is Atten ST-862D any good?

I've been deciding whether if I should get Quick 861DW or Atten ST-862D, but it seems like there's no proper 862D teardown out there.
so I am curious whether if anyone have a experience using it, and what do you think?

thanks

Not a teardown maybe, but surely you have seen Rossmann's video: https://youtu.be/wYCmU6jMLo8
Or any of the many other video's out there?

You can find photos if you search: https://www.mydigit.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=123382
They even show internals in their own listings: https://www.ebay.com/itm/ATTEN-ST-862D-Hot-Air-Rework-Station-1000W-Whirlwind-20L-120L-Min-for-PCB-Repair-/254438420315

What Rossmann says is probably right, if the $50-100 difference in price is significant for you, get the Atten.

Interesting website, I've never seen that before
for the seller image, their did not show the circuit board though? or do I missing something

for me, if 100 USD means better longevity, I'd gladly pay the difference though.
