Characterized by its high-quality plastic and the integrity of the cable and switch. The fan was balanced, did not vibrate or move. The only improvement I see for this would be a speed potentiometer or switch for full and slightly lower for some noise reduction. It's definitely a great Hakko clone and best value for money for casual use. as a Hakko brand and why it doesn't have a "Made in Country" sticker. I'm not usually a fan of clones, but it's clear that Hakko is breaking the market with just a $70 fan.
