Buying a soldering station

[ShadowReaper]

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?

 

[Hero999]

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

 

[ShadowReaper]

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

 

[Hero999]

Why would you waste money on 200W?

Read the specification.

YEAH you must need a transformer but what will be its rating? i don't know.

I have a power supply circuit with its some specification at [http://7e535e1b.linkbucks.com/]

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

Looks good, i was considering on purchasing a unit soon. We do a lot of board repairs. I , myself still trying to get well equipped in the technique tho. Been mainly testing on dead devices.
