I actually own this one, and I'm not too happy with it. The build quality of the iron bit is pretty pour in my opinion, and I already had to replace the ceramic heating element because the iron couldn't handle the pressure I needed to apply in order to wick some solder blob. It was relatively cheap when I got it, and I regret not going for a more expensive, higher quality station.

My experience, anyway.

I've been asked this question before and thought I had a whole essay up
my sleeve. After searching for it for Little While, I can't find it.

Suffice to say, I have this:

It's very good.

Unfortunately it looks like it might difficult to get these days.

A little bit of digging suggests that it might be a rebranded Tenma and
one of these looks like it might be the newer version:
