Not hot enough is pretty decent concern given the product.

Definitely don't use a gun on repairing / assembling electronics -- you will lack the precision that a good iron will give you.

Sad to hear about the quality of Weller being in the toilet, they used to be quite a popular brand. Like most brands, they sell out and offshore manufacturing with components of questionable quality. My old Weller soldering gun is still running solid but I imagine it's prob 20-30 years old.

Even a 25W Weller iron will be OK for most purposes (although I would definitely recommend a 40W instead or (ideally) one with adjustable temperature), but you definitely get what you pay for. Another poster mentioned a pen soldering iron, and those are pretty good -- I have one that is powered by butane and it works quite well, but I primarily use my 40W Weller at home (and a solder station when required at work).
I still do think Weller products are fine -- there are some better options out there, but for general use, they're not bad.
You definitely should get a solder sucker as well as solder wick if you are going to be desoldering anything. Both are cheap and easy to use.
There also is some technique when working with old solder -- you should flow some new solder in and it will help the old solder flow and then you can easily remove it with a sucker / wick.
As a side note -- almost all pots will be linear -- its the other circuitry that may make volume control non-linear.

This being one of my first soldering irons turned me off from Weller as a brand. Some people are very happy with their higher-end Weller products. But when something is this bad on the low end... Spend $15 for a 40-watt actual 80-watt rated digital temperature controlled iron from ebay and you'll have a much better product. Believe it or not. Several of the projects I've done with mine were like all-day events where the iron is on for hours at a time. It heats up giant 4-gauge copper crimps with ease, soldering leads onto giant LED COBs with massive aluminum MCPCBs is a breeze. All the kind of stuff this weller piece of shit struggles with.
This product is a very specific tool for a very specific job. if you are trying to solder everyday component's and detail work- DO NOT BUY. It takes a long time to heat up, and gets far too hot to handle effectively with small items. the bendy head bit warps easily and its heavy to handle.
If you are looking to do small home electronics repairs and things like that, go for the station type solder irons with the sponge and holder and adjustable heat.
Buy the right tool for the job instead of complaining that this isn't the right tool for what you happen to need it for.
