Tatey has given you some good advice there, that forum is a mine of info. The problems people have with cheap migs are all there to be seen. Ask weldquip on that forum what he thinks

My advice is if you are buying a welder don't skimp on price you get what you pay for with welders. I spent a bit on a sip pro (pro Ha bloody Ha)before i knew any better - ended up doing all the transformer mods suggested on the mig welding forum - Better but still not as good as a decent kemppi migatronic or similar.

I suppose unless you have used a decent welder you wont realise how bad some of these machines are.

If it were me I would look out for a used professional set rather than waste money on one of these hobby migs.
