I got this station a few months ago. It turns on and hits its target temperature within a few ( to tens of) seconds, all the way up to its 850degree limit. It appears to maintain its temperature quite nicely even when the tip is put on a fairly large heat sink.

I've had this unit a couple of years. The base is solid and well-built; hefty, like a great paperweight. As the other posters have said, it heats up quickly and works well overall. In fact in general use it's an absolute joy to use!However.The weakness for me has been the soldering pencil, the WMP. After a couple years of light use, the bottom of the soldering pencil spins whenever I try to replace the soldering tip. A couple of nights ago, after the unit had cooled, I tried replacing a brand new tip and it simply would not come out. No, I had not overtightened it - I can't; the base wires spin and it's not a firm installation of the tips.Finally I resorted to using pliers on my (YIKES!) $14 tip to remove it. The WMP build is very poor and I'm going to contact Weller about getting a replacement; a new WMP (pencil) costs more than a brand new Hakko FX888!So I'm not saying avoid this unit - it is a pleasure to use when it is working. But it is frustrating to have such an expensive item fail so miserably. Let's just hope I got a bad WMP. Although repair costs for this (REPAIR) are $50.00 for the WMP - with shipping, again, this is near the cost of an entire new soldering station by Hakko.Mike

This is a sturdy, well built unit as you should expect for something in this price tier.So you turn it on, by the time you grab your solder and flux brush the thing is ready to go. 12 seconds, even on max.If all you have ever used is the little orange utility grade irons, this thing will change your life.I use it for a variety of minor electronic repairs and RC Racing stuff, this thing will solder most common wire gauges in fractions of a second.I don't know if its the way it heats or what the tips are made of, but the tips never get that black carbon buildup on them like cheap ones.
