Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I like comprehensive reviews so here is my contribution. I am a mechanical Engineer and have deep knowledge in electrical systems. Doing weld for my work and hobby, TIG, MIG/MAG, Stick. This machine is FANTASTIC and by far is the best cost/benneffit you can have. Build quality seems similar to Miller and Lincoln at a fraction of the cost. Not only for DIY enthusiasts but for professional use too. Ever thought how good is to carry a machine that costs 1/5 of a Miller and if you beat it, you can have another 4 to buy??? besides 2yr warranty.... Tested it in ALL modes. Works VERY WELL in 120V and whoever commented something negative about probably lacks the basic knowledge of what trade-off is 120V welding - if your 120V supply wiring is not adequate, surely will not work but this is the same for ANY brand and model! I successfully did 120A TIG AC and DC and also Stick. This is enough power to use 7018 1/8" rods. Speaking about 7018 rods, it welds so smooth that it feels like you are welding with 6013 or 7014. Almost no sticking on start of arc and definitely welds 7018 with much easier starts than a Miller Bobcat (machine I use a lot in the field). Nice features like ramps upslope and downslope, AC ballance in a wide 30-70% range, has 2T/4T, torch with trigger for the awkward positions and a foot pedal for working in the bench. Pedal is sturdy and heavy enough for not walking away. Comes with a well made Argon regulator too. Cons are minimal: - No option for 'lift TIG' start. Only HF start. Not a huge issue but if you weld in locations EMF noise is an issue, you won't be able to use. - Plugs are Dinse 9 and not 13 as I would expect for a 200A TIG /180A stick - Torch is the 'Euro Style', very good quality but not my personal preference as this is heavier, bulkier and the cable is stiffer than a regular torch So as you see the cons are peanuts and definitely compensated this nice price. With time, I may update this review if any new bad/good relevant thing is applicable.
