Spend a bit more and get at least a 160Amp unit, preferably with a Euro torch and one that can take the larger 13KG rolls of wire. Mine is an Italian unit rated at 160Amps made by CEM but its poor quality for what it cost. It doesn't have the Euro connector for the torch and only takes 5KG rolls which unwind themselves and get tangled too easily. The feed motor is too small, I've had to replace the main power selector switch and the wire feed control rheostat is dodgy so stay away from CEM too . It has been in regular use for over twenty years though
