Review title: Smoking on first use
Product review: I did not but this from Amazon, but I wanted to write this review. I have been in the hobby for over 10 years and have used many sealing iron but this one is my least favorite by far. On the first use there was smoke coming out of the controls. I read another reviewer let it burn and the smoke went away. So I set it up on my concrete porch and the smoke did go away. This unmasked another problem though. The control knob gets HOT. I am pretty tolerant to pain but it was almost as hot as the bottom of the iron. I could only nudge it until it went to the off position. Even after letting it sit for a few minutes unplugged, the knob is still very hot. The sides of the iron are not rounded like the older irons, making it hard to do some rounded fillet areas.I honestly recommend looking for a slightly more expensive iron, in the long run it would only cost you $15-20 more (about the price of some mono/ultra/econocote)
