Pricey at $290.00 IMHO.
I guess it has a motorized suction pump.  Other industrial  ones that look 
like a soldering station are usually pretty good too.

I use mine for desoldering everywhere including switch wafers - much less 
thermal and mechanical stress than any other method I've tried.

I bought one from ebay last month for 178.00 with free shipping, 
best price I had found, still plenty left from niosales.
