Review of Aoyue 701A+ Dual Function Soldering and Desoldering Station

I bought the 701 for a home/hobby project that required quite some de-soldering. First impressions of the Ayoue:
-Solid build
-Well packed
-Comes with replacement tips, filters etc.

Initial dislikes:
-A scratch on case
-Missing trimmer cap
-User manual could improve

It looks like Ayoue lacks a little with their quality control. However working with the 701 is fun:
-De-soldering works great
-Nice feel (handling) of the de-soldering gun
-Gun is easy to use (compared to Weller foot pedal)

Dislikes during use:
-Iron holder a little cumbersome (holder for pump-gun is OK)
-Iron handle gets warm (compared to Weller)
-Tossing pumped solder is difficult
-Solder reservoir is too small

All in all, at that price, the Ayoue is unbeatable. If you are on a budget and need a de-soldering station, the 701 is the way to go. I would buy it again.
