The bottom line The most powerful station here on paper — 1000 W and 120 l/min — and the least described. Maximum figures without controls, handle or cool-down leave most of what a rework user relies on unstated.
The ATTEN ST-862D listing, bullet by bullet
Five bullets, each a single phrase: 1000 W power; a temperature range of 100–480 °C; 120 l/min maximum airflow; an LED display; and four hot air nozzles.
Maximums without the ATTEN controls
1000 W and 120 l/min are ceilings. Rework is mostly done well below them, with airflow turned down so small parts stay in place. The listing gives the top of each scale and nothing about the bottom or the steps in between.
Five lines against the QUICK’s five paragraphs
The QUICK station reviewed here documents its airflow steps, memories, sensor control and holder. The ATTEN, dearer and more powerful, documents none of those. The difference is in the listings, and the page reports it as such.
What to ask before buying the ST-862D
The lowest airflow, how temperature and air are set, whether the gun cools in its holder, and the nozzle sizes. Each is a question the manual can answer and the listing does not.
Availability
At the last look-up, the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores were asking 232 € to 255 €.
It is sold in the British Amazon store as well, in its own currency, which the euro figures above leave out on purpose.
The American Amazon store returned no entry, so the buy button there opens a search rather than a missing page.

Questions makers ask before buying
How powerful is the ATTEN ST-862D?
The first bullet gives 1000 W, and the third a maximum airflow of 120 l/min.
Does the ST-862D cool down automatically?
The listing does not say. Its five bullets cover power, temperature range, maximum airflow, display and nozzles only.
580 W · 100–500 °C · airflow to 40 l/min in 1 l steps · closed-loop sensor control · 3 memories · brushless blower · auto cooling via magnetic holder · password protection · 3 nozzles
A 580 W hot air rework station with airflow selectable in one-litre steps up to 40 l/min, 100–500 °C under closed-loop sensor control, three memories, a brushless blower and automatic cooling triggered by a magnetic holder.
Best for: A repair bench doing regular SMD rework, where airflow must be set precisely and repeated from memory.
2-in-1 hot air and iron · iron 200–480 °C, sleep after 10 minutes · hot air 100–480 °C, cools to 100 °C in the holder · adjustable airflow · 3 nozzles, 5 tips · 220–240 V
A 2-in-1 station combining a soldering iron set from 200 to 480 °C with a hot air gun set from 100 to 480 °C, both PID-controlled, sold with three nozzles, five tips, tweezers and a desoldering pump.
Best for: A first rework bench that needs both an iron and hot air without two separate stations.
700 W · 100–500 °C · PID · adjustable airflow · auto start/stop in the holder, cooling to 100 °C · nozzles included · 230 V type F
A 700 W hot air rework station adjustable from 100 to 500 °C with PID control and adjustable airflow, whose gun cools to 100 °C and switches off when placed in its holder.
Best for: A maker who already owns a soldering iron and wants to add SMD rework, desoldering and heat-shrink work.
