I'm in need of a good temperature controlled soldering station. My specific application is SMD soldering. I have searched Weller, OKI, Hakko & Goot.

Finally selected two soldering station from Hakko FX-888D & Goot PX-501.
The hakko comes with soldering station, stand, brass wire tip cleaner & sponge. Its cost is 9500(INR).
Goot PX-501 cost is 5500(INR) without accessories. Accessories need to be purchased seperatly & the Cost 6400(INR)

Now I'm confused it's because I'm not familiar with both brands. Goot has price advantage & more powerful heater(80W) compare to hakko (60W).

Anyone suggest which one is more reliable? which one i can select?
 

Hi @uday_cit,

I am searching for a good temperature controlled soldering station as well. Are the quotes you mention (INR 9500 for the Hakko 888D & INR 6400 for the Goot PX501) from authorized dealers in India? Could you share the dealer name & addresses. Would help me.

So far, I have only been able to find the Hakko 888D (I might prefer the Hakko 888D due to its digital display) on international sites - but then these are 110V models which won't work in India.
 

Hi Comet,
I can't find a best answer for my question (Hakko Vs Goot). Its like Apple Vs Apple. After a long search few things i came to know.

Hakko(FX-888D), we must to get it from a authorized dealer because there are lot of fake products in market (The original Hakko also from china). All the accessories are included in a single package no need to purchase add-on. Little expensive compare to Goot. I found some users are using the 936 model more then 20 years.
Goot(PX-501), lower in cost compare to Hakko but definitely not in quality. Need to purchase stand, brass wire cleaner & cleaning sponge separately. But the cost is still lower after including the add-on compare to hakko. As of i know the soldering bit is much better in Goot also little expensive compare to Hakko. This product also has long life.

I need two soldering station & finally i decided to purchase both the models.
