Love the welder to be honest. It has a few issues like the thumb screw that holds the mig gun in the welder. The other main issue I have is, the connectors are European Dinse connectors. So for someone who has welding leads and other welders that use the standard Dinse connectors can't use their cables without some adapter made. Third the mig gun uses a velocity tip and those are hard to come by unless you have a pretty decent welding supply house, Home depot and the big box stores don't carry them. The welder I got on the mig side it welds a bit cold so you have to turn the heat up on it, but the stick side of things welds great and even welds a bit hot to be honest. I have ran 6011 and 7018 on it and I have nothing but good things to say about how smoothly it ran them. However, the welding leads are mickey mouse and needs a serous up grade. I went larger wire size and then made mine 25' long and it runs smoothly.
