I used this iron for the first time. Had low expectations due to the USB connection. The packaging was really nice and professional. The instructions are pretty clear too. 3 temperature levels: hot, hot, hottest. The first setting is ideal for normal operation. It's great to know that I can get even hotter if needed. The USB cable is like silicone wire, so it bends easily and should last a long time. The only thing I would have wished for was a battery. That would be the best. I can't say anything about the durability of the heating element or the tip. The first night with this iron was a really great experience.
