Hello,
I am thinking of buying the Hakko FX888 soldering station http://www.hakko.com/english/products/hakko_fx888.html

The problem is that the one I found requires input voltage of 110V, but I am in Europe and the input voltage is 220V...
If I buy a transformer will it be fine?

Yes, as long as the transformer is rated to 70VA or more.

Are 70watts enough? I was thinking about a 200watt transformer...

Why would you waste money on 200W?

Read the specification.

There is no need to buy a greater transformer that you really need
