Considering Yihua 936 50W Soldering Station 200-480 deg. C - How's the Temperature Control?

I do not recommend, 230V heater not durable, regulation without feedback on the triac.

Is the scooter suitable for commuting to the other end of the city? Suitable. Only it is a little more tiring than bus and more dangerous.
A colleague wrote above - it is a "station" with a poor quality soldering iron, powered from a voltage regulator (no power! It will not "hold" the set temperature like a "normal" station when soldering various elements - a large element means greater heat dissipation from the tip, and temperature Smaller element high temperature - if you set the "temperature" based on the behavior of tin when soldering small components and then you want to whiten, e.g. 2.5mm2 tin will not want to whiten it, because the temperature will drop) and in addition in case of failure (breakdown voltage from the heater to the tip) can damage - either the system or you ...
In general, Chinese in all its glory.
Whether you buy it or not - it's up to you. I would advise against.
If you want reasonably good and not having the above-mentioned disadvantages, buy something like this:

For "Sunday" soldering just in time.

And the WEP 936 station is also good?

You have the description on the page from the link I gave. The flask is powered by 24V, inside it has a thermocouple, which informs the electronics in the station about the temperature. If for some reason (e.g. soldering a large mass surface or bleaching the ends of large diameter cables), it turns on the power supply and heats the tip to the set temperature - this in turn is set on the potentiometer scaled in * C.
If you solder with tin with lead - you set the temperature in the order of 320-330 * C, like unleaded - slightly higher - 350-380 * C (you have to check it yourself - the scale is not very accurate, but once set the temperature is good), and how do you have to soldering something really big and the regulator fails; you can always set it to 450 * C - before the tip cools down, you can even solder a piece of sheet metal.
