The 858D we have in the lab is perfectly fine for smaller components with less pins and board with less thermal mass. However, boards with more thermal mass, or packages with many pins require long exposure of the 858D.

After reading some forum entries, and reviews [1][2][3][4], I think I found some good candidates: The Quick 861DW, Quick 861 Pro, or the AIXUN H310D.

The two metrics that are most important are air flow in l/min and the temperature range. In practice the Quick 861DW has about 50 l/min [5] (from the 120 l/min advertised).
