Customer Reviews for VEVOR Reflow Oven T962 110V Reflow Soldering Machine 800W 180 x 235 mm Professional Infrared Heater Soldering Machine Automatic Reflow Machine (T962 110V)

This oven will use 27.5 AMPS at 120V. Make sure you got a 50Amp breaker. Used a meter to measure power and current.

Installation instructions could be easier to understand. I have reached out to seller for clarification and they have been very helpful.

OK

Good Value reflow oven. Does require some slight mods before first use (replace masking tape with proper heat resistant tape). I would still recommend it due to the price.

Great reflow oven for the price. This has greatly sped up the process of soldering SMD devices on PCBs, particularly for small layouts with small package size components. A reflow oven always seemed like a pipe dream to have, but this one has so far held up and done exactly what I needed it to do.

Good gift for husband

WOrk just as described

This oven works and was as expected for the price. There's an exhaustive study on youtube on the modifications that need to be done. To be perfectly clear you HAVE to do these modifications or the oven will not function that well. The modifications in priority are: (1) remove paper tape and use kapton to replace it. (2) update the firmware. (3) add cold temperature sensor. (4) add air stirrer motor. I have not done #4 yet as that is a fair amount of rework but for the most part #1-3 are adequate.You get what you pay for here but the mods make it worth it IMO.

Great oven, value for money!

Product arrived in great condition. I immediately did the modifications that are suggested/required (the mods are all over the internet).1) Remove the masking tape and replace with Kapton tape.2) Ensure the ground wire is properly grounded to chassis (need to remove chassis paint to ensure a good connection).3) Updated the firmware with the custom open source firmware by unified engineering.4) Haven't done this yet but will soon...add the cold junction temperature compensation modification.I was willing to pay a good sum of money for a decent reflow oven but the problem is that you either see these inexpensive (relatively speaking) Chinese models or American models at 10 times the cost (which is more than I want to pay). Additionally you see lots of custom hacks with toaster ovens. After much research I chose this path and I'm glad I did. I went with the T962A model vs the T962 as the T962 is only 800 W but the T962A is 1500 W and I wanted the extra power in case I really load up the reflow oven with a lot of boards. The 3 hacks above took me a Saturday to knock out. Also, this version of the T962A has the rear fan shroud which really makes it easy to hook up a vent tube to exhaust the fumes outside and will definitely be useful if you are running lots of boards through it.
