Buy this if you want good price and a great cheaper machine.
Didn't know what to expect. Being a cheap DC welder, I had my expectations set very low. Let me tell you, this is an amazing little machine. Its not as nice as some of the brand name welders for 10x the price. But I was welding 3/16 steel with 3/16 7018 turned all the way up (3/16 rod is a little much for this guy to be honest) and it did the entire inside of the box 34"x36"x6" for my fuel tank. Never skipped a beat, never hit the thermal protection. I did give it plenty of time to keep cool though. Burned 4 rods back to back at a time. The fan is a little noisy, and never shuts off. But the thing is amazingly light. Now all this was done on 220. I have a small wire feed for any 110 projects I may need to do. With smaller rod this has no issue blowing holes through the 3/16 plate (screwing around)!

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2022
Love this little thing, runs smooth. It's super light. Knobs and switches instead of expensive digital read outs. Ran a 3/32 7018 at 78 amps to weld out this bench made of old handrails and scrap cedar. Turned out great. Leads and power chord seem to be longer than the competitors I've tried. Welds the same as any electric Lincoln, miller,profax,or Hobart I've tried.
