Waste of money
a year ago
Do not buy this machine. It is a waste of money. I don’t weld every day but I bought this machine to build barns and pipe fence on my place.
It won’t start most of the time and I had to put an inline gas valve and shut the gas off every time. It has locked up twice and I’ve had to put a starter on it.

Light weight too many electronic components.

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.
