We purchased this machine for my 24yo son. He has weld with mig and stick and wanted a tig machine. We looked at several and decided on this one. What a great choice. It is light weight and easy to use, especially for beginners. He said it is the best machine he has used. It is capable to stick welding also. He was very impressed with that as well. Worked better than his gas powered stick welder. Also note that this product was delivered within 3 days of purchase. We are very pleased all around.Thank youGM

Updated****(2 stars switched to 4, they refunded me the value of the hose I needed to buy)This is a nice entry level rig. It's nothing special but I didnt expect it to be. It did advertise "1-hose" which I assume is the shielding gas hose but it was not in the box. That's why I gave it 2 stars, for false advertising. I'd give it more if they had included all the parts.

I bought this to teach my kids how to weld. They are still working with 3/32 6013. So, I can't tell you if it'll do 1/8 6010. I did use the tig button for the high frequency lighting of the stick electrodes while just playing around with it. So that works and I do hear the gas solenoid working. Over all, I like it.-- CC

The unit arrived in 3 days 'm new to TIG and this machine makes setup a snap. Everything you need to stick weld is in the box. I'm getting a tank fri.You can't go wrong at this price.

The size is very portable

I bought this machine few weeks ago and, so far, no issues at all. I use it as I am learning welding. I recommend it.Eli

I’ve been using It just over a week now. Good starter welder.

This welder is not fancy, and not expensive, so it does not have advanced functions, however it seems a legitimate tool. The digital display for weld current is one feature it has which is great to have. I have not used it much but have tried both stick and tig functions. Adjustments seem to work and no issues like leaking argon for tig. I hope to practice with this a lot and hope it keeps working well. I read other reviews with other welders and some you want to stay away from. It now comes with a USA standard 110 outlet plug (early model, no digital display did not). [a lot more use on this model and it is performing perfectly, I'm actually amazed how easy it is to stick weld with it.]

Works well for the price. For light duty the tig torch and cable that came with it work fine but I quickly upgraded that. The electrode holder works well but is quite short. I got the 200 amp dc version and i’m Quite happy with it so far. Especially at the price.

Great machine, I’m learning how to Tig weld and this has been fantastic, the arc/Tig welder works great!! Best investment I’ve done for the garage in along time! I even got a call from the supplier to make sure everything was good and I was happy with the welder, how’s that for customer service! Top notch seller!!! Denis Turgeon
