Light weight too many electronic components.

10 months ago
Not a bad machine. Have it in shop for cpu failing and now it won’t idle out of low idle into high idle. So no more welding at the moment which sucks. Initially I wanted to older model but it was sold out and now I regret getting the newer model.

No, I do not recommend this product.
