I purchased a reconditioned model at a deep discount. It works great .. I had previously used other welders both "cracker box Lincoln" and higher end models. Arc welding is mostly dependent on using good electrodes (dry and proper type) and operator skill. Like playing a guitar, if you can weld you can weld on this machine. I added a heavy guage (awg 6) extension cord to extend the range of the welder from the power supply. I would not recommend extending the leads from the welder as they are probably just OK for the length they are (kinda short). Better to get plenty of power to the welder than to extend the leads. I have had little problem with the welder over heating even though I exceeded the duty cycle when welding on larger projects. The over heat shutoff did work though which is a nice feature. Also the welder is not all that heavy so moving it is not a problem and it has rollers for rolling about .. a nice feature.

If you are looking for an arc welder, this item should get your attention. I work at a golf course with a very limited budget. Since my welder arrived, I have been able to perform several repairs to get equipment back in service. This unit is excellent for the novice or intermediate user. Free shipping, no less!

5.0 out of 5 stars great welder. don't let brand fool you. try it, you won't be dissapointed, August 27, 2009

i bought this welder new from ebay for 200.00. i was skeptical. to my surprise, this welder stacked up well against my lincoln 225 arc. i actually weld with this one a little easier. i welded 1/4 inch thick square tubing and it works flawlessly. don't let the brand scare. it comes with a 5 year warranty, manual, starter set of welding rods, hand held welding mask, hammer/brush. the other thing i like about this. it has two storage compartments. one on top, for rods, and one behind door,big enough for my welding helmet. i almost bought a new lincoln, but i am very happy with this. try it. you won't be dissappointed
