YIHUA 858D hot air station, 700 W, 100 to 500 °C review
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.
The bottom line A focused hot air station with a clear temperature range and an automatic cool-down in the holder. Airflow and nozzles are named without figures, which are the two settings a rework job is run with.
The YIHUA 858D listing, bullet by bullet
Five bullets: a digital real-time temperature display and a new heating element for SMD soldering beyond what an iron station can do; 100–500 °C with PID control to protect chips from overheating; automatic start and stop, cooling the gun to 100 °C in the holder before switching off; a step up for users with only an iron station, for through-hole sockets, QFP, PLCC, BGA and heat-shrink; and 230 V with a type F plug and 12 months of EU technical support.
Cool-down in the 858D holder
Put the gun down and it cools itself to 100 °C before switching off. The third bullet presents the cool-down as reducing unnecessary wear on the heating element and extending its life.
Airflow without a number
Air volume is adjustable, according to the title, and no range is given. For rework, airflow decides whether small parts stay in place, and it is the setting to find in the manual.
Where the 858D sits on a bench
No iron is included. The listing is explicit that this is the second tool, added beside a soldering station — which is also how the page reads it.
Availability
At the last look-up, the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores were asking 46 € to 60 €.
The American Amazon catalogue lists the product, yet no seller was offering it.
The British Amazon store returned no entry, so the buy button there opens a search rather than a missing page.

Where it earns its place, and where it falls short
Strengths
Automatic start and stop in the holder, cooling the gun to 100 °C before switching off
A 100–500 °C range with PID control
Named uses including QFP, PLCC, BGA and heat-shrink tubing
Compromises
No airflow range and no nozzle count
No handle details
No soldering iron: it complements a station rather than replacing one

Questions makers ask before buying
What happens when the YIHUA 858D gun is put down?
The third bullet says that, placed in the holder, the gun cools automatically to 100 °C and then switches off temporarily, to reduce wear on the heating element.
Does the 858D include a soldering iron?
No. The fourth bullet presents it for users who so far have only a soldering station and want to add SMD rework.
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.
