Reflow oven from ebay - T962

[darksir]

Hi all,
please, do you have some experience with cheap chinese reflow oven T-962 ?
I found some informations about poor quality, poor thermal power - in specifications have oven 800 W of power, but measured parameters is some about 300W etc...
This informations are everything from 2009 and earlier...

So, do you have fresh experience with this product? Is possible this product have new firmware, or better quality?

I need this for production 20-50 SMT pcb weekly and prototyping. Is DIY reflow from toaster oven better choice? I don´t have much time for this DIY project :-(

Many thanks,
Petr

**broken link removed** uses the T962.
They have not mentioned any problems in their web page.
It is low cost for the metalwork (enclosure) and controller, so even if you had to strip it down and reassemble, I
suspect it may be worthwhile.
However, I've not tried it (I'm planning to build my own, but the enclosure is a problem).
