700 W, outwardly little different from other similar devices on AliExpress. Accordingly, for the station all the traditional advantages of the apparatus are applicable:

• compact dimensions (weight 1.6 kg);
• good equipment (the set includes three nozzles of popular diameters for soldering parts of various types);
• fast heating (reaching the operating temperature in just 3-5 seconds);
• semicircular stand for hair dryer;
• almost silent operation.

It would seem that these advantages are already quite a weighty reason for buying, but the main advantage of the device lies in the other, namely in a very democratic price tag, even by AliExpress standards. Against its background, minor drawbacks, such as not the most comfortable sensations from increased heating of the handle, do not seem to be particularly significant.

2 YOUYUE 8586

YOUYUE 8586 - the owner of a very modest size, for which she was so fond of customers. But despite its size, according to its other characteristics, it is absolutely not inferior to the best aliekspressovskim soldering stations. The power consumed by the soldering iron and the heating element of the hairdryer is 50 W and 700 W, respectively, and their temperature ranges from 200 ° C to 450 ° C and from 100 ° C to 500 ° C. Judging by the reviews, the station meets the stated characteristics and is working properly.

But YOUYUE has disadvantages, namely an inaccurate indicator of the heating temperature of the soldering iron and a buzzing transformer. And if you don’t do anything with the first problem, the second one is solved quite simply: you need to put a press plate under the transformer and strengthen the holder and chassis with body washers. These measures allow completely get rid of the buzz.

1 Mypovos 8586

The station company Mypovos combines a heat gun and a soldering iron. Its main advantage is extremely precise adjustment of the heating temperature: the digital indicator shows the temperature with an error of 5 degrees. Also, buyers especially praise the ease of operation of the device due to the compact size of the instrument and rubberized handles. Both the hair dryer and the soldering iron are heated to a temperature of 350 ° C in about 10 seconds. The maximum heating temperature for a hairdryer is 500 ° С, and for a soldering iron - 480 ° С.

The kit includes 4 nozzles for the hair dryer: three round (5, 7 and 10 mm) and one square (13x13mm). In addition, anti-static tweezers, a tin extractor, a spare helix for the hot air gun, rosin, copper wire and copper braid, solder, chips for cleaning the tips and other trifles are attached to the product. The station is made of high-quality materials: metal housing, front panel of good plastic, ceramic soldering iron core.

Top standalone soldering dryers

Soldering stations are good multifunctional devices, but in everyday life there is often no urgent need for them (and this thing is rather large). For example, a simple hot air gun with several nozzles is more than enough for soldering simple elements and small repairs. Since such devices are not tied to the station, they are much more mobile (plugged in and use) and are also often called “autonomous”.

5 SunRun 8858

Reviews of SunRun 8858 are full of positive comments about the quality of the "stuffing" of the device. The flux is washed off almost completely, the power supply board is well soldered, etc. As regards the appearance of the device, the case, unfortunately, is not made of plastic of the best quality. According to the characteristics, everything is smooth: the soldering dryer quietly, but regularly performs its functions. The temperature dials quickly, stably, and on the indicator is displayed correctly. SunRun also has a sleep mode: when left on a stand, the heat gun blows the helix and is thus cooled.

There is no key for the nozzle and grooves for it, so the nozzle is very difficult to remove. Also, sometimes there are problems with the magnetic sensor, auto-off does not always work when in contact with the stand.

4 Yarboly

Someone will say that the power consumption of the heating element is 220 W, the compressor is 24 W, and the maximum temperature of 275 ° C is not the best performance for a soldering dryer. And this could be true if it were not for the incredibly low price of Yarboly. To perform tasks that do not require high performance, this heat gun - just the perfect option.

The device is made soundly. It is ergonomic, lightweight and very comfortable to use thanks to the flexible wire. The kit includes 5 interchangeable nozzles - this is the largest number for soldering hair dryers with Aliexpress. Of the minuses, in addition to not the highest performance, too thin wires. The rest of the Yarboly buyers leave only positive feedback.

3 Meterk Heat Gun

One of the few representatives of the class "soldering guns." This form factor stands out for its increased convenience and comfort of use (unlike other types of devices, the pen doesn’t heat up here, and, consequently, fewer interruptions are required during operation). At the same time, the hair dryer is powerful enough (1800 W) and is capable of producing heating up to 600 degrees as soon as possible.

However, despite the nominal availability of the appropriate settings, Meterk does not cope well with maintaining a specifically set temperature (the indicators usually vary within a radius of 30-50 degrees from the required figure). In the reviews, users note that it is still possible to adjust it, but it will take some time to get used to and adapt to the device. Therefore, a hair dryer is not suitable for soldering boards, but it is perfect for works with heat shrinkage, as well as with plastic, that is, where precise temperature control is not important.

2 SmileMango 8018LCD

This hair dryer is especially relevant in cases when it is inconvenient to use a standard soldering station or models with a power supply unit on the wire (for example, during repair of equipment mounted on walls or under the ceiling). All necessary elements fit in a small handle, thanks to which Smilemango does not take up much space and is easily transported. The case has an LCD display that displays information about the current temperature, as well as buttons for adjusting and setting the device (which means a minimum of distractions during operation).

The kit includes 4 nozzles from 3 to 10 mm in diameter and a special bracket-stand (although it is made of thin wire, easily deformed and breaking with time). For a better attachment, the nozzles are not just put on top, but also tightened with hose clamps, which, on the one hand, increases reliability, and on the other hand, complicates their change.

1 Youyue 8858

Compact, lightweight and easy to use, Youyue 8858 is no worse than the 852D + compressor soldering stations. It works silently, quickly gains temperature (maximum 500 ° C) and keeps it stable. You do not need to calibrate the soldering iron, the indicator “does not lie”: the temperature indicated by it differs from the real one by no more than one and a half degrees. Included are three nozzles of different diameters.

Youyue 8858 has a sleep mode: if you put the device aside, it will gradually cool to 60 ° C, and then turn off and remain in this state until it is removed from the stand again. The only condition - to go into sleep mode, the soldering iron must be placed on the stand with the impeller down. Customers advise before use to disassemble and inspect the device from the inside.It may be bad washed flux, but the problem is solved with alcohol.
