I had another inexpensive welder that stopped working after a few years. Since I was a beginner, I didn't know what to look for when I first bought it. I bought a new one because it can weld MIG and flux cored wire as well as a stick. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. "Instruments" such as cane holders and a gas meter were first class. I thought I would use core flux for my application, but it didn't really work for geometric reasons. So I went back to the stick, which to my surprise worked much better than the old box. I attribute the better weld to the fact that in addition to the current setting it has a voltage setting that limits the power as you lift the rod farther from the weld. I like this device. It does everything as advertised. It runs smoothly and does what it's supposed to. I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell, this works well.
