content: Good morning/evening everyone, this is my first post but I've been reading this forum since years. I'm considering purchasing an hot air station for my random, hobby level, repairs involving smd.I've been reading the specs on the quick-global.eu website and I got a bit confused.For the quick 861DW it says:Air volume: 1-120 classAir flow: 50 L/min (max)I checked the manual linked in the same webpage and it states:Airflow range: 1-120 Level.Wherever I look for such station people or descriptions speak about 120 L/min.Same goes for the Quick 861DE:Air volume: 6-200 classAir flow: 90 L/min (not 200L/min)What am I missing?

content: From quick website:861DW rated 50L/min (but really 100 or 120?)TR1100 rated 120L/minTR1300A rated 70L/min861DE is rated 90L/min (but really 200L?) measured here:youtube.com/watch?v=IVXnxbliBMgAtten 862D rated 130L/minI don't think you'd ever actually want to use 200L/min. 50L/min is more than enough for my uses.Previous threads:https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-1058-quick-861dw-hot-air-rework-station-review/https://www.eevblog.com/forum/reviews/quick-861de-aka-do-i-need-more-than-120lm/

content: Thanks for the reply, I mentioned the 861DE just for example but I was interested in the 861DW. I already checked in past those threads you linked and in both of them the Quick 861DW is considered to be a 120L/min station. In the second thread there is this link to TEquipment:https://www.tequipment.net/Quick/861DW/Desoldering-Equipment/Rework-Stations/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3YvMreWE9QIViSlMCh2bWgnoEAAYASAAEgI11_D_BwEOpening both the Catalog and the Spec sheet PDF documents of the 861DW you can read: Max Airflow 120 L/min (but those are from the quick-global.com website, not quick-global.eu) so there is some sort of discrepancy and I am wondering which one is right.Did Quick officially derated the 861DW and forgot to update some of the documents or what? Someone measured the airflow like for the DE version?Because if the DE is proven to be rated as 200 L/min then the 90 L/min value on quick-global.eu makes no sense and so could be the 50 L/min for the DW version...

content: Yeah now I'm not sure why the quick website says 90L/min for 861DE. And 50 for DW, odd.You can see the fan is different:https://quick-global.eu/product/brushless-vortex-fan-for-quick-861de/https://quick-global.eu/product/brushless-vortex-fan-for-quick-861dw/It looks much more powerful.But anyway I wouldn't worry, they all should be fine.

content: Yeah, I was not planning to buy the 861DE version since it's pretty much overkill for my needs, I was just trying to compare the 861DW with other brands like the ATTEN 862D; but then found those misleading specs and I guess it's not a fair comparison anymore if both are 1000W but one is 50L/min and the other 130 L/min, right?

content: I recently bought the Quick 957DW Hot Air Rework Station and am very happy with it. Very basic, but the blower is in the base unit and it has individual analog air and temp controls with digital temp readout. For $125 I think is is a good place to start. Certainly I would like the 861DW, but I am just learning the basics of SMD hobby work and $300 is a lot to spend. I would rather take the $175 difference and use it for a hot plate which looks very handy for doing medium sized PCB's. My 2 cents.
