There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I would recommend if you don’t have 220v getting another adapter for a generator (if you have one) the circular plug in not sure of the name.
Only problem was not with the machine just on my end I didn’t have correct breaker so I kept shutting the power off at 80amps with 110v so just make sure you have all the right electrical or generator when you wanna run higher amps. Other than that the machine is great! Looking at getting the forney 410 220 mp welder someday! Forney has excellent welders!
