I'm not familiar with that particular model, but I've tossed 2 of the Chinese Hakko clones we can get here in the states.
I have a Hakko 470 bench desoldering station, and a 808 portable desoldering gun. The 470 lives on my bench for day to day work, and the 808 goes on service calls with me.
The chinese clones both melted down - one only after a couple uses, the other a bit later. I'd plug them in, and within a few minutes of sitting in the stand, the heating element would get hot QUICK and the gun would start to deform.
So, if you use the Chinese stuff, watch closely. Yeah, you should always watch closely when using soldering and desoldering stuff, I know :)
