Re: Cheap soldering iron & blower combo
You need to be careful with AliExpress and select the right 'colour' from the web page. Although it's a very cheap price, that price is for the hot air wand only.
If you change the colour to the item containing everything, it's more like £32. Still cheap mind, but the whole 'colour' ting has caught me out before, just be careful or you may get something different to what you're expecting.

Buyer beware, I bought this exact model solder station on AliExpress 2 years ago.
Out of the box the hot air fan motor terminals were shorted together so had to buy a new motor to fix it.
I was denied a refund on the blower because photos weren't enough, they wanted video as well.
The Soldering Iron part died after a few months as well and I couldn't leave further negative feedback because the store had closed.
You'll probably have better luck buying through the official JCD store on AliExpress. Other than this I've had good experiences buying stuff from AliExpress including refunds when required.
