I've designed my first SMT board and will shortly need to assemble it. There are a further 3 designs to come with progressively increasing component counts - up to ~100 components. I doubt I will ever make more than 3 of each board - so basically hobby work.
I'm pretty okay with hand placing as there's nothing smaller than 0804, but I might end up using PQFP type packages. Therefore, I think reflow is best / necessary.
I've read and watched a lot about the T962 and T962A. Maybe with the mods they are okay, but I am not that sure.
What I didn't see was any review or comments on the T962A+ - has it fixed any of the problems of the T962/A or is it just a bit bigger and more powerful?
What is more interesting to me is the ZB....HL series (ZB2015HL, ZB2520HL and ZB3530HL).
From the pictures this looks like a better designed unit, but who knows what lays beneath. I cannot find any reviews of this oven at all, but I don't think it is a re-badged T962. The RS-232 interface is interesting, but the example pictures show Windows XP so difficult to know if the software is even supported. It does imply the product has been around for a while, so it is rather surprising there are no obvious reviews.
I would very much appreciate any observations about this oven. Thanks!

Those IR ovens tend to heat the PCB not very uniformly.
A standard convection kitchen type oven distributes the heat more evenly, and is a lot cheaper too.
There are a bunch of after market / open source controllers available for programming heat profiles.
But for occasional soldering, a hand held hot air gun is also a good start.
