This is a chinese copy of a Hakko 474 desolder station. While I haven't used one of the Japanese originals of this station I have used other Hakko irons and by comparison the Aoyue seems to be made from far cheaper materials. Is that a problem? It really depends on what you plan to use it for. Someone running a repair business or a rework line in a factory is probably best off buying a station from Hakko because the equipment will be worked hard and downtime is money. For the electronics amateur though this station is a bargain. Component removal jobs that took 10 minutes with a pencil iron and desolder wick can be done in seconds with the 474 with less risk of damaging pads or adjacent components.[...] use original Hakko filters. The Aoyue is so close that the filters made for the original Hakko station fit and the Hakko filters are orders of magnitude better than the Chinese made ones. The parts you need are Hakko part A1033 (large Ceramic paper filter), A1009 (small ceramic filter) and A1030 (spring filter.)
So far I am very happy that the Aoyue will do what I need. Time will tell how long it lasts.
