Reviews and returns
What reviews say buyers love and hate about Solder Sucker
What buyers praise, what they complain about and why they send it back, from the reviews.
Complain
The bottle size is fairly small at 10 mL
Its actually very small
Its a bit big
now even though its clean it has poor suction
more than you'd expect for something described as no clean
it's difficult to clean that out
Poor quality control
Build quality is another area where it feels a bit lacking
Its crap
Misleading product photo
Maybe 20% of what is shown in the picture, if that
Photo is misleading
One small issue is that the filters need checking often to keep the suction strong
once the suction tube starts to become clogged
otherwise the suction tube can start to clog up over time
Love
Good quality
It feels like a very good quality piece of kit
It feels well made
works as advertised
Much better than expected
As described

Good value for money
Excellent value
Really handy piece of kit

easy to use as no need to wipe off after
Works fine and does the job
Works really well
Did the job really well
